Today I sent my application to join an affiliate program. With one of my sites, where I wanted to put up some topic related links, banners and stuffs… you kno, like figuring out.. maybe trying to make some bucks here there…
I filled in the form, where they asked, what kind of promotion I am planning to use. I wrote: search engine traffic to my blog, people come, read what I have to say about that topic or product, and if they like it, they go to see it on the store-s site, if not, they go away. Nothing forced, nothing aggressive.
So after sending the application, waited for a few hours. I got back a letter, saying that I wasn’t accepted. Between the reasons, I have fully “normal” reasons, and I accept them without any comment. They don’t like that site, so be it.
But this one made me laugh:
“Sole use of PPC or SEO to promote our stores/products”
No I am not using PPC. Not going to pay, it doesn’t worth that much to me. I am just using my imagination, write there about what I want. And not even optimizing it for SE. So it is so called ORGANIC SEARCH ENGINE TRAFFIC that is on THAT site.. And they don’t want it? That must be really silly :D :D :D
Well :)))) Be my guest than, there will be surely other affiliate programs who will like this kind of traffic :D Hmm really made my day, it made me laugh…
Silly silly reason not to accept an affiliate. This particular one. :D
