CJ, LinkShare, FlexOffers are all pretty expensive for advertisers, and don't give much 'juice' for affiliates. 

 

ANNOUNCEMENT! . . . 

 

Yakezie.com now has their own network, YakezieNetwork.com (sign up if you haven't already done so)

 

The goal of this network was to help save you time from finding the 'right' offers, or contacts for particular offers and provide you with the top performing, highest paying offers available today. I'm leveraging my contacts and experience to bring on the offers direct. 

 

I'm also here to help you with anything you need: content ideas, strategy, linking, etc. My expertise in this space will help in all ways possible and you'll be making money (or more money) in no time!

Seems really hard to choose from which ones to primarily promote since there are so many

Sometimes it's due to things out of your control ... for example I live in NY state, notorious for high business taxes, so some affiliates will not approve me no matter how good my #'s are because they would have to pay too much in taxes.  

Have you tried emailing the affiliate to see why you got rejected?  Usually theres a contact on the affiliate's CJ page.

I was accepted to a few, but denied to some of the ones I was most excited about.  I figure it has to be site layout or traffic... and I sure hope there isn't something wrong with my site.

TextLinkAds.com is also the best place to sell small text links.

They have some finance affiliates but you have to apply for each 'link' and I was only approved for prosper.com which hasn't paid off.

Got some more cards now and went thru ncsreporting for that, but they typically only give Discover first.

Thanks!
