Commission Junction - How to Save My account from deactivation ?

[Harnur]

Few days ago i got a message from Commision junction, saying that my account would get deactivated if i don't make a sale in next 30 days.
But the thing with commission junction is that, it's almost IMPOSSIBLE to join a advertiser. 99% of the requests are declined and even if i send a personal email to the advertisers, they don't reply that either.

1. So, after all this, how could they expect us to make a sale ?
2. Why do they have to make it impossible to join a advertiser?
3. Is there any way through this problem?
4. Is my account destined to be deactivated?

After you posted this I went and checked my account since it has been forever since I used it and mine was deactivated due to dormancy. All I had to do to reactivate was accept T&Cs and check two other boxes and now I am back up and running for 6 months. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

On the topic of advertisers, I know there are advertisers on there that accept almost everyone but you have to dig down and find them and they might not be in your niche. Are you having success with other affiliate networks? If no, then you may need to look at your website and make sure that your niche is clear and the content is good quality. Another option is to try Viglinks which will automatically affiliate anything they have an account with which is a good way to affiliate with eBay and other affiliates that can be hard to get into (depending on your niche). I wouldn't hang my hat on CJ nor worry about it too much.. try Viglinks or dig deeper into CJ. Good luck!

Thank for answering..I blog about Human rights violation and animal cruelty..So there are only 5-6 niche advertisers i could link with..Sadly..none of them are accepting my application.

Were able to keep your account(for more than 6 months)...even without making any sale? How did you achieve that?
