How often does CJ update their daily stats?

    I started a BANS site a couple hours ago, and I clicked an auction link to make sure it worked. CJ still says I have 0 impressions and 0 clicks today. Do I just need to give it more time to update?

    LOL. Yes give it some more time. CJ seems to be still using 90's system. They don't update real-time like other networks.

    Don't worry, you'll know when you see $ in your account. :)

    I just want to be sure that I set it up right so I will actually be getting $ in my account, and not sending free traffic to eBay.

    As long as you have used the right links then you will be getting the clicks and commission.


    They update every few hours but have been well behind as of late, the other day my account never updated for over 18 hours, then it all came through in one whack. So instead of me thinking I only made £4 in one day I realised it was £30 when it was finally updated.


    just be patient I guess.

    Clicks and view should show up every hour to a few hours. Sales will show up the same unless the merchant "batches" and then you have to see each merchant on how they batch.

    Example ebay ACRUs show up every 3-4 hours (normally), and sales/bids show up the next day when ebay processes them in a batch.

    Since eBay hosts links on its own servers, it tracks clicks and reports them to CJ in batches. Direct CJ links can take 4 hours to show up, so eBay could be more.

    How can you tell which advertisers do batch reporting to CJ? I'm still curious as to how I've gotten 200 clicks in the last 2 days and NO sales.

    I don't see anything on CJ about batch reporting.

    Normally, for the money showing up in the stats it takes at least 24h for me
