Do you need to have a website running in order to apply for CJ?

    I currently run an adult affiliate site that makes about $2k/mo.

    I'm looking to expand into CJ--they do not accept pornographic sites in their terms. Since I do not have a site/url yet, does that mean I can't apply? I don't know what of theirs I want to promote just yet so I wouldn't have a site/url.

    Thanks.

    I believe they will reject you if you have an adult website. The advertisers at CJ do not want to be associated with adult things. Many times, advertisers approve manually when you try to join their affiliate program.

    My suggestion is to have another website. May be a blog or some general business website. With the adult business, you need to clearly separate it from any other businesses.

    You have to have a site to enter in the URL section of registration but your account will be auto approved but individual affiliates will reject you without a great site.

    if you want to test the water, so to speak, yes, you can have subdomain type of site or get a free site.

    The website url is only for affiliates to look at your site and say oh! Awesome, Approve!

    However, a good number of affiliates have auto approve turned on :D

    Enjoy.

    how did you make 2k a month? I too want to start an adult site. Was this through an affiliate or through PPC?

    fell free to PM if you would like.
