Can I link to a Product by using my own designed button?

    In the instructions CJ tells you not to change anything in the Html code they give.

    But what can I do if I want to link to the products not from their picture or text?

    Can I just copy the affiliate URL from the CJ links page and paste under other image (BUY NOW button)?

    I've been told that this CJ are very strict regarding their links, and if I change them i may not receive all the money I deserve.

    Although their ToS states that they do not want you to use your own banners or links, in all the years with them I have never had an issue with changing banners, links, etc. Nobody seems to care. Another aspect you want to consider is, sometime when CJ's system has a downtime, somehow the banners stop showing on websites. So having your own banners attached to CJ's links is beneficial in all regards.

    I did it but asked for their permission first. It's do-able, no problem.
