    Hello,

    As you know in CJ they have both Open and Closed Keyword Policy... So I would like to know what exactly is a CLOSED KEYWORD POLICY. It says affiliates are not allowed to use advertiser's brand names or mispellings on PPC Search Engines... So it means we cant link the advertiser directly by using a KEYWORD link.... I understand that but WHAT IF I bid on their brandnames for driving traffic to landing pages instead? Is that allowed?

    If the advertiser does not allow you to bid on branded names you can not bid on any variation.
    Warning they will contact CJ and your account can be closed.

    I think they want to give some liberty to certain advertiser, so the advertiser can choose if your bid is good enough, or they prefer to take a better offer. Actually its quite make sense.

    What in the world were you trying to say? That was barely English...

    If the policy says that you can't bid on their trademarks, that means you can't do it at all - not with a direct link, and not with a landing page. Contact each advertiser for more details.
