It happens to the best of us, I blogged about an affiliate program I got denied by the other day.

It is often times not because they are specifically denying you, often times it is poor management or the fact that they don't have adequate resources in place to handle the review process.

Like in anything else, companies like to see a track record it’s not uncommon to get rejected, especially when you’re just starting out. You’ll find it easier to get accepted as you get more established. The same thing happened to me.

Thank you for letting others know that it is possible. Closed doors do not mean that that is the only door or with determination it can be open later down the road with minor adjustments.

It happen to me the first time with Amazon, but being an Affiliate now with them is just proof that you should never give up as you mentioned.. Thank you.
