Affiliate Junktion

[donrock]

Has anybody had any experience with Affiliate Junktion, good or bad? They keep emailing me with an offer that sounds good but I'm a little sceptical.

I think they are rather new as I have only just heard of them.

[dixirdotcom]

Never heard of it and you might need to do some more investigating. someone's earning $19k a month supposedly when I checked it out today...What you need to ask them is how many people are using the program and what percentage of them are making that figure. That will answer your question real quick.

[donrock]

John269,

Yes they are new I guess. I posted on another forum and got a lot of both good and bad reviews.

Don

dixirdotcom,

Not being able to communicate with them is what bugs me the most. If I ever get to them I ask them what you suggested. On another forum the only person out of 12-15 replies that said he had made anything claimed a little over $6,000. All the others were still waiting to get paid or started or something.
I guesss they do affiliate marketing which I like so I guess I'll keep checking them out.

Thanks,
Don

Yes it sounds a little sketchy donrock, and then you need to ask if the forum that they posted on was from a legit member or a rep from their company trying to make thinigs look legit. Who knows, but I don't think I'll be trying them....

They do pay out commissions. I have received commission payments from these guys and appearantly some other people as well. A good review site is at http://affiliatejunktionreview.com or at http://affiliate-junktion.blogspot.com/ These guys are earning quite good money, about $300-$400+ per day. Not bad for affiliate marketing. It does take about 2 days to get support but hey, that's okay as long as we are earning money right? :)

I have a feeling AJ is just about selling hosting. Everyone who signs up HAS to buy new hosting (from a company they've chosen) to get a username and password. Its a nifty way to promote hosting, I've got to say.

I can't imagine how they (AJ and the hosting company) can make any money at all, so I think its just a scam. They pay $2 per lead, and for everyone who signs up they say they'll cover your hosting expenses for a year ( $75 ). And that's all theres to it, no promoting anything else, just promoting AJ (and their hosting parter/company). Anyone with a little bit of math skills (or common sense) can see that this is a equation which will make AJ loose money. Its not gold just because it shines. Its too good to be true.

Just my 2 cents.

[Albert Fisher]

Well, I gotta say.. this is probably one of the few programs where you can actually earn money online. And quite a good income as well. Do your research and you will find lots of people that have been paid by affiliate junktion. Ive had 3 payments so far and theyve always been accurate and on time with their commission payments. What have you got to lose? Nothing! Come on guys, start earning online!!

[experienceadvertising]

Looks like a gimicky concept be could work...Im sure it all depends on the effort you ultimately put into it...but affiliate marketing is that way in general...

[londam]

As far as I'm concerned, they are SCAM.

I've registered with their hosting company in middle of December and since then I try to send them my mail received from the hosting company and each time (10 times I did this) I send them a query about my registration they send me message that their server is down and to resend my message again. :mad:

I gave up upon them.

I gotta say, VERY dissapointed.

[emphi]

The reason I find this offer hard to believe is legit is because I just don't understand how AJ can make a profit here. As far as I know all you promote is AJ itself, and they seem to pay pretty decent per lead. The only thing you have to buy to join AJ is a year of hosting, which AJ claims that they'll pay you back. This means that per sign up they have to pay out $2 + $75 = $77. And what does AJ earn per sign up? Nothing. Nobody gives away money for free.

So for those of you who actually trust AJ to be legit - explain to me how they can give away $77 per signup and not sell a damn thing!

[redspace]

AJ business is as hosting affiliate. They got USD100 for every hosting sign up. what they do is they are offering bonus to you from the commission they will get when you sign up under them. The cost of 1 year hosting is less than USD70 yearly. so they make USD30 by giving away 1 year hosting. but you need to have that money first before getting the free 1 year of hosting.

[Albert Fisher]

They sell other products as well, not just the hosting. I think they work with various merchants on their network. Sometimes its good to not thing too much about how something works, as long as it works and we get paid right?! Quite a few people have been paid by this network, take a look at this other forum affiliatejunktionreview.wordpress.com and you will see many affiliates did get paid. I guess they make money from their merchants and thats how they can pay their affiliates.

[Albert Fisher]

Sorry, I meant " Sometimes it's good not to think too much about how something workds..."

[Albert Fisher]

Londam; They had a server down back in December, that is quite some time ago.. Have you tried recently to send your email?

[Albert Fisher]

I completely agree! It's like that with anything in life isn't it? "Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right!"

