Is CJ the worse site ever!!

    I dont know what it is, but ever sinse I started using CJ (a month or so), it seems to be the worst site I have ever come across on the internet with regards to pages loading, errors, and logging in. Anyone else feel thats its pretty bad. On several occassions when I have planned to do some work with CJ affiliates I just cant login, or pages aer very very slow loading, and I just give up as I am losing valuable time and then login in with no problems to other affiliate sites I am doing work for.

    Apart from this I have no complaints with CJ, its so frustrating though.

    I've had problems with CJ like those. Very surprising that perhaps the biggest affiliate network out there has website problems.

    I think they have so much traffic and people on the site that sometimes it does have problems. They are a good site but they do have problems that they should fix.

    While their website isn't the best with uptime, I've been very pleased with the results. I've made well over $4,000 in one week.

    I was gonna make a post about that this morning. Is it too much to ask for at least 75% uptime?? Seriously, how much money are they pulling in and they can't get a decent network system going??

    Guys, I found a picture of their affiliate server and think this explains why it's having these problems:

    I think the worst web site of an ad network goes to linkworth.

    Nice one mrx ;)

    I think I am going to try that jpoke, no other alternative until they use some of there profit and update there site and server, you would think a company of that nature, and how it is us that ultimately make them money they would be taking care of this, afterall there are other sites we can easily turn too, maybe not with so good advertisers, but the advertisers wont mind one bit changing over either if they see a dramatic drop in sales from affiliates.

    Yeah I always had problems with the CJ website.
    I just switched to other networks where my best performing merchants are part of. You guys should do the same :)

    There is a shortcut for logging in. I'm at work so I don't have it here, but at home I've got the shortcut link (with my ID number and password) bookmarked and it just takes me to my account. I haven't had to login to CJ in about 3 years. That said, the CJ site does go down more than it should. It's not the worst site ever, although that would make an interesting topic. IMO, the worst major websites (those owned by parent companies worth at least $10 million) are MySpace and Espn.com. ESPN is especially frustrating because you know they've had a large team of people working on that site for 10+ years, and they still have major problems on a regular basis like overlapping elements and dead links on the homepage.

    Their website is the only one where none of the links will work if I use Firefox, but will work with IE. With Firefox if any of the links do work I get taken back to a login page again. Frustrating.

    CJ site works fine for me but I wish I could get more conversions from the 1000s of impressions I'm generating!
