I’m lucky that I haven’t had any problems yet and I’ve been using them for a few years…but then again I’m only actively promoting one merchant through them." They're been good with me, I've been enjoying them. good read though, I e-mailed this to several friends. “I’ve recently been hearing a lot of issues with CJ.

The format of their site is bad and not very useful. I really like Commission Junction as I find their site pretty easy to use (sure they could change a few things). I have experienced the same thing on both though. I am starting a new startup that should be very profitable (maybe $20,000 a month or more in commissions) and it has been very hard trying to get affiliate managers to approve my site. I realize that the site isn't done yet but I need to be in their programs to be able to finish the site. Another problem is that many of the affiliate programs have no email (how am I supposed to contact them?). And if I contact through the merchant the email usually goes to some customer service person that hardly knows the company has an affiliate program. I would think that CJ would require affiliate managers to have their email on the site so that prospective affiliates can contact them. I think the main problem is affiliate managers because even when I can get their emails half the time they never write back. You would think that they would want as many good affiliates as possible.

My new site (click on my name) is a niche site that caters to a very particular class of video game players. I tried going the AdSense way at first but you can't make a living off of penny clicks. I signed up with CJ and Linkshare and I have started rotating aff banners on my site. The banners are getting clicks but no sales yet. I will be reviewing the programs to see which ones have the best CTR and replacing those that fail. One thing has come up though. Should I keep going the aff route or would I be better served selling sponsor spots and letting others run aff ads on my site? If I sell spots I can assure myself of a minimum income stream but I will forever be wondering if I am short-changing myself! I have just begun getting heavily into the aff marketplace.
