    Why is the 1-2 hour tracking delay such a problem? Are you really logging into your account that frequently to watch you stats?

    That's not CJ's problem - that's a merchant-by-merchant decision. For the programs that I help manage, we manually review all applications, with the exception of a few countries that are on auto-decline.

    When 95% of the applications from specific countries are being rejected for not meeting criteria, and the other 5% drive less than half a percent of the program's revenue, it's not worth the affiliate manager's time for no return.

    CJ has been getting better with communication, but some affiliate programs are neglected by the merchants that run the programs - you can't blame that bad communication on CJ.

    They dont auto reject in most cases, iam a 4star publisher and i get around 15-20 offers from merchants to join them. which says if you show how better you can perform offers come from the other way

    I'm a long time affiliate marketer, but a new CJ marketer. I've used it mildy in the past, but am happy to see so few complaints. Just go visit the clickbank thread, and thats all you'll see. I hope I get to see some good customer service and competent affiliate managers with CJ.

    Thanks

    nyx: you are right. however..

    How many network you know pay by euro? Undoubtedly US is still leading in terms of affiliate marketing.

    Sure there are UK networks to consider, however I found that most of them also auto-reject Asian affiliates.
