You guys can bash Azoogle all ya like, because thats what makes this forum great, but perhaps you're bashing them because you're a bigger idiot than you realize?
A lot of people when submitting their info to a network will type things in wrong without realizing it, and that can effect you being on their delayed list or being accepted right away. I can give a ton of examples but it won't change your mind because you think you're right and they are purposely not accepting you. Which actually may be the case considering they do manually approve or disapprove applicants. Can you blame them though? Do you have any idea how many affiliates apply to their network every damn day? They also have to manually approve because of retard affiliates who violated TOS without thinking about how it would effect the rest of the industry in the future. Combine all that negative shit into one big pile and if you owned Azoogle, you'd be doing the same damn thing for fraud and TOS protection.
Most networks nowadays do manual approvals because of the evergrowing and neverending issue of affiliate marketing fraud. The more affiliates don't follow the rules and think they are smarter or craftier than everyone else, the more strict and slower the process for being accepted will become. I used to do soooo much shady shit, so I won't pretend like this is all news to me. I've been banned and re-accepted to networks later on, but I learned my lesson, and also respect all of the networks that rely on manual affiliate approval because of things that dicks like me used to do that caused all of this!
So the next time you're submitting your info, just double check it to make sure you spelled things correctly (like your email addy or website), or that you put in the correct EIN/SSN, or any other little tidbit that may result in slowing things down due to it being your own damn fault.