[vjlenin]

they are no scam, as this blogger here said, but they are not going to help you make any money at all, this guy actually signedup for the program, and in the end , what they asked him to do is to sign up for google adwords program and yahoo advertising to promote his site and affiliate link that's what aj does, nothing more, it should be avoided, your money will go out to oblivion unless.

[wokaka]

Bah...the website looks quite doubtful. They sell dream. The bloggers that someone mentioned here earlier are just the affiliates. Sux.

[Albert Fisher]

Just believe what ever you want to believe guys. At least some of us are earning some money online..

[Albert Fisher]

Good luck to all! :)

yes, i sent them email yesterday from gmail acc, and i hope that i'll be more lucky this time... will keep you posted

Albert.. Wake up! This is the internet - there are tons of scam artists who'd love to steal your money. We HAVE to be skeptic about such offers or we'd get scammed time after time. On the internet it's every man for himself. Nobody's going to watch your back - unless you pay them to. There is no such thing as doing things for free - everything that's worth something has a prize.

Your "sources" are a blog, one blog. Thats not enough to convince me something is legit. It may very well be the folks behind AJ that set up that blog there. Heck, you may even be paid by AJ to be an internet troll here at dp. The thing is - one mans word on the internet is not worth shit to me. It would be easy for me ALONE to create an affiliate program like AJ, promote it, make a couple of blogs saying its a legit program and create a couple of profiles at public forums like dp and secretly promote my program by discussing it with other people and telling them "I get paid, and I know others who get paid. Therefore it has to be legit.". See where I am going? AJ could be the work of a few scam artists joining forces.

I am not saying its anything wrong about trying out new affiliate programs - but when they force you to buy their products (even if they say they'll pay it back to you) then your taking a risk. It may go either ways, it may be a scam or it may not be. Point is, there are plenty of legit affiliate programs out there who anyone can join for free without buying their (or anyones elses) products. It's all about not taking too many risks - I can't afford to throw $75 out of the window. But if you can afford that, fine. Your loss (or win). I'd rather earn money the safe way.

[Albert Fisher]

Just believe whatever you choose to believe. There is not just one review on these guys but TONS!! I'm getting paid and am earning more money with Affiliate Junktion then I did with any of my other professions. That's enough proof for me to know that this DOES work. Good luck with your online ventures Emphi!

[tekno_boy]

I'm not going to believe you Albert Fisher.... (my guess is that YOU are Afiliate Junktion)

I joined and got burnt big time. All payments are in New Zealand dollars. You only get paid when you have $150 or more in commissions, but it cost more to advertise than you get in commission (because commissions are in New Zealand dollars and advertising with google is US$). The conversion rate they advertise is an outright lie.

As a rule, don't join any affiliate scheme with no product (or where sale of a product is not the purpose).

I blogged my experience completely, from start to unhappy finish.

The summary is here (you'll need to ad the 'h' at the front, I'm a new member just wanting to help, but can't include links - I don't care if people visit my blog):

Hello! If you wanna see my paycheck of affiliate junktion you can go on My Blog in signature.

The real fact is that you will spend less money and make it more if you know how to advertise as less as 0.05$-0.06$ PC if you don`t know how to do it. I suggest you to get involved with something else.

So I clicked the link, and it says "blog not found". Rather suspicious.

maybe there was a typo or spelling error in the link ...:confused:

[tekno_boy]

We'll I'm sorry Albert Fisher and everyone else. I'm a hypocrite.

I've been telling people how I got burned and thought Affiliate Junktion was a scam (http://teknoboy.blogspot.com/2007/11/affiliate-junkion-scam-or-truth-real.html) and then something happened....

I started making money with it. I got some advice on my blog and followed it and now things are different.

Yes, thats right the person who has been posting advice about how it doesn't work, is now making it work.

My blog on Affiliate Junktion is here (http://teknoboy.blogspot.com/):


I will say this, I am not due to be paid until the end of this month and can expect the cheque to take about two weeks to arrive (so wont get here until mid July), but you can bet I will tell you if I get paid or not.

My comments are all genuine from my own perspective, sorry if they put anyone off. At least it shows that you need to learn a bit about online advertising and website promotion to make it work and if you think you can't handle that, then maybe its not for you.

I will say this, in the end it was quite easy and I did achieve the advertised NZ$150 per day in about a month once I worked it out (I explain how I did it at my blog).

[TheVccMatey]

Thats awesome.. I'll make it there someday

[loverprinc]

Try again :)

Its a pretty empty program that just flogs it hosting with iPower. The iPower Affiliate programpays $110 so AJ is just passing on $75 of that commission other than that seems pretty small of the offereings.
