Getting started with CJ

    I'm a newbie to affiliate marketing:cool:

    I just created my first site, which I'm still building, and signed up for CJ. Is there a good "getting started with CJ" guide somewhere?

    I've applied for an affiliate program through CJ, and it's still pending. Does anyone know how long it takes to get approved? And do they routinely deny people?

    What does it mean on CJ when something is "locked"?

    Last question -- Do you have to use the links provided by the specific affiliate program, or can you create your own links?

    Thank you!

    If you call them you can get immediate approval. This becomes even more true if you're not from UK, US, or Canada. If you don't call, your chances of approval are more than cut in half.

    They approved my site really easy though my site had minimal content and backlinks. I hope it won't take much time for you to reach the goal. Best of luck.

    One can never say the period of waiting during approval It may take sometimes several weeks too.
