New to CJ - Lots of impressions, clicks, no result?

Discussion in 'Commission Junction' started by tennispro2006, Dec 13, 2010.

  1. #1
    Impressions: 32,734
    Clicks: 125

    I still made $0.0. It's my first day trying CJ, so I'd like some help.

    Most my visitors are sports lovers (soccer) from UK / Europe.

    What do you suggest? Please understand I'm completely new to this program (moving from adsense) so ...bare with me!

    I just selected a few UK-based companies from CJ to start off, and I'm guessing nothing converted.

    Any help would be great. Thanks!

    How targetted is this traffic?

    Meaning that if you are intending to be an affiliate for football boots, do the people who click on the links come to the site by searching for any football boots related terms? Obviously, your chances of conversion will be higher if they did.

    What kind of placement are you employing? Generic banners, in content links, or anything else?

    As a thumb rule, a 1 in 100 conversion rate is considered to be decent for most sectors.

    0 conversions from 125 clicks is nothing to get worried about, even with targeted traffic.
    It's a BIG OCEAN, and you only have a VERY SMALL HOOK.

    if its targeted traffic you get sales even when you just receive 3 clicks.
    think of another product probably because users that have found your site are interested to the game but not interested to the product you're selling
