What gets rejected: Programs paying under 30%. Pyramid-style multi-tier referral schemes. Anything promising 7-figure incomes from low-ticket products. Programs that bait affiliates with fake commission rates and bury the real terms in fine print. I read your site before I list it. If your shit's bogus, I'll tell you.
