First I'll say I'm a total newbie to affiliate marketing, and hope you guys can help me out a bit.

I've been denied by a few sites with affiliate programs, these sites were more green/alternative health/socially responsible types. When asked for a web site, I had to give them mine, which has nothing to do with the given topics. I wanted to promote them in a pdf, that was related, and stated that but was still denied.

I want to continue promoting affiliate programs in other ways besides my site. Most of these programs will not be green/ socially conscious types, but some may be.

Do I need to be careful with most "normal" affiliate programs, and have something they can see is related, or will most not care? If they are green/ socially conscious types, how do I do this when I have no site that is related?

Thanks for any help.
