    My question is, does CJ tell you the names of the people who sign up/buy products from CJ merchants to earn you commission?

    Thanks

    I think that CJ do not has this information.

    And even that you ask for the merchant this would violate the Privacy policy of most of the merchants - when someone sign up /buy something in a site - this site can not share any info to others in any circumstance.

    The more close that you can be is the order ID - by running a report.

    For the blueHost webhosting the order ID is the domain name of the people that bought the hosting service using your link - but bluehost is an exception.

    CJ only gives you the notice of deactivate advertisers more than anything else, unfortunately.

    In fact, information about buyers are handled by each advertiser, not by the central.

    I am having trouble with how websites like http://www.treasuretrooper.com and http://www.cashcrate.com (practically the same program and website) can award members cash for signing up for free trials through their CJ links. These programs do work because I have been paid into my PAYPAL account by both. They are not scams.

    Basically, you click on their CJ link, you fill out the CJ merchant trial (30day diet pill trial, credit reporting trial, ect: cost between $0 - $8, i think it's just to get your credit card on file), and click "Done" on the TreasureTrooper website in order to credit your TT account. Then, your trial offer is placed in a "Pending Offers" section of the website, where after a few minutes to a couple days, the trial offer gets moved to "Approved Offers" and the person's TT account is credit for signing up for the trial. Sometimes the offers never get approved though.

    My question is how are they tracking who and who doesn't sign up for the offers through their CJ link? Are they just using a timestamp to estimate who signed up or what?

    Thanks for your help!

    They never estimates nothing they usually track for some kind of ID in database like order ID - so is possible to track all single orders that convert or not.

    If you already bought using your own links try to run report under "Transaction Report" Subtab and select "Commission Detail" on combo Box: Run report and download it as XML excel (has more columns) take a look and you will see your order and your order # there.

    Okay, I think I see the process here. But would'd a site like treasuretrooper have a poor "lead to sale" rate. I'm sure they would get lots of leads, but seems like so few would lead to sales, or doesn't CJ care about that?
