Hi folks, I have been using CJ for last 2 years and constantly earning $1500 or more for more then a year. All of sudden out of blue i received account termination notice, when i checked for compliance i noticed i received email in CJ INBOX to remove outdated link for one of the Advertiser, usually i receive emails on my gmail address but this time it was in CJ INBOX which i check once in a month. I realized the email was sitting there for updating links and to respond in 48 hours. This sounds crazy , i am feeling outrageous, for just one mistake my account will be banned. Some Questions : If my account is closed can i open new account , is that allowed. I am wondering it must be tied with SSN or Is it websites. Can i use new website to create a new account ????? please advise ? CAUTION: to newbies just don't rely on CJ , use other networks if in case your account gets banned you will not stop earning . Remember always build redundant sites with multiple networks.
me too my account was closed by CJ 2 years ago and i earn $2500 i dont know why they close my account, i make new website and re-register and i earn $500 / month
If I were you then I will not go for CJ again. I simply can not afford to rely on a network again who forfeited the amount that I could not afford to lose. Thanks
I recieved an email also today July 1st, saying my account was not making any sales lately and it would be terminated. They were basically saying to start making sales or else. I have used them for at least 5 years now and can't help it if people won't buy anything! Good grief! They can kiss my ass. I have two pages of affiliate companies that I advertise for and have 67 websites I use and separate my products I am advertising and only add banners or text relevent to what I am pushing. If they delete my account, I'll go somewhere else. Don't know if that will help because people just don't buy much from websites I guess and I won't use paid advertising to try to make a buck and end up spending 5 bucks to get the dollar commission by using adwords or anything else. Just free SE traffic for me. If my sites don't make a sale, I'll just close down the site and find something else to do.
That's not the only issue. A friend of mine, who runs a local computer service business, refers orders for parts to customers through his website. He was using CJ affiliates and he knows for a fact that there were numerous transactions he was not getting credit for. When confronted, they just blamed the affiliates - but he did some careful testing (as well as contacted the afilliate directly) and determined the affiliate was not the problem. I don't know all the details because he is deciding what to do about it, but I have read things elsewhere that support his story. He just uses Amazon now - no problems at all.
CJ does not close accounts with money held in them for no apparent reason. If for some reason they did - call their support line. This is not their business model.
