How long does it take for CJ stats to update? Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place... where can I view click-thru numbers?
Generally, it takes an average of 2 hours for commissions to show up in the Commission Detail report, as long as the advertiser doesn't use batch transfers. The Commission Summary report is delayed slightly longer than the Commission Detail reports. Performance reports are delayed by a few hours when compared to the Commission Detail report. As for clicks & your CTR, you can find those in Performance Reports. Hope that helps!
Looks at your commission detail report. Unless your advertisers use batch transfers once a day, you will see transactions appearing throughout the day.
I still show 0 clicks. I noticed that it should also tell you right on the front page of the CJ control panel, as well. I don't understand why some offers have 200 links. How do I know which link to use for your everyday, basic PPC campaign? Maybe this is where I'm going wrong...
Clicks take a long time to update, since they show up in Performance Reports. The Performance Reports can be delayed by 4-12 hours, in my experience. As for PPC campaigns, you can use any link. Just check the Keyword Link & any special terms first for the advertiser's PPC policy. Some offers have lots of links because the advertiser offers multiple landing pages/product pages, or they have a lot of different banners/creatives for their publishers to use on their websites.
