CJ Advertiser dismissed me out of hand!

Advertiser on CJ dismissed me without an obvious review period.

I'm thinking that this is because my website has been under maintenance and is not presently visible to the internet, so there is no data.

I would like to promote an offer for a CJ advertiser within my freebie. I've got a nice pdf freebie in which I would like to promote numerous offers but I have yet to be accepted for any of them.

Seems like the normal newbie catch 22: no job without experience and no experience if you cannot get the job.

I am trying not to go out with a bare bones site but it would seem that there is no choice but to get the useful content out there, generate some interest and traffic, and then prove to would be advertisers that I am worthy.

Question asked. Question answered I suppose.

Is this typical experience? I keep hearing others say to put affiliate links within your free gift but how is a newbie to do this if no one accepts them?

End of rant. I'll just have to leave out the CJ and Peerfly offers I suppose, until these folks deem me worthy. Pity, as everything flows so nicely in my free report as presently written.

BTW, yes, for those who might notice such things, I should have been further along than this by now. I am marching forward!! I have a few more articles to write and I will make the site visible again. I will then go from there.

Any other ideas, comments or suggestions?
