    I've been using CJ for 2 weeks now - I made $2.60 almost instantly during my first few days, but as of now, I'm getting about a 2.6% CTR and up to 20 clicks per day, and the dollar amount never changed. The only advertiser I'm using is eBay, I'm guessing that if I did make anything, the transaction would have to be over (?)

    Mine is 150 dollars for 10 days.

    You have to consider the competition especially when using ebay. A lot of niche stores are sprouting like mushrooms everywhere. Just go back to the basics of promoting your site to go ahead of the competition.

    need also to consider keyword competition if you are relying on the organic traffic. the key is in the niche.

    This is insanity....look at my stats, these are just up to 12:00 noon today:

    [​IMG]

    ...and I still haven't made anything! :( I added it to a network of sites and pages I'm running. For the past 2 weeks, it was getting about 25 clicks per day, but it just exploded after I put it on a few higher profile ones. If this were PPC, I would have at least made something decent! How much longer is it going to go on like this?
