Being from Canada, I pronounce niche "neesh", as opposed to "nitch". After saying "neesh" to a couple of American aff managers and getting "uhh.. what did you say?" as a response, I decided to be proactive and just say "nitch" to the next aff manager I talked to... which happened to be Neverblue.
I didn't really do much research into Neverblue before applying, I just filled out the form after hearing a few people say they were good to deal with.. so when I got the call from them the next morning, I made sure to say "nitch", and to mention I was looking for offers that I could promote "up here in Canada"... well the aff manager seemed a little confused at my comments, but I attributed that to either my less than coherent answers (they called at 8:30am, I had gone to bed sometime around 5...) or my questions about Canadian offers.
After I got off the phone with them, I looked at their contact page and felt pretty dumb..... all my Americanizing efforts were for naught. They're not only based in Canada, they're in the same city as me... just down the street from me!
Anyways, all embarrassment aside, they asked me about my website, traffic levels, my experience with affiliate marketing & internet marketing in general, what other aff networks I'm working with, what types of offers I'm interested in promoting, and how I would promote them. I don't recall if I was asked or if I volunteered the info, but I also discussed several other sites besides my main website that I would use for promoting offers. (I have 80+ domains)
My traffic estimates were total guesses, and I told them I was only working with CJ when they asked about other networks.. so if I can get accepted when I'm running on 3h sleep, when I made up some of the answers they asked for, and didn't even know they were calling from just down the street.... you should have no trouble getting accepted.
