Commission Junction – CJ

Filed under Affiliate Programs
Commission Junction is one of the best with the most companies available. While they offer lots of opportunities they lack one main feature, customer service. You can NEVER get hold of anyone and their contact system has been down over a year. While they lack customer service they do pay and pay on time. Also they seem (in my opinion) very fair in paying out and usually resolve issues quick. You are better off contacting the account rep of the company you are having the issue with rather than CJ.
There are literally thousands of companies that you can get affiliate contracts with. Some of the best ones are Buy.com, Best Buy.com, 6pm.com, Snapfish.com, Seehere.com, Restaurant.com, Old Navy.com (and the entire Gap group), Borders.com, Upromise, and ELF Cosmetics.com.
***TIP
You can mass apply to a lot of companies at once by selecting the box above the list of companies in search mode. Check that box and click APPLY. I highly recommend using a Gmail for them as you will receive a TON of emails if you get lots of contracts.
GET LINKS
To find links click the “Get Links” tab at the top, search the company you want and select the banner. Most companies offer the “Build a Link” option where you can use the URL from the site to create a link. To get to the “Build a Link” option click on the company name in search mode and look to the left.
REPORTS & PAYMENT
To see how your promotions are doing, click on the REPORTS link at the top, normally this will pull up transaction reports. Click on “By Advertiser” or “By Event Date” to see the break down. They close on the 10th of the month so all items in the Closed column should be paid. Checks are normally cut by the 15th. They also offer direct deposit.
