CJ just treat you like a robot and just because they can't convert your traffic to sales with their fake EPC creatives, they just change your outstanding commission which you earned to zero and expire you like you never existed even when you drove them many many thousands of leads and made them a ton of money in the past. Folks, what ever you do, avoid these people that treat their affiliates like a piece of dirt and follow eBay's example and avoid these scammers.
They display these green bars by the banners that claim that you will make X dollars per click and you never make anything like they claim. Even when you send them 1000's of targeted visitors (because they clicked the creatives) you don't make any sales. We webmasters waste our time copying and pasting their javascript code to our sites and make hardly any sales. They are lying about the conversion rate of nearly all of their offers IMHO possibly by a factor of 10 or more!
A couple of years ago they had an affiliate discussion forum which they suddenly terminated. They don't give a stuff for affiliates, so avoid them at all costs. The talk of the affiliate community is that their payouts are low compared to other programs too. Translated, this means that you cannot make a profit from them.
You may have made money in the past from CJ.com but you will waste your time with them now IMHO. I read all over the affiliate blogs that CJ pay is no good and since they were dumped by eBay, why not dump them too and go with affiliate marketing companies that don't treat you like a machine? |

LOL, well myself, I have made a few dollars with them, but I must admit that I have made more with other affiliate networks!! Their customer service is ok, but the last few times I've tried to contact them about advertisers not crediting, I haven't heard anything!! Quite a few of their advertisers reverse like crazy and I can't stand it. It's nerve wrecking to see I made x amount of dollars and because of a few leads not converting over when they clearly say it's ok, I end up with way less than 10% of what was made; that's outrageous!!
So, I only market a few adverts from cj, n that's only until they stop crediting! I understand what you're saying totally, but until they totally stop paying me, I'll work it!!

It's funny how things work. I consistently make a couple hundred a month from Amazon but seem stuck at 30-40 a month at CJ. I like the products at CJ but do find it a little tedious to get around their site.
sorry, havent been on here in a while.. just saw your reply. Thats funny how our revenues are complete opposites..Thats pretty good for amazon. You just do Ads or A-Stores? |
