First off, when doing an offer, you don't have to complete every partner's ad or fill in every page that you come to. That would take forever, even with RoboForm. There's almost always a button on the page that says "skip" or "no thanks". It's usually at the bottom, but is occasionally at the top of the page. Sometimes it's almost hidden or in an unlikely area, so you have to look for it.
When presented with a long list of yes/no offers that don't have a skip button at the bottom, if you answer no to all of them you'll usually get a message that reads "you must select at least one of our partner's great offers to continue". Select one and a registration form will pop up, and that form will have a skip button on it.
Some offers won't approve no matter what you do. You're bound to run into some offers submitted by crooked advertisers that are going to do anything they can to keep from paying up. Every crook and hustler in the world is working online now, trying to turn a buck. But, even crooks have to stay somewhat within the boundaries of the law, or they won't stay in business very long. Then, some advertisers are completely honest, probably too honest for their own good, leaving themselves open to being taken advantage of themselves. Most fall somewhere in between.
There's not much you can do about other peoples' character flaws, but there's a lot you can do to greatly increase your chances of getting offers approved.
A lot of 100% free offers have ads , usually at the end, silver,gold and platinum ads, where every one of them does cost money: s&h or whatever. Once you reach these ads you're done and can close the window. Sometimes they put the silver offer on the first page. Just close it and continue with the offer. Most offers, toward the end, will have a page that says "Congratulations, you've completed the survey! Now take a look...", or something along those lines. No need to go further, you're done and can close. If an offer is listed as 100% free, you're not required to spend a penny to get paid, or else somebodies breaking the law.
Clean your cookies. Adjust your privacy settings to accept cookies, then delete them between every offer. Either do it through your control panel- Internet options, or download "ccleaner" or something similar and do it with one click.
Disable pop-up blockers and your firewall. I know it sounds risky, but these advertisers don't want to infect you with a virus, they just want to sell you something, and you don't want anything to prevent their cookies from being accepted.
Use Internet Explorer. A lot of these sites, especially the newer ones, won't even accept AOL or Netscape. And of the ones that do, some of the advertisers within the sites only accept IE or Firefox or Safari. IE is probably the most widely accepted browser by everyone.
Give the pages time to fully load before clicking "no", or "skip", or "next page". Give it a chance to register that you were there. When you reach the "Thank you" or "Congratulations" page, linger there for a few moments before closing to ensure that they have you registered.
Say "yes" to a couple of the affiliate offers. If you say "no" to everything, then the advertiser's losing money. If you say "yes" to one or two of the free partner's ads, and complete the forms, then you'll get paid, the advertiser will get paid by their partner, and everybody is happy. Except maybe the partner. Sign up for an offer that costs something, if you see one you like, and then they're happy, too. But that's not required to complete the terms for 100% free offers.
Also, if I'm asked for credit card information, I don't consider that to be a "free" offer, but they will usually approve if you're willing to take the chance. Same with the credit and loan companies that require an s.s.#.
Very often the same advertiser will have several different offers posted at the same time. It's perfectly fine to do them, but it's a good idea to only do a few at a time, until they clear, and to use a different email address after each one. And definitely clean the cookies between offers!
