Hi, I have been promoting CJ products in past on one of my sites, however, I am about to add another website in the CJ network. In Linkshare, if you add-up multiple sites, for every site you list, you have to apply for merchant programs. It is easy to find which site is promoting which merchants with the ease of a click. Just switch over to a site and then goto My Advertisers and you can see which advertisers have accepted your website in their affiliate program. However, how is this managed in CJ? If I have SITE A and have affiliation with 20 merchants and I add a new SITE B, can I promote those 20 merchants with my SITE B? Or do I need to signup with merchants once again to promote their products through my SITE B? I have always been confused since CJ Control Panel does not reflect which site has affiliation with which merchants. I would appreciate if someone can provide information. Thanks & Regards, Andy.
As far as I know, CJ advertisers approve YOU. Which means you can run their ads on any of the sites listed in your CJ account.
Hi Kerosene, Thanks for the reply, +rep added. With due respect, are you sure if an advertiser has approved my SITE A and later I add SITE B to CJ, I can promote that advertiser using my both sites - SITE A & SITE B? Anyone else thinks different? Please, I need to know this urgently. Regards, Andy.
That's the way it's always worked for me. I'm getting commissions from advertisers that I added YEARS ago on sites that I've only recently added to my CJ account .
Having worked as both an affiliate & with advertisers to manage CJ programs, I can tell you that Kerosene is correct - if you add SITE B later, the advertiser doesn't need to reapprove your application. You can promote advertiser on SITE B. Just make sure that SITE B complies with any policies listed in the advertiser's detail page or special terms (if applicable).
Thanks for the information Kerosene and tvmatt (+ rep for tvmatt) Appreciate your help. Regards, Andy.
