I am a cj publisher. First my account was deactivated last year for some reason. But they sent $227.04 money to me by check after deactivating my account. Cj is excellent and good. Now I sign up with a new email address and running their ads.

Keshav, I’ve been with them for some time and they canceled my account today. Actually they wrote me that my account would be canceled due to dormancy, if I won’t start making money. I am probably missing something and didn’t grasp that money is growing on every tree around and I wasn’t harvesting it. I was so angry that I told them to cancel the account.
I have a blog about investing into stocks at http://hellosuckers.net which is kind of my personal journal about investing into stocks and I could find only a few advertisers on CJ related to investing. Mostly they were paying upon a sale of their product. As a newbie I really didn’t find out how I should promote those more than I already did. So CJ doesn’t sound like a good choice when they push you to something you are unable to affect effectively. Maybe if you sell electronics or have an online shop it may work, but having some ads on my blog I considered as a supplemental part of the web.
Now I am looking for something else, where I will have some freedom.

I am really worried because i have joined CJ today only. But i am hearing from you guys that CJ is not meant for bloggers.

Moreover My blog is new and does not have much traffic so please suggest me some best paying affiliate programmes that can generate some good income for my blog.

Google is also not approving my blog for Adsense because of unknown issue. Plese help me..

My URL is http://theartofstart.blogspot.com/

Thanks all for sharing your experience..

If you check on browser there should be appear your reference PID… Some are showing, but many are not. Many of the reference URL link their provide to us only showing that the source of reference comes from CJ site only. Example : http://www.creativejobscentral.com/photography-jobs/?channel=cj
While it should be :
http://www.creativejobscentral.com/photography-jobs/?ref=yourPID
They are collecting money from our sites.. If you know what i mean…

I was interested in CJ as an affliate provider but, when I went to their sign-up page, the requirements said “No Blogs allowed”: https://www.cj.com/advertisers/application_process.html

Am I going to the wrong page? Although, truth be told, most users here don’t give a ringing endorsement of CJ so I may not bother…

Cheers,
Richard

You are right sir, They deactivated my account also because they have terms for deactivating a account which remains inactive for a long time. Later on i try to reactive my account And now its working.
Cj has some lead programme which pays for a free signup.
I earned good amount in those programmes.

I am not a cj fan… I have had serious issues with commissions not showing up… i.e. people joining websites that should yield anywhere from 1 – 8 dollars getting me nothing. Like their joining never happened. :P

Does anyone have feedback on an affiliate company called PayDot.com?

I have a hard goods products (dog lover’s greeting card packs.) I have several companies interested in selling them on an affiliate basis.

This company (PayDot.com) looks good on the outside – I would so appreciate a current user’s perspective before I spent a lot of my time getting this up and running. I’ve been burned by affiliate programs before. That’s how I found my way here!

thank you.

Viveca

P.S. Also open to other recommendations. Is there another product or service I should contact?

I dont like Cj that much. ive been a member for about 8 months or so and I find I get rejected from the majority of the programs i apply to. I may not have the great website but i do have a decent page rank & steady feed subscriber base and i’ll never understand how these advertises choose who they will allow their ads to appear on.

I mean I ve seen some horrible sites that get accepted by every paidTo site there is. such as blogs still hosted on 3rd party services that cover their entire blogs with ads left right and center and then just post copy/pastes from news sites.

@Eyer

no there is no specific requirement like that.
in fact you can apply without a website.. but its better to have one to get more advertisers.

Is there a minimum requirement for CJ to accept your application? A page rank requirement or Alexa rank?

I signed up to CJ about 1 month ago – I have a successful russian watch retail site and orient watch site – I linked though CJ to kenmar watches who sell orient and other top brands at good prices. so far i have had 250 clicks and one sale which gives me 6.60 commission. Think I’ll try and buy a watch from kenmar and see if CJ give me the commission. Anyone know what CJ charge to advertisers?

Commission Junction is a scam. That’s why the clowns already have class actions against them. They withhold payments, they steal commissions, and find creative ways of not giving you the credit for your sales. How do I know this? Because all my sales were initiated BY ME with my clients. When you go to inquire, they unceremoniously close your account. Isn’t that NICE of them? They have an A rating with the BBB because they paid dues to become a member, therefore, they are given the BBB free pass. It’s a joke. AVOID these thieves

I’m using a lot of affiliate networks, and recently signed-up to commission junction, and to be honest, it really looks great to me. I’ve manage to find some really good offers I could use and possibly convert very well..
I’m also using Adsense and Amazon, never enough monetizing… :)

I was just deactivated by Cj. What a major waste of time. I will never go near that site again. And, they kept the piddly amount of money I made. Maybe that is the real business – ripping us off one at a time … those little bits of money and the interest does add up.

I am going to call their PR number on Monday – they do seem to be available to talk to the Press – and tell them I am writing a story about how they are ripping us off.

Then I will make time to write that article …

I love CJ, I have had okay success with it. About $200 a month. Which is great considering that I don’t really have a strategy other than picking programs that will be useful to my visitors.

I am going to start to use Linkshare more and check out the other programs mentioned here.

Ad Sense does not show up on my websites, which is really odd. Works fine with my blogs…

I have has the same experience with CJ. Lots of impressions but hardly ever any clicks and never any conversions. THey deactivated my account. I just now am reactivating it and the same trend seems to be falling into place.

Being an advertiser on CJ, I can say that our fees are paid out like clockwork as well. Not once have I received complaint that fee payment is late, or takes too long. I believe CJ does a great job at paying commissions owed.
