    does it take a longer time for revenues to show up? i've only been a CJ member for 2 days... should i contact them or is it normal for there to be a couple days of delay?

    I use both AdSense and CJ. The CJ ads get a lot more clicks.

    it's not bots "clicking through" is it? cj has some way of telling which are organic clickthroughs, i'm assuming? btw, nearing 300 clicks for past 2 days and no rev :-/

    It all depends who clicks on the ad.

    It can also be 4000 clicks and no revenue.. or it can also be 50 clicks and 5 sales.. all depends on how targeted your website is. Are they coming to your website buying related product?? If Yes CJ is the best for you if no Go for Adsense..

    ..:: peace ::..

    You have to presell your visitors on CJ products. Pasting some banners up, and expecting commissions will not work. It took me 6 months to realize this.

    Is your niche mainly readers or buyers? makes a difference

    also, check the locking period on the company you are promoting. I think the average dat is like the 10th or something... I believe that means they don't have to post anything to cj until that date.

    No, locking period does not mean that. Locking period is the number of days the commission will sit after the end of a period before it can be considered "payable".

    Anyway, ads for eBay, 123Inkjets, etc... can be pretty untargeted. Find a product that's targeted to your audience & you'll do a lot better.

    hm... what about something like fastweb sign up that's very targeted? lots of clicks and no conversions... or they're super slow on conversions

    got 50+ more clicks today and no rev... maybe someone thought it'd be fun to click around my site yesterday like 150 times? lol
