I’m not bitter or anything just highly amused with who’s been accepting and rejecting my affiliate applications so I thought I’d post a few of my rejection emails.
And no links to cheap-ass stores selling crap made in third-world sweatshops for my visitors! Or was it something I fucking said? :p
i got turned down by google ads. apparently, they were none too impressed by my frequent use of profanity and mentioning of porn. i say, damn, they should just sell porn then!
ok, maybe not.
still, i thought it was kinda funny.
I’ve had a huge problem with the affliate program at Linkshare. (Yes, I was accepted with Oriental Trading…) I either couldn’t get the banners to work (I couldn’t even see them on the Linkshare site) or the links went to “Page not found.” I have seen the second problem at other sites (namely, Dizzie Girl’s Holiday Shoppe). And their customer service is lousey - no response to emails. So maybe it was a good thing that you weren’t accepted.
Ooh I love your site! Maybe it’s because you let us know of a NY Times article and give us the pass# just in case we are not a subscriber. Have to love you for that. Also have to love hedgehogs. They are cute. I used to play Sonic the Hedgehog a long time ago.
i’ll be back.
