Make sure your ticket has a detailed description of your traffic source and how you are going to promote the program. If possible, provide screenshots of stats reflecting your performance with similar programs.
A support agent will convey all the information you provided to the advertiser's manager. After that, your application will be reviewed scrupulously. Keep in mind that reconsideration cannot guarantee acceptance. Anyway, it is the advertiser who makes a decision on whether to connect your ad space to the program.
How can I improve my chances?
Leverage the following recommendations to boost your chances of getting your ad space connected to the desired program:
1. Read program rules and descriptions carefully.
Only join those programs that allow the traffic you provide and whose regions match your ad space's region.
2. Only go with programs that are relevant to your ad space.
Before joining, take time to assess whether your audience will be interested in a specific product you are going to promote.
For instance, if your ad space is a Facebook community for young mothers, building tools will be unlikely to spark your users' interest.
3. Tell as much about your traffic source as you can.
When joining a program, indicate the following in the field "How will you promote the affiliate program?":
- how you plan to promote the program and its products and/or services (banners, native-ad posts, etc.)
- traffic sources you are going to use
- if possible, provide some screenshots of stats reflecting your performance with similar programs
The more information you provide, the higher the chances that the advertiser will accept your join request.
4. Grow your ad space.
Publish noteworthy content, try new ad formats, test-drive various products and presentation methods. Not only can it expand your audience and boost your chances of joining programs, but it also will improve traffic quality and thus let you earn more.
5. Enhance your ad space design.
Most advertisers care too much about their brand image. In view of this, they prefer esthetically appealing, flawless-layout, and friendly-interface ad spaces.
