    OK, so the stuff I am advertising does not jive well with my content, but that just seems wrong. Adsense does great for me, probably because it's targeted to my content.

    Should I dump CJ or just try to find ads closer to my genre? (video clips and humor) My traffic is picking up, so you'd think I could make some $ with CJ....

    Try running more specific ads and see if that increases.

    Your click-through seems normal to me if you're running ads that might not be specific to your genre.

    OK, thanks. It does make sense as I am getting a MUCH better clickthrough on adsense. Don't know if CJ has any advertisers that fit. Time to go looking....

    cj has a ton of advertisers, it may take a while to find a good one but the choice is amazing IMO :)

    Do you mind telling us the period of time you got these stats and roughly how much commission it brought you.

    Stats were a period of maybe 2-3 days. no commission. I now have about 150 clicks. I have a higher CTR, but still no leads or commissions.:(
