    The following are the statistics of my CJ account for the past one month.

    Period This Month; Commission earned $0.00 USD; Sales 0; Leads 0; Clicks 952; Impressions 239,202; CTR 0.40%; EPM N/A; EPC $0.00 USD.

    Most of the above impressions and clicks were generated by Google for some excellent keywords. Even though I'm sending the quality traffic, why I'm not getting atleast one lead or sale.

    well, if 900 people clicked and NONE of them bought, you may want to look at what you're promoting... you are doing your job by getting them there but the site isnt selling. with that many clicks you should be getting some sort of commission. maybe try a new product and use the same methods, affiliate marketing is all about trial and error, find what works for you and stick with it. its hard to get that many people to click one little link, so good work, keep it up!! ;)

    it may also be 'who' you are promoting rather than 'what' you're promoting.

    if you're getting 900 clicks, that's not bad at all, so definitely there is a market for what you are promoting. however, if the merchant you are promoting looks like crap and typically doesn't look they are a trustworthy retailer, then it's probably not so much your work, but theirs. it's up to you to send them traffic, but it's up to them to close sales. if they're not doing that, then you're not gonna get paid

    If these would be adsense clicks, i wonder how much you would have earned.

    I would move along to something else if I had 900 clicks and nothing to show for it. If all of that traffic is organic, then IMO there's a 99% chance it's the product (or the product's landing page) that's failing to produce and you can't control that.

    maybe the keywords thats bring you the traffic its not targetted well !! because 952 clicks and no sale that means your conversion rate is under 1/100 its very bad !!
