Unfortunately, I've found some of my most successful programs in the paid survey niche have been deactivated. I knew one would be dropping CJ with maybe a weeks notice but only because I contacted the affiliate manager about something else regarding their program with CJ. Is it common for advertisers to suddenly become deactivated without notice? It's really unfortunate. The advertisers that appear to have left CJ include: Panda Research Survey Group, Survey Payoff and TikTik Survey Cash. I've switched to the TikTik cash in house affiliate program however, I'm not finding an affiliate alternative for the Survey Payoff or Panda Research sites. I had 100 or so leads in my last three weeks with these programs and with some traffic success, conversions for these programs were increasing with each week before the deactivation. Has anyone else been impacted by this change? Best.
Has anyone promoted TikTik cash via their in house affiliate program for members? I'm a little concerned because while I was always paid by CJ for this company, it takes THREE MONTHS following reaching a $100 payout level to get paid while they verify the leads. This is what some scam sites do, hoping you will forget and then they never pay. Plus, that's a long time considering $100 = 100 referred members. I emailed them asking if they'd change the terms for a high volume affiliate (given CJ performance) and they replied with a link to the TOS!
I have a really good survey program in CJ called ECN Research that you can promote. Let me know if you want any more info. Usually programs will close if they arent making it sales or lead wise to cover the CJ monthly minimums...
I have noticed this as well. And like Experienced mention, these programs can leave at anytime and there really has to be a reason. If they were actually making money then there would not be a need to deactivate.
