I have done clickbank things in the past and I didn't do to bad, but I do believe that something is weird with their tracking. So I am looking into commission junction, hoping it will be safer. Now do we need our own website or can we just redirect with a hoplink type? Also do you promote these the same as clickbank products, such as article marketing, blogging, etc? Thanks
most of cj's advertisers wont allow you to place links on sites that arent yours, so yes, you will most likely need a website (you dont necessarily need to buy a domain and hosting; this could be a free blog, myspace, facebook, twitter, etc.)... and yes, you can promote your site by pretty much any means you like, except paid to click, they dont usually accept traffic that comes from that.
