After months of hard work - blood, sweat and beers, my first CB product get denied! Need alternative

Warriors,

A few months ago I decided to bite the bullet and start working on my first product. Well, after months of hard work, the time had finally come to submit my product to CB for approval. I had worked all day getting dlguard set up and running with Clickbank.

This morning I get a message saying, "After a full evaluation we have decided we cannot accept this product. Click bank does not allow any sort of auto commenting, auto views or un-natural traffic."

My product isn't really about any of that. I'm offering video tutorials on how to use a popular software.

The craziest part about it is, there is literally a product already approved by CB that is the EXACT same thing except it's in .pdf form. The other product is a guide teaching you the exact same software I'm teaching. The only difference is he offers a .pdf guide and my product is video tutorials + .pdf guide. There are also 2 other products that are very similar to mine ... I'm really stumped as to why mine won't be accepted.

I sent them a message back showing the other approved products and asking to be reconsidered. (hopefully I didn't get any other marketers in trouble)

I'm really trying to figure out how they got their product approved while mine was denied so fast.

Ok, so if I can't use CB for my product, what would be the next best thing? I'd really like a place that handles the affiliate payout for me. I know enjunkie doesn't do that so I'd prefer not going there. Also I'd have to make sure that it works with dlguard. I know dlguard works with paydotcom. Does anyone have experience there? Any ideas? Ahhh this is super disappointing.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Sorry to hear about your situation. You might want to check out paygear.com and shareasale.com and see if any of them are appropriate.

    That's one of the things I don't like about ClickBank... you have to play by their rules.

    There are other platforms you could use... Rapid Action Profits, Nanacast, PayDotCom...

    First of all if you want it to be on Clickbank then you don't have to give up on that yet. The reason why I say this is because one of my products was rejected twice before they finally accepted it. Simply ask SPECIFICALLY what steps you can take to make it get accepted. Usually with a few back and forth emails you can figure out what they are taking issue with.

    If clickbank still doesn't work out you could try Rapid Action Profits and if I'm not mistaken you can set it where the affiliate gets paid instantly. In other words, you don't have to worry about paying them later. Do a search for it on this forum, there are tons of reviews about it.

    Check out DigiResults.com.

    It's a new network.

    Andy Fletcher (member here) owns it. Immediate Paypal payouts on every sale. Not "rotating" commissions like most instant commish, affiliates get paid on every sale.

    It's just like CB, except it's free to get started, everyone gets paid immediately, you can be up in running in minutes, you can start earning today and it's just a slick system all around.

    Quick disclaimer, Andy is a friend of mine. Even if I didn't know him I'd recommend the network after checking out all of the features.

        Wow, lots of other sites! And sorry about CB.

        Hopefully CB will reconsider and you don't
        have to apply to one of the others.

    Andy is not a friend of mine... but I can vouch for his system: it works wonderfully for me. I put up there a small product and I have affiliate sales every day.

    I also suggest you try digiresults.com

    Wow, I love this forum. I leave for a while to go for a jog, come back and I have 13 replies. Excellent!

    All of you gave great advice and I really appreciate it!

    I got a response back from CB after I asked them to please reconsider or if there was anything on my web page i could change

    Right now we're kinda going back and forth so hopefully I can get it approved after some tweaks.

    Thanks again for the great info

    I'm selling ownership rights to a product that would get through CB - if you're interested just let me know.

      I am using paydotcom. But I still have to manually pay my affiliates. If there's an automated way to do it with PDC, I haven't seen it yet.

      I find PDC 'mostly simple.' However, the parts that aren't so simple, well, that's a horse of another color because, their support SUCKS.
