Put the link on an unadded website, does CJ allow the action?

    eg. A website abc.com, I don't add it to my CJ account, so if I put an affiliate link on the website abc.com, when the users on the website click the affiliate link and generate sales, will I get the commissions? Does CJ allow this?

    I search it on CJ help, but I can't find the answer. Could you tell me the answer or the CJ official help about it?

    Thanks for your reply.

    Hi there,
    As far as I know, this shouldn't be a problem once you are approved by an advertiser. But it does not mean that you'll get the commission for sure because some of the advertisers reverse some of the sale for various (sometimes strange) reasons.

    thanks, welkin.

    So I can put the link on any website regardless if it has been added the account?

    I am not sure about this, I wouldn't do that, because you get a different ID for each site, surely? That may just be for tracking purposes, but I dunno, I wouldn't risk it.

    I cannot see a reason why it should be a problem - you can put many of the links into emails or use them for URL redirects, why shouldn't you be allowed to use them on various websites?
    Maybe there are some restrictions in the case of some particular advertisers but I wouldn't say that there is a general restriction.
    If you want to be 100% sure, you could also write to CJ support, they usually answer such questions...

    Thanks! After I searched lots of articles, I don't wanna try it now.
