Two Websites with CJ

Discussion in 'Commission Junction' started by funmagic, Mar 2, 2009.

    Is it OK to put links from CJ on more than one website at the same time ?

    One site is entertainment career based and the other is automotive based.

    Thanks

    Yes. Add your new site to your account, and get a new PID for it.

    Account > Web Site settings > Add A New Web Site

    I guess that you can track which web site made you sale (PID = Publisher ID) But i would like to called it as tracking id

    The PID is assigned by CJ automatically for each of your sites.... when you create a link, there will be a drop down box where you select which website you're putting the link on. The PID in the link will change depending on which of your sites you select.

    It's all automatic. As long as you've added your new site to your account, and select it from the drop down box when you create a new link - then you'll be fine.

    OK .... thanks. I went back and looked in my account and each site has a different PID #. Will sales and leads still be valid from another PID # ?

    Even if you use the wrong PID (e.g Site A's PID on Site B) you'll still get a commission, you just won't know which site it's come from.

    You can also use SID to track your commissions.
    e.g. I use subdomains a lot, all of which have the same PID. But I use a separate SID for each subdomain.
