My CJ account was de-activated

    You can imagine my shock when I went to check my CJ account yesterday and it was de-activated. All I had to do was check and agree button and it was re-activated, without my previous earnings and without my existing affiliate agreements in place.

    I had to go around to all my sites and remove the CJ ads.

    I hadn't used CJ extensively, but did have a couple of CJ ads on my sites for the past year. I guess nobody was buying ink cartridges, letters to santa or godaddy domains :)

    Does anyone else think that de-activating my accound without so much as an e-mail was just a little unprofessional? Is there something in their terms of service saying that you need to generate a certain revenue in your first year or you will be de-activated?

    It is very unprofessional when they do those type of things without warning. There is something listed if you dont make sales within I believe 6 months they will deactivate you.

    Thanks, at least now I know why they deactivated me. I really don't care about the $15, but re-establishing with all my affliates and re-doing all my ads didn't seem worthwhile, especially since I've done much better with adsense anyway. Still, there were a few affiliates that I would have liked to hold on to.

    Why? Doesn't sound like you were earning anything from them.

    He might have other sites under development that could use them later.

    Going through all the pages to remove a particular advertiser is a real pain, especially if you use text ads from them. I remember CJ deactivated an advertiser a few months ago, and just after I finished removing their ads, they sent an email saying the problem was solved and it was all good again!
