Ok fuck it seems that Apple Store have set some certain rules to be automatically accepted into their affiliate programs. Does anyone know this? From what I know, it's probably a certain publisher location, or a publisher category. To those who got accepted if you don't know this kindly just state your location and category, I would be grateful.

I got automatically denied. Please help.

noone? help me out here guys.

I was denied also and I even have a computer store and an established website.

FL United States, and ya I have a semi active CJ account but was still denied.

I think that a lot of it is volume based. I got auto-denied for Oakley, but after pushing a lot of volume through CJ reapplied and was accepted. -e-

Some CJ affils I've had to call to get approved, didn't see that for apple though

I can't seem to find apple contact info. any idea?

stevejobs@apple.com

I was auto denied as well.. I could not find contact information even on their website (affiliate section)....Normally CJ lists email address and phone number of Affiliate Manager of the Company but for Apple Store this info is missing....

There's is just itunes.

I made it in that on the first try.. Just get some sort of revenue (regular monthly) with them and they will let you in...

has anyone tried skimlinks.com? They take a small cut of all your commissions, but they are already accepted on pretty much all affiliate networks. So if you get approved on skimlinks, you have easy access to all merchants, from one manageable account. Also, u just add some js code on your site, and it automatically converts a normal say amazon.com link to an affiliate link on the fly, so you can link direct to amazon and your users wouldn't see it as an affiliate link. I guess this is for lazy bloggers, but if you're having trouble getting accepted, try this route instead.

They are quite new but have about 5000 merchants from US and UK

skimlinks is very choosy as well

anyone can confirm if you can get into Apple Store via skimlinks ??

>> stevejobs@apple.com

if the program is managed by him directly,
i guess he will welcome smaller publishers as well.

What other sites are good alternatives to Apple Store ?

Don't sweat it, I have been really successful on CJ. Got my own developed website, good 3 month EPC, live in the US and Apple still denied me.

Same... Not too sure what they are after from CJ as a fair few of my contacts that have tried applying and have been denied...

turned down here too

Guys. Don't waste your time. As an Apple affiliate, I will not be promoting them anytime soon. No commission on iPod, iPad, or iPhone.

Has anything changed in this field of being or trying to be an Apple affiliate?

I have just been declined, generic message that they aren't accepting applications at the moment.

and you tough after 3 years worth to mention this ?

you get a whopping 2% haha so if you sell a $1500 Mac book, you get a whole $30!!! yay
