Success in CJ through PPC?

is anyone here having success with CJ by promoting products on PPC? You don't need to expand your answer. Yes and No is okey for me, but if you can expand then It will be very much appreciated.

 

yes. if you are directly linking make sure to ask the merchant if they are alright with that (they may ask you what ad copy you are going to use)

 

Yes, but a lot of people are losing a lot of money with it - is not success for all.

 

thank you guys for the replies, I am planning to promote cj through PPC. Hopefully I will succeed too.

 

Hello,

You need to try many niches...

Best,

yeah, I will do that.

One more thing though. Which PPC are u using? YSM, Adwords, AdCenter or others?

and for a beginner which do you suggest..

 

Yes. But it's getting tougher.

I'm using all the PPCs you mentioned. And those PPCs are getting more expensive. (Probably b/c folks like us are competing with each other. Oh well )

 

All i do is lose money is PPC... refer this thread for more info - http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=271675

 

Yes, I think Keyword Research is very important for ppc.

 

The key to PPC success with CJ is: choosing targeted keywords, excluding bad keywords, choosing the right merchant landing page, accepting that most campaigns probably won't work, and the willingness to keep trying. And always look at the EPC bars (Earnings Per Hundred Clicks) to see what a merchant's making across the network. This will give you an idea of where to start your keyword bidding.

 

I always have a wierd feeling with CJ that they fiddle the stats.

I have no evidence to back this up at all and is probably just me being paranoid...but the stats seem really strange to me sometimes.

 

This is not the first time I read something like this. So, I would check things out further too.

 

Once approved for a product, i thought i could only send visitors from my website enlisted in CJ to that product. If PPC is ok, i think i can send visitors from my network of sites using the same link without a problem? or does that depend on the product/company i am using?

 

I've made a bit of money from some PPC campaigns, and others just don't perform as well & lose money. It's all about trial and error, and knowing when to cut your losses. You're not always going to make money, but that's a risk you always take in business.

As for the accusation that CJ fiddles with the stats, CJ isn't messing around with any stats. CJ gets 30% on top of the commission that you (the affiliate) is paid, which is how they make the majority of their money. If you get paid $1000 in commissions, CJ makes $300. It's clearly in their best interest to make sure everything tracks properly.
