Yes Hello I Am A Newbie To Both Commission Junction And This Forum And Today I Logged Into My CJ Account And $50 was missing so i went to my messages and it was because and advertiser dropped me why would they do this should I worry or is this common Any Help Is Much Appreciate.
The only times that I am familiar with that an advertiser would do this is possible click fraud-- but no worries-- chances are that CJ.com would have banned you by now if that was the case. The other issue could be that the item was returned or cancelled or charged back against the advertiser-- as they say-- dung rolls down hill so they take it back out of you commission. Take for example women's designer shoes. Since women cannot try the shoes on before buying them they don't know that it doesn't feel comfortable on their feet until their package arrives and they try them on. Women's designer shoes, from what I've heard, is one of the most returned items on the internet for that reason. So the thing that got you $50 could have simply been returned. I've found that a lot of advertisers are nice and a lot are not (being egotists like server admins in game servers lol). The one that dropped you could have been one of those not nice ones-- thinking that they have plenty of affiliates and don't need to deal with one that complains to them. Sad-- but possibly true. I hope this helps.
They believe your leads are of low quality, you are not making them enough money to keep their stats up so that they will appeal to better affiliates. There can be a lot of reasons.
Internetmarketingiq, This has me wondering-- Because I've only been a publisher not an advertiser-- Are advertisers limited on the number of publishers they can have for the money they pay to be apart of the affiliate program? If not then there's no harm in keeping a lot of people publishing your ads because the more lines you throw in the water-- the more fish you catch. I find some people will reject you for no good reason and others are quick to sign up anyone. They must be limited on the number of publishers they can have, no?
