What's up everyone, I just joined cj and I have a very ignorant question about cj. When you pick an advertiser and you push get links, are your unique affiliate ID already inplanted in the links they generate for you. I thought you had to add your own unique affiliate cj id into each advertiser you chose. Hey I'm use to CB where you add your own id into every site you want to market. Yes, I am a little self concious, I ain't going to start sellin anything until I know 100% that it's going to credit me for the sale. thanks for any input. cheers!
As long as you've been accepted by the advertiser, then the links will automatically have your aff id in them. You can check by searching for your CJ 'PID' in the link.
When you check out the details of an advertisers program, right down at the bottom of the box is the Apply Now button. Clicking that will start off the application for that advertiser. Some of the advertisers allow instant approval - others check you out first. The other side of this is to Click on the Account Tab (just under the Commission Junction logo) - and then click the Link called Web Site Settings. Here is where you add in details of the web site(s) - there is a button called Add a New Web Site . Fill in the fields here including URL, Title, and a good description (doesn't have to be long.) If it's a new web site, say so. Also include details of how you intend to promote site/affiliate product. Further down the screen is a list of categories/products. You choose at least one and make it the default - another two are optional. So, if you're applying to merchants to promote handbags, it makes sense to click Handbags in the Accessories category and make it the default for that web site. You might also find related products to promote. Hope that makes some sense. Once you are approved to promote products for that advertiser, go to the Get Links section and select By Relationship - and you will find the programs you are approved for in a list there. Each advertiser gives their own banners/text links - so view the links for the advertiser and choose one of the products/banners/text links to promote and Get HTML or Get Javascript. You will be presented with the code; you can customise it be selecting your web site from a drop down menu (if you have more than one site). .... there are other ways you can customise the code which will get updated in the box at the bottom. When you have finished customisation, highlight the code, copy and paste it into your web page. That will have all your details included properly! M
yes and when u have many sites. u can select what site to use and use the banners on.. lso including your relevant cj pid number
