Anyone here a part of Commission Junction? If so, have you gotten paid? How much?

Also, anyone recommend a good advertiser?

yeppers over 89k last year as an incentvised site tooo ~

well listed as an incentivised site after getting caught with over 4600+ C2it

sign ups in one month lol

Yep, use it myself, earned a few hundred dollars off them in the last year!

WOW Jay, $89,000 ....excellent stuff and heres me made up with getting a $95 sale earlier this week!

Best Tip for using cj links do NOT be a banner farmer use text link as the search engines will pick up those key words from text links and get you a high rating in the search engines like

jaydillar

is now listed as a web directory on MSN

I actually started my own web directory/shopping portal about 12 months ago, with loads of links to CJ, Trade-Doubler, etc.

But I haven't bothered updating it of late and lost interest, I still get a few sales/sign-ups though

Here, take a look

But its nothing special, as I'm afraid my web building capabilities stop with HTML editors, lol

looks good brian ~>

you should also consider your own domain they are only 9 bucks a year and a cheap host with like a 30 buck a year ad free hosting package

as top level domains get higher listing and preference in search results as well ~

if your wanting to get better listed in search engines

Yeah, I was planning on doing that when I first started, but I got a bit side-tracked and haven't really updated it for a while!

My just get my a**e into gear and sort it out one day (lol, I've been saying that for 12 months)

Whats commission junction?

Its a Affiliate program!

They are just basically middle-men to advertisers.

You sign-up for them, they have 100's of excellent advertising opportunities, i.e. Shopping, Credit Cards, Gambling sites, etc.

You choose a advertiser you want to throw adverts for on your webpage/newsletter, etc and they handle all the earnings you make!

Much easier than clicking emails, etc, lol...

I love that place~~They have got to be one of the best affliate programs out there

Sherry, another good one is TradeDoubler, but its mostly UK affiliates/advertisers so not much use to yourselves I guess?

I'm not even sure if they payout non-Europeans!

Yepper! My husband, Ken, is building his own portal and has been working on it for a year now!! He's with CJ and Click Bank.....

I can't wait to reap the benefits!!

You can see some of it here!

SoftwareMiser

He also promotes new software....

They don't, Bri. I checked them out when I was clicking through your site one night.

Not much use for us Americans......only Europeans.

Robyn, ask him does he advertise for CoffeeCup software, I've had a few sales off them recently, I actually made $95 commission on a sale just this week nearly breaks my record for one sale!

Another excellent one off Commission Junction is Crucial.com, they sell memory for puters, digi cameras, etc, I've had a few sales off them as well

Thanks Brian~~I heard really good things about that place, so I signed up but they will not accept my, cuz I'm from the U.S.

Do you use linkshare Sherry?

They are my second favorite Amy

I know he does for Coffe Cup, but I'm not sure about crucial.

He's not advertising yet becasue he's still working on getting the site up and then he wants to move to a better server. I think he's gonna go with No Joke Hosting.

You can actually get top level domain names for less than what you have quoted. I would look around before you commit to one place. I have not paid $9 or more for a domain in over 4 years. So look around and you can find reputable companies that will do it.

At least the fees are not the same as they used to be. Back in 1997 even there was only one registrar and the price was $20 per year with a 2 year minimum.

several years ago, I used them. Not anymore. I have been able to move to bigger and better things. But it is great when you have several clients looking for that king of stuff and will allow you to sign them up under you. Boy those were good days. Just now days are better.

I think that is great that you can make so much off of it. Congrats, I have made very little, but working as hard on this as I am other projects.

You know I would like to get more sign-ups from their advertisers. They have so many. I actually redid a site I didn't bother with for one advertiser. I have to check them again. An incentisized site would be good but that would require programming and database work and at this point I am not skilled in that just basic page layout. I would rather do it all myself and would be evern better if I could get a grade in school for it since I returned to school to learn this stuff.

Well I'd like to try out this commission junction so the first one to PM me their link I will sign up under them. I hope that's ok to do here because I know we aren't aloud to post referal links here but I'm specifically asking to pm me one so I'm sure it would be ok.

Thanks

Ken

anyone have a link to the terms? I want to know if it is ok to add a label such as "sponsored link" near the ad.

I use them and are not real happen with them. the service is declining quickly.

Yes, I can recommend it as a good advertiser.
They pay me everytime I want. But there is one problem. They don't use wire transfer for europe, only checks.

they are best aff program, i got 4 checks from them, now is minimum payout 50$ but ok

Only Check

I have no problem to monetize my check from CJ, and it is BIG

This is very true. You will have much better luck. In the long run you will find that you will get better responses as well. People are just not interested in looking at banners anymore I am very surprised they continue to be put on sites the way they are.

they don't accept signups from Indonesia

You may find out that you may have that problem with several affiliate programs. Have you conducted a search and come up with anything at all.

This is one of the downsides of affiliate programs. These companies for whatever reason and I am sure that some are for good reasons, do not always allow people in all areas of the world to become affiliates. The best thing you can do in this case is to make people aware of it.
