CJ - 105 clicks, 0 dollars - What's Up?

Discussion in 'Commission Junction' started by jjuname, Mar 11, 2008.

    I have been using CJ for about a month now, with no leads, sales, commissions, anything. I have 105 clicks, 0 invalid links, 0 inactive advertisers. I was wondering if this was normal or if something is wrong with my code.

    It is recording impressions and clicks correctly, can it be doing the sales wrong? Does it just take a long time to update? Or can I make 0$ from 105 clicks?

    Thanks for any help you guys can give me.

    Are your commissions for each day showing a $0.00? If yes, then I'd assume that they're still gather data. Usually, when there's no commissions, the day doesn't appear at all. But $0.00 implies some activity, which later can result in commission. That's been my experience. However, it didn't take a month to see results. I saw results after a few days.

    0$ for each day, clicks every day, decent clickthrough 10-30%. My main affiliate is ebay, maybe their reports are working correctly?

    105 clicks in a month is very little, get that many a day and you will start seeing some sales.

    Unless your traffic is from the countries banned by CJ/EBAY, you should get few sales. I do Ebay with US traffic and have sales everyday.

    I'm in just about the same predicament. I have 5 BANS stores up now, about 100 clicks, decent traffic and $0 in sales. Been about 3 weeks for me......but I'm getting antsy

    ive had 20000 clicks in 2 weeks now and made ~40, so it takes a lot of clicks, at least for me

    Also, the click counts are not based on unique visitor clicks, a person may be clicking back and forth between eBay and your site, each click is counted towards the number you see on CJ report.

    Again, 105 clicks in a month is nothing, I've had days with 200 clicks and no sales, theres no set formula as to how many sales per click you should get.

    Wow, that seems very low, you must be selling low value items. That's $0.002 per click. I'm averaging about $0.10 for every click.

    I just want to make sure there isnt a problem with my links/code. If i am getting impressions and clicks you guys think there is probably nothing wrong?

    I get that many clicks or more every day and sometimes don't make a sale. Be patient, and work on getting more traffic.

    CJ is great! I have made about $200.00 in a couple days with adwords, overture & adcenter. You just have to pick some good ones. Spent about $50.00. I read Affiliate Millions - great book to learn affiliate marketing.
