I've been with CJ for a while but was wondering what else is out there. Anyone having success with CJ competitors? If so, what are they? I'd like to see if there are other options to mix it up a little.
The ones that are most similar in advertisers to CJ IMO are shareasale and linkshare. I have joined both, but I haven't put in any time with them yet.
all 3 of those are good and there are a couple more but i don't like to recommend anything anymore to much goes on
There are a million alternatives in addition to working with stand along companies with affiliate programs. I find that when companies arent desperate to put their name on big networks, you find some real gems that few others are promiting. Hope that helps. -Patz
eBay affiliate program is also available through PepperJam now. That was always my biggest earner in CJ. If you like CJ, you should definitely try PepperJam and NeverBlueAds. Both of them are like cJ on steroids. I personally like CPA networks that offer a lot of lead based programs and both PJN and NBA have an impressive amount of lead based programs.
I prefer Linkshare and CJ for large brand name merchants/etailors. Shareasale also has some big brandnames. IMO large merchants tend to convert clicks into visitors more consistently.
Shareasale is great because unlike the other bigger networks, they don't allow parasitic "affiliates" to stick their hands in your cookie jar.
There are dozens of alternatives to CJ.. which includes.... Azoogle ads, incentaclick, shareasale, shareresults, clickbank e.t.c
wow I didn't know there were so many. I have signed up for shareasale, pepperjam, and cj. I'll take a look at performics.
CJ is the top network IMO because they have very reliable tracking and the most brand-name merchants, which tend to convert better overall.
