Commission Junction

green line shows that advertiser's earnings, so that would give you an idea if the advertiser converts well

 

I'm new to Commission Junction. Do you know how to request Payments?

 

I don't know if I'd call it responsible. Perhaps "watered-down" would be a better term and they are finally realizing it. This could be for any industry. CJ has thousands of advertisers and with that many companies competing for solid vertical publishers, it can be hard to stay aggressive.

I'd consider them responsible when they start firing their clients.

[UPDATE: Sorry, didn't realize how old this thread was. I'll keep a better eye out for post dates...]

 

rodies, I'm glad you bumped this thread. I just signed up w/ CJ for one particular affiliate that works very well for my website. I have yet to add the products to the site. I'm working on that currently. I'm interested to see how this pans out.

 

Sorry for the intrusion here since you are all clearly affiliates and I am a merchant.

I have an online store that sells ink cartridges and cell accessories and need to generate alot more traffic by recruiting affiliates. I joined shareasale almost a year ago and have acquired 85 affiliates who's output has been very low. I am now considering moving to a different affiliate system in hopes that I will get much better results. I originally chose shareasale because it cost a lot less to become a merchant. I am now considering someone else because we can afford to pay more, I am considering linkshare or commission junction.

My questions to you, affiliates are:

1. Of all the ink cartridge and cell phone stores out there, what is your criteria for choosing which one to be an affiliate with?

2. Because I don't have a big brand name, would a permanent offer like free shipping on all orders, be attractive enough? If not what would attract you to a no name like us.

3. Does anyone have numbers on which affiliate system has the most affiliates?

We would appreciate any help as we try to build a small business. Thanks.

 

My income break down is as follows:
99% : Day job (8-5; 40hrs a week; yes some people still have those )
0.5% : Money I get in my birthday card or stocking
0.25% : money I find laying on the ground; or in a shirt pocket I haven't worn in over 3 months
0.15% : money that mysteriously falls from heaven or is delivered by an Angel (with actual wings etc)
0.1% : Income generated online through Adsence and Commission Junction combined

Slightly less impressive than the rest of you guys, but I'm working on it

 

I am in that same boat with ya man, I am just getting started so my Day Job is what pays my mortgage, but, some day, I might make 1/4 of what Shawn brings in and I will be able to buy myself an island

 

AzAkers,

Your "Impressive online marketing progress" totally cracked me up! Almost spewed coffee all over my monitor! Thanks for the belly laugh.

At least, it sounds like you still have a great attitude. Keep on trying!

 

Me too ...

Monthly Income
66% = day job 35hrs a week
25% = CJ (3 programs, but 90% is one program)
06% = side job (network/computer guy for small business)
03% = AdSense

Of course I'm working on getting more from affiliates, AdSense and side job, but this damn day job gets in the way.

Just thought I'd share.

 

I must be doing something wrong. After five months, I only get 8 clicks per month for 4000 impressions and not a single lead.

Set it as your home page. It is the best search available.

Use Commission Junction as much and however you want...

 

That page is rather lacking on style and design imho.

 

I have not earned $0.01 from CJ.

My site is newish and on a deeply yawn-inspiring topic, but on my very modest 37000 impressions, I showed only 127 clicks, and not a single sale / revenue of any kind; despite effort into trying to match relevant ad programs to my site.

CJ was a complete fiasco so far as I am concerned, and I have removed almost all CJ ads as literally a waste of space.

I would like to make CJ work, or a better Affiliate program work, and am willing to give it another shot; but only if they contribute something relevant to the site or to me.

Any tips from seasoned CJ campaigners would be welcomed.

 

How much did you have to pay CJ and is there a monthly fee?

 

There are no charges. They pay you.

 

I have registered cj one week before and managed to get 25$.Is it possible to receive my commission?

 

I'd ask CJ... The generally pay out monthly around the 20th - 25th, assuming things are actually working. If you are on DP, (not digital point) ie., direct deposit, you will generally see it on or about the 20th, 21st, ... 25th of the month. Assuming that the minimum payout was for the entire previous month.

 

Got $7 this month and it is just the 14th of this month.

right now I am trying out godaddy and netfirms ads.
