What type of site do you run promoting products from their catalogue, and how much success have you had thus far?
Damn, I was hoping for answer to this one after reading the topic title. I'm having no luck with CJ at all on any type of site. Send them a bunch of traffic, but conversions are abysmal.
Experiment with other ad types, chances are if you are sending a buch of traffic at a site and not getting any conversions, its becuase the traffic is not related/targeted to what your pushing. I have just started running CJ on a 1 month old site and I allready made $2
Even if the traffic you have is related to the products, they have to be in a buying mood. Having a ton of traffic to throw at affiliate banners isn't effective like it is with Adsense; with contextual ads all the user has to do is click... with CJ you require the full purchase... so your browsers better be buyers and not just window shoppers. Why some do well with Adsense but can't make a buck with CJ
Your content has be THE product you are selling... Not anything that related ... Your traffic has be people that are looking for THE product... Your visitor also have to be those "ready to buy" type unless you have even stronger content to converse them. With my first site, I am selling some ebooks... I made my first sell after six months with no afford at all... I just continuing posting on forum that I am in and people found me there... With the second site, I made the first sell on day 35. and 4 sells total within two months. So my advice is work on the "pre-sell" more.
