The Struggling Blogger

Yet again, this blog has been disapproved as an affiliate by one of those who paid bloggers for blogging about their advertisers. Too much struggles… being true to its name. Oh well, I can always try again… and look somewhere else.

But I’m blogging about it cause some reasons for rejection are quite puzzling to me.

1. Blog is too new and has poor stats, including little traffic and/or links.
I guess, three months is relatively new as far as blogging is concern. Too little traffic and links… too techie for me… got to work on that traffice though.

2. Blog has too much paid content and does not meet our 2:1 ratio rule.
Too much paid content?! I would be the happiest is such is true. None of the post in this blog has been paid or sponsored! I wonder where did they get that? Just because I placed some link on some bloggers doesn’t mean they paid me, how I wish they would. And those blogs about movies weren’t paid either, so where did that ‘too much paid content’ came from?

3. Blog was over-priced based on its stats and our suggested price.
Now, now… the suggested price came from them. Of course I would choose their maximum suggestion. Who’s fault was it then?

4. Blog is written in a foreign language and does not follow guidelines on how to properly submit.
Is English is still a foreign language to many? Last time I checked, all the post here are in English. There was one post regarding the promotion of my native language… but it was also written in English! Besides, I have a dedicated blog for my own native tounge! Now tell me, is English a foreign language? By their connotation here, foreign seems to mean it could not be understood. You’re reading this, that must mean you understand English.

Well, as they always say, it ‘management’s prerogative’. Anyway, I was informed that my blog would be reviewed again after 90 days to see if already qualified. I guess by then, this blog would be old enough and perhaps have generated the required traffic for them to approve it.

But until then… I’ll just continue blogging.
