    What makes CJ so good and actually better than cb or ebay and many others?
    Why should I choose CJ?
    I haven't been convinced so far, but would love to be convinced if there are good reasons for it. Give it your best shot.

    Yeah, I would like to know too. Hopefully afterthis there will be others who already get steady income from CJ will elaborate more (counter) on those disadvantages. Then, other readers (forumers) will get the benefit of comparison.

    I also very recently started using CJ so it would be great to know the drawbacks of using it :)

    It's fine apart from possibly being the most unusable system ever created.

    Except the frequent maintenance, CJ is fantastic. There aren't many networks that let you work with so much of the world's big brand names.

    Work well with CJ, and you'll reap the rewards. Promised.

    CJ's reporting can be a bit slow at times.

    Would you mind explaining "frequent maintenance", please? What does it consist of?

    CJ doesn't make the advertiser perpay the commissions generated by publishers. So the catch is that if the advertiser doesn't pay CJ, CJ won't pay you. Can you believe that? Do I need to say any more drawbacks? You put your hard work to earn commissions and at the end of the day you don't have it. IF the advertiser don't pay CJ the commission will remain Locked forever. I have $495 Locked commission from Ashley Madison before the left CJ. Obviously they didn't pay and CJ did nothing.

    This proves how much blindfolded CJ is towards the advertisers. Also advertisers has the ability to reverse sales/leads if they want it. Without any explanation. If you contact CJ, they will say that advertiser decision is final. And most advertisers don't really bother to respond when you contact them.

    I would advice you guys to work with COPEAC and Azoogle. Cause they try to work for both parties(publishers and advertisers) interest.

    Good Luck to both of you. :)


    Frequent maintenance means CJ does site and server maintenance frequently. I hope this answers what does it consist of. Reporting and tracking becomes slow during this time.

    I see! Their maintenance is downtime for us! Not good!

    Are you saying CJ is playing favourites? If so that never pays - it leaves the disadvantaged party unhappy and causes them to move away. Thanks a lot for being open about this.

    What I dont like about CJ is the payout. Most of the offers payout a % of sales. Something like 12% of the sales.

    I would rather get a flat fee for a sale. You will make more with less.

    They have a huge list of advertisers to promote, including many International ones.
    Once you try it you can't stop it :)

    CB works for me, I've managed to get a few sales so far from CB, while CJ has failed to generate any revenue, despite that I get constant clicks
