Can you use youtube? I like youtube marketing, because everybody always uses the links in the sidebar, instead of typing the whole thing themselves, and thus they use your affiliate links. So if can't use sites that don't belong to you, I 'd have to redirect everybody to my Squidoo Lens, Then from there they would click on the link to bring them to your advertiser. That would destroy conversions, because most people would just type in the address themselves. Wait... can you even use squidoo or are you not allowed that either? and why would CJ care anyway? the more sales their advertisers get, the more money CJ makes... do they want to make it hard on us?
I had the exact same problem. You'll need to set up landing pages. I'm not %100 sure CJ will accept that solution though. Try to find free web hosts that don't place ads on your site. There were some good suggestions about this in a thread I started earlier: forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1130452 Their transfer limits are extremely limited though so make sure your ads are extremely targeted and will convert.
Squidoo can be used to promote ClickBank products. See this lens for details http://www.squidoo.com/internet-make-money
I guess that makes sense... So I have to redirect my traffic. 377 views in 2 days isn't bad, but redirecting will kill conversion for CJ products. What are Popshops? Can they be used as landing sites? Are they even landing sites?
So using CJ in Squidoo is not allowed? I promote CJ links in squidoo and still makes money (and don't banned) Is it ok? There are so many people using CJ in Squidoo too..
Redirecting hurts conversion but it doesn't have to kill it. It just depends on what your landing page looks like. Btw have you made any progress with this? I am doing something kind of similar to you and would like to know if you've come up with a working solution yet.
