Having issues with CJ

    It seems like everything else on my site converts except for CJ I am getting pretty frustrated with them as I feel like their tracking either isn't working or their ads never convert.

    For instance, I put up Google Referral for PCNOW up and make over $100
    then I put up nearly identical ads with CJ and get nothing.

    I have converted Adsense, Chitika, TTZMedia, Linkshare, and Amazon, so whats the deal with CJ?

    Thanks in advance for whatever advice you can give me.

    Same issue here. I have not earned anything from CJ but made a few bucks with Amazon.
    What is your site if I may ask?

    Did you make the links look the same?

    I'd gotten an occasional PC Now conversion at CJ when I was doing a PPC campaign for them, but GoToMyPC converted better.

    Excellent point.. You may have entered the wrong PID in your URL. If you're tracking, then you should be okay. Also, did you test the link.. are you going to the correct page, etc?

    Looks like the PID is correct, URL goes to the intended page, it just looks like the banners and links don't convert or CJs tracking is bs.

    CJ tracks just fine, it all depends on the merchant's implementation of the tracking code. If PC Now screwed something up, it's their fault. I work with advertisers that use both CJ's pixel, and a third-party pixel, and both tracking methods match up exactly.

    I was wondering if it was something like that. It makes sense that Google would be a little more diligent with making sure affiliates pay out and track properly.
