    yes Im going to say screw the euros I make daily from Cj and leave too lol

    Look the only problems I see with Cjs is poor reporting and slllllllllllllllloooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwww loading times of their site otherwise I have been more than happy with them

    If I put in the results of one campaign I ran from one client no one in here would believe me the results were so good that I was afraid every day that Cjs would cancel my account because even to me who I knew had not committed fraud the figures looked like I had. I'm not going to name the client sorry I will only say it had something to do with getting paid for generating leads.

    if your not making money from the cjs clients you have chosen you may need to examine how you are generating traffic and in specific what keywords you are targeting.

    adspy pro is good investment to research any product or affiliate program you plan on promoting.

    Check your pulse. If you cannot make money with CJ then you may need to make sure you are alive.

    Seriously. I use PopShops, BANS and now Affiliate Blog Builder, what could be easier. Create a blog populate with products via Affiliate Blog Builder... Tag Ping, Social Bookmark, get some links maybe an article or two and bang... consistent money. Now I am combining BANS, PopShops and Affiliate Blog Builder to pull traffic 3 ways.

    Good luck... :)

    I agree, CJ doesn't have good advertisers. All I searched gave 0 results. Very disappointing but I'm not leaving it yet. Trying another strategy.

    CJ seems to be ok, not a site that I make to much off of. But they do have some top affiliate programs on their site...I will keep punching it out and eventually something has to give.

    And I thought I was going to be the odd one out and say how good they were. I seem to be earning more money with them after ebay has left. It's a different story with ebay though. I normally clock up quite a few sales by this time and but now I've only earned 90p for April. The tracking seems to be OK and I'm getting a lot of page impressions but no sales or leads. I wish cj would have more UK based merchants though.

    CJ has more top brands than any other affiliate network (even Linkshare & Performics, in my opinion). Dell, Apple, BestBuy, Staples, Lenovo, HP, Wall Street Journal, Yahoo!, Weight Watchers... the list goes on & on.
