Commission Junction stats

I signed up for CJ a few weeks ago and still learning my way around. Is there a way to find out what specific CJ banners/links are being clicked? I'd like to know, so that I can filter out any affiliates that aren't doing well.

Also, when you do make a commission sale, do you at least know what affiliate it came from?

 

run a report to see the stats

 

I don't think there is any way to tell how often banners get clicked. That information would be useless to you anyways, because if you promote a product directly it will get a lot more clicks then if you were to just stick a banner on your site. So the information wouldn't be reliable.

Yes, CJ lets you know a lot of things about each sale. You can see how many impressions, clicks, leads, and sales were made for each affiliate, and specifically which link that those impressions / etc. occured.

 

You can track individual banners by giving them each a unique SID when you make the link.
SID is an optional parameter for your use only so pick something short that makes sense to you eg "CJfooter1"
Your reports will show the merchant (you are the affiliate) and SIDs

 

Thanks guys! The SID thing is exactly what I need.

 

I hope you are using something like google analytics to track your site's performance. My eyes were really opened after seeing where my traffic was coming from and how it performed. Make sure you are tracking everything.
