Agencies Closed Shop for hot offers

Yeah, I seem to be constantly running into the same problem. Whenever I apply to run some educational and e-cig trials agencies refuse me streight away, although I am only doing pure white hat things like SEO and media buying.

One agent wanted me to do edu offer, but than he came back to me and told me that offer was capped and that they are not taking any new traffic.

Does it happen to other affiliates, that when you find something that will actually be really hot, you only find that agencies closed shop to themselves?

Money be green.

Only thing you can do is move on

Unfortunately affiliates have zero power...so there is nothing you can do.

This is where you reach out to the advertisers and work a deal with them directly.

@erdini @flaw3d: thanks,

Yeah, its just a crooked system. Basically, agencies use affiliates to find profitable sources of traffic and push affs. out. I've been told so many times "You haven't told us enough details about your traffic methods". Like I am going to burn my money on testing for no reward, so that they can jump me and scoop up the profits.

Luckily I found on this forum some .edu advertisers. WickedFire is a really productive place. It even pays tolerating abuse from "Smart Alec's"
