Hello all. I signed up for cj months ago got like $3.02 balance before i stopped using it since my site's traffic doesn't convert obviously. Now I think maybe I can just promote the products by buying ads and send the traffic directly to the affiliate site (i dont want to make a landing page or whatever). Is that allowed? i am so confused of when do you need a landing page or when you don't need it. I read some terms on certain merchant that you are not supposed to bid on certain keyword on adword etc, is that the only limitation? oh and no adult/illegal content of course. And what are some good place to start? i am thinking of using adbrite since i know some site has an adbrite advertising block up that i want to buy CPM ads with. Edit: About the landing page, i am confused because when you generate the html code, it has a set text and an 1 pixel image to track impression. So if i dont have a landing page then i will need to change the text for the link, is that allowed? further, i will not be using the 1 pixel img to track impression then the stats will look like 0 imp and 50 click etc wouldn't it cause any problem? I was doing that for a day in linkshare and got banned for breaking their TOS though I am not sure if that is because I didnt use the code as exactly provided.
Your best bet is to spend lots of time reading these forums and every thread in the affiliate section you are interested in. Unless you have globs of money to throw at trial and error make sure you have a game plan that is most likely to work.
yes i am reading and reading since i dont have tons of money xD, i will spend little by little to test the water if i have to. i just want to make sure i dont break any rule and be banned before i reach payout (if any lol)
that question seems like 20 in one, tip optimize your landing page well and use a email program to get the word out their for you product
