    I think it's much too soon to draw any hard and fast conclusions. I didn't receive my first commission until 13 days. It's a positive that you seem to be getting some traffic. Of course, not knowing your niche, no one can assess things from that standpoint. You have no ACRUs yet, and those can provide a boost.

    Your $.017 EPC seems low. Mine, so far this month, is $8.23 just for comparison. I have no idea how mine stacks up against others. For all I know, it may suck.

    I'd give it some more time, and, in the meantime, build more sites.

    20,500 clicks making only $35 is VERY low. It's less than .002 cents/click.

    Where are you getting this traffic from? Is it targeted? You are better off just putting in adsense. Even if you had half those clicks at 1 cent each, you would have made a grand with adsense.

    $0.17 EPC is low, but that depends what you promote. you average $ per sale is $0.92, which is low. You should have atleast 1-2% conversion rate.

    20487 clicks and only 38 sales, are you sure you are using legit methods of sending those clicks? You should be getting more sales if people know what they are clicking.

    How come your clicks are more than impressions?? Doesnt make sense??
    Impression is when someone views an ad
    Click is when someone clicks on that ad

    When you click on Get HTML in CJ, You're given with 2 links, one is buy url and other is impression invisible image. He's is using that image for some ads and not for other. Impression image is not required for a sale to track, that's why CTR shoes N/A. I too have more clicks than impressions.
    Btw, if you use Javascript code, then you can't ignore the impression image, as it comes with it. and btw, Javascript code sucks!
