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.

Matthew,
Affiliate programs are kindda tricky. You have to really research what you want to promote and then see if there is a need and then after you do that you are going to need to do some research on the company that you are joining. Here are a couple of things to ask to yourself when you are researching your company that you are thinking about joining:
1. How long have they been online and in business?
2. How often do they pay their affiliates and have they always been on
on time?
3. Will they give you a sample product to see/use in order to promote it?
(by this I mean that if they are willing to give a demo or such they are
willing to invest in your promotions)
4. Does their landing page draw you in to make a purchase?
These are just a couple of examples of questions to ask....Also some more advice for you is no matter what you are trying to promote online make sure to always gear the individuals which you are leading to another company's product to sign their information (name and email) away to you so that you can build a list as well.
I hope this helps you out.
Sincerely,
