Anybody promoting Climber.com?

    So far I've got 22 clicks and 0 leads. I just launched this campaign today, so maybe CJ hasn't fully updated yet.

    If you read the advertiser detail for Climber, they state that they are "looking for a steady stream of college educated applicants" also about half or more of their links / banners target the job seeker, and not the employer. Yet when you check what it is they are paying for it says "recruiter application". Do they consider a job seeker a recruiter?

    Also their stats are really terrible, showing about $1.00 3 month and 7 day EPC. Just wondering if anyone has had problems with them, or could clarify for me exactly what they are paying for?

    Any experiences with this advertiser would be helpful. Thanks.

    I'm guessing a recruiter is not a job seeker. Most likely they pay you if a new company signs up through you and posts a job posting on their website.

    Yeah I agree with you igary, it just seems kind of shady that most of their links / banners and such are all targeted at the job seeker. I've cut them loose already. If anybody can share some experiences with them it would still be helpful as I'm not totally against resuming their ads.

    I've not had an experience with them, but I recommend contacting Evan Weber. He runs a few programs on CJ, including, I believe, climber.com and is not stupid. He might help you get better creatives.

    Doesn't sound like you are going to get much from them. I'd wait to see if their EPC improves. Although, could be spammers inflating the stats, check all the banners and links to see.
