Rejected Again

A few weeks ago I posted a rant about waiting to be approved by an affiliate program before writing a product review. I was somewhat dejected that I had been declined as an affiliate after spending the time and effort to write a product review. Well, I've been rejected again, by Amazon; this time I'm not dejected. I'm PISSED OFF! Before you start saying, "Now wait a minute Tom. There's no guarantee that any program will accept you," I know that. Being declined is not why I'm upset. When I received the notice from Amazon, I politely responded by requesting that they tell me why. I got an evasive answer about company policies and how they had to think of the growth of the company and that their participants' sites had to reflect the highest standards, etc. They were sorry that they could not accept everyone. I asked again for more specific reasons such as if they thought there was something inappropriate on the site or if it was solely a matter of insufficient traffic. This time I received a response that might have been from someone higher on the food chain, but was no less evasive. And this time I was told that they would not be able to provide any further information. The only thing I hate worse than being given the runaround is being ignored, which is what they are now doing. Therefore, I'm angry!

I'll stop here. It seems like all I do in my blogs here is rant. I'm sorry about that. And I thank everyone for allowing it and listening. I sincerely hope all of you are having a better time of it than I am.
