    Many programs forbid you to use your own link to sign up; you shouldn't expect a commission on your own leads. It is hardly fraud on CJ's end...

    I can assure you that CJ does not cheat its publishers, I have had first hand experience with how the transaction process works and it does work. I have had several checks go through as a publisher myself. You must also make sure you are using the proper links for the cookie to set properly.

    I agree with fsmedia. I have been a publisher with CJ for over 5 years and receive a check monthly. I've not had trouble with any of their merchants nor their payment system. Sometimes at CJ, a merchant can choose to 'extend' the sale for credit authorization purposes. Perhaps that is why you did not see it reflected in your commissions yet. In this case, you can see your 'extended sales' when you click on 'run reports' in your control center. This amount usually gets directly credited on your following months check.

    Alternatively, another reason for non payment could be that the affiliate links DO expire. Be sure to check your ‘Invalid Links Generating Traffic’ Reports as well, so that you can clean up any dead links or re-post ones that have indeed expired.

    I've definitely never discovered fraudulent activity from CJ and it is true that you are NOT supposed to be credited commissions for buying from your own affiliate links.

    Hope this helps!
