I know you might be thinking I’m just trying to sign up to save a few bucks for the laptop I’m going to buy soon, but come on Dell! Does this blog fit any of the “unsuitable site” criteria you emailed me? Italicized comments are mine.
Dear Marc Hil Macalua:
We regret to inform you that Dell Home Systems has chosen not to accept you into their affiliate program at this time. We reserve the right to reject your application if we determine your site is unsuitable. An unsuitable site includes, but is not limited to:
- Sites that are unavailable or are under construction
- Aesthetically unpleasing sites - come on now :) if this is the reason, then I’ll apply again as soon as Lukaret the CSS guru has finished her piece de resistance!
- Sites that do not contain computer or electronics category - ok guilty here!
- Sites with hate/violent/offensive content - I’m like Gandhi! I do no hate!
- Sites containing sexually explicit materials - Yes I got a picture of Diana Zubiri so what?
- Sites promoting alcoholic beverages or excessive drinking/drug use
- Sites promoting discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age
- Sites that promote violence or illegal activities
- Sites containing extreme religious content - I wonder what qualifies as “extreme” and “religious”
- Gambling or lottery sites
- Political sites that endorse one party or extreme political sites
- Sites containing Dell or Dell derivations in the url
- Sites that misrepresent themselves as Dell by co-opting the visual “look and feel” of the Dell site
