    Dear Friends,

    I have just applied for CJ. I want to know if they really work and really work good.

    I have read that they pay if someone really purchases the services of the Advertisor.

    I know that most visitors just click and dont purchase much.

    Please guide me..

    :)

    Depdends how you market it and use the affiliate network. I know people inside CJ that make nearly $30,000/mo just from their sites alone using the CJ network. You can either make nothing, a little, or a lot. Depends how you setup your site. You also need a lot of traffic to be _very_ successful.

    For me no. I am still testing but it seems like they get a bunch of free impressions and clicks and I get nothing. I would love to know how to make CJ work too. I had one sale but that was reversed. I really don't know how anyone can make money with this company. If anyone has any suggestions please fill us in.

    If your users aren't in a buying mood, nothing you do will convince them to get out the credit card.

    Solution? Change your users. In addition to targeting terms like "chess strategy" also target terms like "discount chess sets" or "chess set reviews". Notice how the first term targets browsers seeking information and the second terms target buyers looking for shopping assistance. Most people who are used to Adsense make a mistake and assume that you can use the same sites and users browsing for information to make money with affiliate CPA programs.

    This question is very blasphemous sir.

    That would be too easy, you could just copy the site, which doesn't mean you will be successful, however it would be making it way too easy for you.

    DP is all about helping, not spoon feeding.

    No hard feelings.

    Yes most affiliates have learned the hard way about site copiers. They also had to spend time learning by trial and error - so the smart successful ones won't show off their sites.

    Besides there is no short cut to success. As others have said you need TONS of traffic and the visitors need to be targeted to the types of product you are promoting. TheHoff made some excellent points about key phrases that are more likely to convert too.

    I know that there are such people who will do anything for money.

    Anyhow, I got no bad or hard feelings if you cant tell

    However, I will be doing my work and rather than expecting a miacle on CJ, I will be projecting more on my Astro for money.

    I wish I get better money on my own.

    Thanks for ur guidelines.

    I have tried unsuccessfully thus far -- to reap the rewards of affiliate marketing. I am not sure what the problem is but I keep trying.

    Q...

    Last month I did $8,303.63 in total sales and put $657.68 in my pocket. Around 56 sales. It can be done, I have 2 sites that generate the figure above. Not getting rich yet, but I am going up monthly. Both sites have allot more potential for traffic, I am only getting couple hundred uniques/daily on both sites. Affiliate site is just like other sites, have to get traffic to succeed. Have to make it search engine friendly, it for sure takes some time now days.
