Post subject: CJ auto-declines: what's that about?
|
 |
|
I'm fairly new to CJ but a few times I find that merchants decline my applications for reasons that are totally opaque to me.
Today, I applied to promote two UK credit card programs (I'm in the US, if it matters) and was automatically declined both times.
Is this common?

Yes, merchants set their own terms on the sites they will approve ... common factors merchants use to auto decline include:
low traffic count (based upon info you submit usually --- although they can check it later)
site not geo-targeted in either content or location
you aren't in the "right" category or subcategories they want to target (you select your category and subcategories) This is a common reason for auto declines I've found. Since then, I've set mine to be quite broad.
Hope this helps,
Debs

Thanks, Debs ... I feel a broadening coming on. 
It's seems silly, especially with so many people promoting via AdWords.

You can also contact the merchants who "auto-declined" you directly and ask them why, and ask them to reconsider ... include a paragraph on why you feel your site meets their needs 
I did this with one merchant I really wanted to promote and found out my traffic was too low ... once it jumped a bit, I emailed back and got approved right away!
