I just got rejected by CJ, but don't know why.
Maybe you can help me by finding the reason.

The mail telling me the rejection included the following text:

Quote:
We regret to inform you that your application for a publisher account in the Commission Junction network has been denied due to ineligibility for membership.

Only bona fide business customers may apply and Commission Junction reserves the right to reject any application that does not meet reasonable Internet business standards, as such standards may evolve over time.


The site I wanted to apply as publisher was http://www.german-flag-history.com.

Maybe you know their reasons....I don't.

Where are you from? Some countries are restricted, but I can't imagine Germany is.

Have you thought about doing some design work on your site? As it stands now it looks like a personal site, not one designed from a professional or business standpoint.

Even a free web template is better than the layout you have now. Keep it simple, but make it professional looking.

I'm from Germany and I can't imagine that they restricted that Wink

I'll probably put some design on it in the next days, but that wasn't the reason why I got rejected, because I got my rejection instantly after applying (within seconds), so that I don't think there was any human control.

The only thing I thought about was having too many links at the index.html, but then they would have to reject many other affiliate pages, too, so I forgot that idea.

It must have something to do with how you answered the questions when you applied then. Anything there ring a bell?

You could always email them and ask why, may take a bit to get an answer but then you would know for sure.

I know the answer!
Had same problem.Applied with different sites,emails,etc. ... I have 8 sites,2 businesses,and more email addresses than I can count.
... it took several frustrating attempts,several emails,and finally a phone call,to find out the 'simple' answer.

are you ready ...
the form must be completely filled out, including a U.S. tax ID [ put a bunch of zeros there ]
you do NOT need to use a company name.

I suggested that they give their programmer a smack in the head,and tell him to fix it.
Obviously they didn't.

Your welcome.
Tom

Thanks Tom! Who would imagine a huge company like CJ would have a badly coded form? LOL

If you want to learn about stupid programmers, I have a post here (as a blog author):

http://blogs.ittoolbox.com/database/design/archives/000473.asp

We can mess up a lot as persons, but it takes a computer (programmer) to make a disaster...

That was my good deed for the day.
Now I can go back to being miserable. [I have a really wicked headache right now]

DatabaseDesigner
clicked your links [that makes 3 good deeds.Now I can be miserable until Tuesday.]
Clicked on a bunch of links on/in blog. Next thing you know,I was up to my neck in SAP.
Supper got cold while I tried to extract myself. Wink
[ insiders ( programmers) joke folks,so don't worry. reheated supper in microwave. ]

Must stop typing,before this thing times out on me. [ Wally are you listening. Wink ]

t49,

Hmm...

Must be your computer; I don't have any problems with that link, and we are talking about a trusted source here...

If others experience problems with that link, let me know. and I will flame that company Laughing Mad

nothing wrong with your link.
I got distracted by links to pages about SAP [ service access point ]
as to "up to my neck in SAP" ... I play with words.

as for remark to Wally:
if you log in to this forum,and take too long to post a post,the system logs you out and your post is credited to "guest".

Tom,
How long is "too long"? I may be able to arrange for the "waiting" time to be longer. It's a matter of referring it to the resident "guru", I hope, when he has some time. Meanwhile, I'll check my powers - sadly, I don't remember seeing that one authorised.

Cheers,
Wally - Moderator

How about keeping members logged in until they log out,or close browser?
I keep multiple browsers and tabs open,and like to check messages when taking a brain break [ i.e. goofing off ] . Keep forgetting to see if I'm still logged in before responding to posts.

Also,when I log in from a thread,system takes me back to the index,so I have to click the back button a couple of times.

why does forum set a cookie that expires as soon as it is set ???

Thanks,
Tom

Now I'm having the next problem.

How many numbers are "a bunch"?
I tried 8 zeros and 10 zeros and I don't want to type all the information in again and again just to figure out that it didn't work again.

Maybe you have another tipp for me.

9 digits, if it requires hyphens then do either of these:

00-0000000 or 000-00-0000
