My first Sale :)

    Im not sure why, but I had a website with some hosting banners from CJ which I had spent some money on. It didn't really make anything from affiliate programs so I decided to remove the website.

    Today I logged into CJ and it said I made a sale which gave me $105. Not sure how but the website has been down for a while, I guess the user saver the url for another time. Either way, $105 was my first commission, and im pretty happy about it :)

    Or maybe CJ takes longer to show the sales generated? Or do they show the sales immediately?

    Ill keep you guys updated as to how I do with other affiliate programs im starting.

    Congrats!
    Now put that website back up!

    I'm guessing it was the cookie installed on the user's machine that give you that sale :D

    Great, congrats.
    CJ put cookies so you will get the sale even if the buyer buy something many days after he visited your site. Dont remember how long, suppose its different from each advertiser.

    darwix, what site was it? If it was one of the sites in your signature, what were you promoting?

    Congrats

    Congratulations. Remember that first sale - it's your first step towards
    freedom.

    Oh, CJ probably tracked the cookie from the user and credited you.
    Happens to me all the time.
