I noticed an increase in my CJ sales today and wasn't really sure where it came from. After digging around I noticed that there were some new sales posted to the end of November... Here's a shot: I've never had sales delayed that far in terms of posting. I wonder if more will show up over time... 2 more days until the 10th and sales lock, so we'll see. Has anyone else seen sales pop up like this?
It's the November withholding credit. On or about 8th of each month, the credit is posted and applied to the last day of the previous month. eBay: "The eBay affiliate program withholds 6.5% of revenue from each Winning Bid posted to Commission Junction in order to account for any credits that may occur from successful auctions. ...we compare your actual monthly credit amount with the standard 6.5% withholding rate, and true up your account to accurately represent the traffic you have driven."
