    Has anyone received any revenue for advertising CJ products on Facebook? I tried and got like a 100 clicks but no conversions. Am i doing something wrong?

    I have tried Facebook but no Success at all, I think because people are not really looking towards anything and just randomly clicking random stuff. Compared using PPC or SEO people are directly looking for something right with the "Keywords" however I did notice stuff like Samples, Ebook, etc Clickbank Products work quite well with Facebook. My 2cents =)

    I made about $3 per day on myspace with little or no effort. You probably won't make much by posting links on your facebook itself. Check and see if there is a group / special section on facebook that your links would be better suited.

    Besides it's against CJ's rules to post affiliate links on sites you don't own unless they allow them.

    Oh really? Have you actually received permission to use your landing page like that? Or have you just been with CJ long enough that they don't ask questions any more?

    What CJ told ME was that if I'm going to promote a landing page on a 3rd party site, then the page's soul purpose can't be simply to direct traffic to the advertiser. If I understood them correctly. Mind giving me some advice with this?

    Facebook sucks to advertise! No luck with every campaign I've ran on Facebook. Stick with Google & Yahoo.

    What are you guys selling on facebook? I would imagine if you are getting paid by lead, and the offer appeals to teens, then you should be fine.

    well i tend to agree with u all...i guess facebook is more for branding and such and not for affiliate marketing, however i do know (i have an account manger at facebook) that there are people who making money from affiliate marketing there.

    I myself am still testing it and i have promoted a CJ product there...made two sales $112..but spended much more than double on the advertising...that is what test is all about i guess.

    still trying to crack it...:)

    Google will still rule over Facebook. People in Facebook are there to socialize. People using Google are in the mood of buying.
