Is commission junction as juicy as it looks?

...be more professional says the guy with a racist sig.

thats a bit like pot calling the kettle black. You just broke out with a racist rant about fucking my sister because I'm british. Now you're calling me racist because I have a completely harmless screens shot of a captcha forming the word NIGAZ???
 


If your doing $1850 a month at CJ they probably dont even know your a publisher there

OP - CJ may do better than AdSense for you. It's definitely worth testing. If you can find an offer that is well-suited to your audience (and this is the challenge), you will likely make more than you make with AdSense.

WF tends to focus more on CPA as opposed to CPS.

Also - CJ isn't keen on publishers masking the traffic source. If you have organic / SEO traffic, you may be OK with this. If you are paying for traffic, you probably don't want the merchants to see your sources.
 
CJ is a great network. I've worked with them on both the advertiser and publisher side, and have nothing but good things to say about them.
 
Thanks for the feedback, maybe I should have done a poll, hardly a consensus here.... Seems like either a love em or hate em scenerio...
 
I've made money with them in the past. Just your average big cpa network nothing really special about them.
 
love CJ and never had any problems with them. I just wish they could do weeklies instead of monthly payments that would be sick
 
The challenge with CJ is they're 100% pro-advertiser and rarely if ever side with the publisher. They make their money from fees charged to use the platform. Have almost no customer service for smaller level pubs because on CJ it's expected as a merchant you manage your own account.

Because they always side with the merchant they have quite a bad reputation with larger publishers for not getting them paid. They have a massive TOS that almost everyone is violating in some way. For example I ran ppc direct to an offer, at the end of the month the merchant said I violated TOS. TOS said I needed to send to a 3rd party site/page vs. direct to their offer. They didn't say the traffic was bad and why they didn't like it. Just I violated TOS and they weren't paying. After a few calls from my atty later it got resolved. But this can be a regular occurrence with them.

With that said they have a lot of amazing merchants and as with your AM on a CPA network make the affiliate manager for the merchants your best friends and most things should go smoothly.
 
Do well with a few CJ advertisers, $XX,XXX monthly payments for a few months running now. No problems.

i work pretty closely with one particular advertiser, me and the affiliate manager chat on the phone often and he knows my promotional methods for the most part. They are cool with me and how I drive traffic, we have a strong relationship

Do you think I have to worry about CJ coming after me for some bullshit even though I have good relationships with my individual advertisers?
 
Just to comment on their coverage in the UK, they are a bit meh considering they're headlined as the world's largest affiliate network. They need to take some lessons from Amazon on how to dominate foreign space. Other than Amazon, I would assume most opt for Affiliate Window for them top retailers. You won't find them on CJ.
 
I haven't ever had any trouble with CJ at all; however, I don't use them that often and don't make much off of them. Sounds like some of the folks who have had issues have been bigger players. Also, all my traffic is straightforward and organic on any of my sites with CJ, so maybe that's a plus for me as well.

Yeah I had somethign similar with them too with one of my accounts. Sent just over 5k in leads one month and they said the advertaiser complained of some bad leads. After taking to them I got the report and they had 3 leads that came from proxies and would not pay me for the other 5k.

That sucked.
