Bizarrely I was turned down today for an affiliate account with Dixons for use on my digital entertainment site. The reason I found it bizarre is that I already have am affiliate partnership with Dixons for exactly the same site. Now it might sound strange that I would want two but the one I have is for the price finder facility on the site and the profit is shared with another company. So I wanted one of my own for other promotions.
I always find it strange that a company would turn down a website for affiliation unless that website is clearly offensive, illegal or represent a bad image in some way. How will that company know if the site is going to make them any more money if they don’t even give the site a chance.
I think I will email the affiliate company and see if they can tell me why I was rejected, just for my own curiosity if nothing else.
My blog is mainly about programming in .Net 2, website promotion and affiliate marketing although I do have the odd ramble on about anything that comes to mind.
