this morning i was looking my arrived new email, there she goes blink blink…from Chitika, Inc. - Turning Page Views into Profits with their eMiniMalls program that it might be perfect who has social network at outside indonesian country specially country like the following countries: USA, Canada, UK, France, Sweden, Germany, Denmark, Australia, New Zealand, Belgium, Italy, Netherlands, and Spain.maybe most advertiser at Chitika from that country.

Perhaps this give me new experienced to give more attention that i should grow my social networking, so other people from that country mentioned above could give a “peak” into my blog site and perhaps more advertiser interest put their ads, so i can make money online, just another online jobs home, or increasing my another salary at office.

Here their reason pending my application :

dear iwan yulianto,

Based on our experience, we have found that our eMiniMalls program works best with (but not limited to) websites that are predominantly in English
………………….
………………….
Since it looks like most of your traffic comes from outside of these regions, it is likely that you will not see a good performance with Chitika ads. For these reasons, we must deny your request for a Chitika account at this time.

according this reason : that my site even have indonesian and english language, i still have a chance to be their affiliate member. But because my traffic not comes from USA, Canada, UK, France, Sweden, Germany, Denmark, Australia, New Zealand, Belgium, Italy, Netherlands, and Spain thats why i have pending / rejected application

well another hard work from me ..yihaaaaaaa ok bro semangat..semangattttt…..

sedih dah hari ini pagi -pagi buka email dah kena “sial” dari TEXT LINK ADS gimana gak bingung , sekali dikasih komentar dari email TLA ternyata ada beberapa aspek yang harus dipenuhi , berikut cuplikan emailnya

ps: mas, mbak para master TLA apa aja nih yang iwan harus perbaiki biar cepet masuk lamarannya biar bisa nampilin adsnya TEXT LINK ADS

asdas
