Trouble getting approval for affiliate networks?
Posted by MelvinJan 21
I want to talk a little about getting your application approved on the major affiliate networks. Today, I was answering a flurry of phone calls as all the affiliate networks decided to call me one after the other about my application. It took them a week to call me since putting in my application. Neverblue did it in less than 24-hours.
One thing is for sure, you do not need an existing suitable content website to get approved. I told each and every affiliate manager calling me that I did not have a website to promote their offers. My goal was to promote their offers using PPC either through the major search networks (i.e. Google) or through social networking PPC (i.e. Facebook) with customized landing pages. I also gave them the impression that I knew what I’m talking about and that CPA affiliate networking is not new business to me. That gave these managers enough confidence to approve me on the spot.
Remember, the goal of the approval process is to weed out the spammers and scammers that join the network and use blackhat techniques to promote offers. They also do not want people who are just going to play around and try things out. If you want to be approved, please spend a few hours reading and know your shit. You need to be able to speak affiliate marketing lingo and know what your goals are short-term and long-term. If you can do both of these, you will get approved without having a quality content website to promote your offers.
Any idiot should be able to get approval. That’s my $0.02.

Hey Mel, what about Hostpapa.com? It’s canadian & charges CAD…
Hostpapa.com is okay. It is 1/2 the price I pay for Hostgator, but you are limited to 100 MySQL databases only. I get unlimited with Hostgator.
I will appreciate if you provide more details on this. Thanks.
What detail do you need that’s not already covered by my post?
