    I started using CJ from 30th of last month i.e. 30th October 2008 and i have started making nice amount of money from CJ without investing a single penny on advertisements of PPC.

    [​IMG]

    Its a lot but still i'm new to CJ and started making this much from the start and without spending anything. I think that's a good start

    What do you say ?

    the image is kinda small, but from what i can see, it says your commissions earned for the day was $36.40? or is that $364.0?

    if it's the latter, then yes, that would probably be considered a pretty good day. however, if it's 36 dollars, then i think it can be improved. As a merchant, if i only pay out 36 dollars on the day, im pretty disappointed cuz that means i've only received about 300-400 bux in sales. Personally, i love paying out hundred's to thousands (that has yet to happen) of dollars in commissions a day. I think the most i've done in one day was probably about 400 dollars in commissions given out. Hopefully one of these days i'll have to pay out 1000 dollars in commissions, cuz that would be at least 10,000 dollars in sales!!!

    Yeah, I would like to know what products you are promoting. I made a good amount of money on CJ when eBay was still with CJ.

    It is 36.4

    52 sales make 36.4 USD is not a good rate.

    Also I dont know why you get 3687 clicks but only 2 impressions, may be there are mistakes, ...

    You need to work harder. The minimum payout at CJ is 100 dollars. Do you rely on blogging to promote CJ products?

    WOW!!! Your Coversion Rate is troubling! I would have had a massive heart attack. For the noob's out there please don't get advice from this person, it really doesn't equal out, your traffic is low quality, and your sales are maddening. YOu need to re-evalute everything. I think you would have made more from adsense. I know you are on cloud nine right now because that is your best day but to any seasoned marketer that would have been a day from hell, they would have probably changed their site, called the advertiser, seen if a different advertiser sold the same thing at a higer payout rate, gone to the er for chest pains, and would be on craigslist looking for a 9-5 job.
    Please don't take what I say as offensive, I am just being honest with you. That is why you post to get peoples honest reviews. If anyone agrees just give me a :eek:

    haha, you tell em jody!

    but in all seriousness, 36 dollars cant really be considered a great day, no matter what you're promoting. Having said that, you're going have to do something to turn all those clicks into sales. If you're seeing that many clicks on a daily basis but only a few sales, then my thought is that many people are abandoning your site.

    I dont know what your site is, but if you;re selling something, trying using a better call to action (basically copy that encourages users to take a desired action). Many users also dont buy off sites that dont look credible. So if your site fits into that category, consider giving your site a facelift to look more professional.

    They are secrets for a reason! Anywhoo it is not a secret, it is called advertising, any sales person knows the keys to success, falling on ur azz a couple of times before you start to pick up is normal, but not to get off the post subject, I am happy that you consider a $36.40 day wonderful it is the little things that should make us happy, now it is time for you to get greedy and figure out why with that many clicks why aren't you making more, add content to your site, go site comparing, in what ever your niche is look at other peoples sites, how do they look? Do they have nice original content, how did they get the content? Did they make it up, is it from a dictionary and put in their own words(I have seen that) Is their site user friendly and appealing to the eye. It is our eyes that do the shopping all the way around. Is your site appealing? Convert those clicks over!!!! Use your secret methods and put them to use, then come back here when you have 3467 clicks 520 sales and made at least $520.00!!! at least 1 dollar per sale.!!! You Can Do IT!!! My best day with CJ was Oct 3rd 2008 $498.76 Since then I have thought of many new ideas, Working on a list I made I am doing one at a time. Cyber Monday is coming up and that is my priority right now.

    Well for those that think its nothin but crap

    Let me tell you more about it, Im making users to click on the link and its on the user to sign up or not. Im getting $0.70 per sign up. My site is a video related site and there is not much content but videos. Another thing is these are free users, im not paying anyone anything to get me these on-site leads.

    One more thing, Its a very good add on for my on-site traffic

    Thanks

    Forcing clicks? No one said ur stats were crap if you knew how to utilize them. I am not to keen on forcing anyone to click. A good prosperous Idea for you would be to use the Yahoo tool bar, they pay 1.00 and they are world wide trusted. And just for your own info. CJ is very keen to quality, please becareful that you are not violating terms of service by forcing your customers/clients/music fans to click if CJ see you are violating tos you will be banned and not paid. Like we said and I will say it again with your amount of clicks you should get more! Think greedy, don't think we are trying to put you down. I think you should learn to take constructive critisizm.:p
