This has been going for about a week. I wanted to see if anyone else was having the same problem. During the day when I check CJ, on the home page I get the short report on impressions and clicks. However, nothing shows up in the "Performance Reports" until around 8 p.m. This seems to happen for all CJ merchants. My ebay earnings are even slower. I usually have to wait until the next morning before I see any change in earnings from the ebay RSS feed. Is everyone having this?
There's an announcement in the CJ interface saying that performance reports are 16 hours behind. Run transaction reports for the quickest updating stats on sales.
Was supposed to be caught up by noon, but looks like it is still at least 90 minutes behind at 1:00 pm. Really hard to believe that these problems persist after so many years!
I think it's not only the performance reporting that is broken, I am getting very low conversions. Its down 40% from usual. That 40% is huge, maybe around $200-$300 a day. I just hope there are CJ people reading this forum.
Ebay is always a bit slower than most other affiliates, as they do batch updates. Each partner varies, some do batch's, others update hourly. This 16 hour delay really has nothing to do with the regular delays. As long as they show up I see no problem, it's not like you get paid hourly. Although I understand some people use adwords/whatever and prefer to see quicker results so they can adjust their campaigns accordingly. You can see on each affiliates page how they do it.
