Affiliate Programs and Networks!!!
Last few days, I try to understand the way how affiliate programs and networks work. I was applying for some programs and networks and adding them to my published post on my website. Some of them have already been mentioned in the posts and thank god they instantly approve my application, but some are rejecting me.
Ok, I understand maybe my site is not super ready but it's on and rolling, if it is not now then when?! I am working on it 24/7 ;) I mean, really trying to edit and re-edit all my posts every time some new idea comes to my mind, to make them more attractive and acceptable. And then in one day, I've got 3 mail like this and similar :
Thank you for applying to XX affiliate program; unfortunately, your application was declined.
This happens for a couple reasons:
- You have a deal / coupon site. We do not accept these sites in our program.
- Your site link was broken.
- I'll need more information about how you're planning to promote, including the URL where your link or banner will be visible.
- Your site doesn't quite fit with our product or is unrelated. If you think this is a mistake, then please reply and let us know.
Thanks!

1. Deal/Coupon site? - what does it means
2. More info about how I plan to promote them? I've already filled out the form when I apply to their program, where I write down the way of promotion and strategies in future.
3. Your site link was broken? (c'mon seriously =)
And for the End
How Jim Morrison sings in his song: "This is the end my only friend, the end..."
Wish you all a good day and don't be discouraged because things like this, out there exist millions of them who need us to promote their products.
New day, new luck!
Cheers,
