I am unable to get Google Affiliate Network publisher account

[dentistology]

Google seems to reject my application everytime i apply for Google Affiliate Network publisher. i would want to get approved by google as i have some promising sites.

Does anyone have a way around to get approved for this account?

Did they give a reason? And have you applied for and been accepted for Adsense?

[dentistology]

yes, i am using adsense for an year now. They dint give any reason as such.

There must be some way to make google accept my application.

You might want to apply backed by one of their merchants. Approach the merchant you'd like to promote and ask them to shoot a note to GAN.

Any other way around this? I am sure just like how we have for adsense where you create a page on googlepages and submit you get through, there must be a way for affiliate program also.

[AdSenseAdvisor]

Google Affiliate Network is a separate program with a separate application process from AdSense. They're specifically looking for sites that are a good fit for their program.

I encourage you to check out the article in their help center called "Is Google Affiliate Network right for me?" [google.com] for more guidance.

ASA If you can answer yes to all those you can still be rejected for inexplicable reasons.

I can only assume they want sites devoted to affiliate marketing and not information sites which also happen to promote affiliate products and use AdSense as well.

I have a GAN account and I think the site I would have referenced in any application of such a thing fully fell in the "information sites which also happen to promote affiliate products and use AdSense as well" category.

Not that I'm all that thrilled with the offers they have so far, but the good thing is that they add a lot of offers every time you get the newsletter.

Well I only came across GAN when I applied to an ideal merchant for my genre and was referred to GAN.

Oh well.
