Tracking different sites.

    I just recently started to run CJ on different sites (the same programs) and I'm trying to figure out how to track it within CJ to see which sites perform the best.
    I started using the SmartZones, but I have no idea how I need to set it up. CJ asks for much more information then I need (like link type?) and then theres that weight thing that I have no clue about.
    All I need to do is track the commissions for different sites so CJ will generate some sort of report for me at the end of the month. How should I do this?

    Best way to do it is to create additional sites under Account -> Web site Settings -> Add A New Web Site.

    Ah. That makes much more sense. Didn't realize I could add more sites, but then again why wouldn't they allow that..
    I guess my next question would be what is the point of all the smartzone settings then? To track creatives across the same site? Seems like the ads should already do that...unless you're trying to track different areas of your site.
    Thx for the quick answer :)

    Smart Zones are stupid... they are nothing more than a lazy man's way to rotate ads (you don't need to do the rotation on your end).

    Wow. And here I thought they had some value to them..
    I can't believe CJ would offer a way to rotate ads..it seems like if you were making any sort of money with them at all (ie the publishers they care about) you could figure that out on your own..
