You are comparing apples with oranges. You can promote many physical products with CJ but with CB you can only promote digital products.
I think you should start with click bank. For CJ as far as I know they will need you to have a high traffic website to be able to promote products in their market place. Correct me if I'm wrong guys.
Not really, they just care that you are sending quality traffic. Other affiliate networks are much stricter with traffic requirements, like Hydra for example.
You could try both of them,give both of them a try for say a month and then with the stat feedback you then can make the right choice,both are free to join up and what works for one person may not work for another.
Two totally different business models. One is selling leads and physical products while the other sells software/ebooks. The easier niche to get into would be the ebooks, as you can dominate the search engine results easier on some of the products, so that is what I would recommend.
Thanks a lot everyone, I think i should try Commission junction after reading all of your replies. Thanks again.
i prefer clickbank because of their commission rate, but i guess it depends on what kind of traffic you have
^^ I agree. This is spot on. ^^ Ebooks are the way to go for a beginner. Just start with a website reviewing 3 or 4 products, and work on your SEO / Backlinking. Once you start seeing results, test, track, and ramp it up
These both companies are doing greaT! , Your traffic quality and your method play an important role. If you own a website with high traffic then you can use both networks. If you wanna traffic from seo then clickbank will best for you. With PPC Again clickbank may perform good. One tip for you.. Try to choose those campaigns which is not saturated because they will perform great!
