I have seen people actively promote coupon codes vs. affiliate links, such as for example here http://www.retailmenot.com/view/godaddy.com (look at coupon codes CJC749NOT, PANDA, EMMA, etc) Do they have special agreement with CJ that they got some personal coupon codes that track to their affilaite account without need to use CJ affiliate redirect link? Does anybody knows anything about it, or have used it, could you please shed some light?
I haven't seen anything like this through the CJ interface, but its possible that some of the big performers in a niche are able to get in contact with the advertiser's affiliate manager to work out some personal deals. Out of curiosity, do you know of any direct-from-advertiser affiliate programs that have personalized coupons? Dreamhost makes it easy, but I haven't found another company that has quite a nice setup.
