I'm a big fan of CJ, one of the only US/UK networks that actually pay me in Aussie Dollars off the bat.
But I wouldbut I wouldn't spend PPC $ on them
. All depends on the product. Been driving a lot of PPC to CJ merchants for nearly 2 years now, and haven't looked back.

Good for you man.
I have other networks similar to CJ that have converted much better for me, so I plan on expanding on those this year.
It's not the network, it's the product. And if something is different in tracking between two networks, let the network know. Most likely it's an implementation bug on the merchant's side - The network has a huge incentive to track, and in CJ's case, they make up to 30% of the commission as a fee. If a conversion doesn't track, CJ doesn't get their 30%.Good for you man.

I know it's product related, but I have tried close to one hundred different merchants there with hundreds of thousands of products through blackhat. The conversion rate has always been piss-poor across the board, like 0.1% across products/merchants.
My other networks bring me in 2-3% conversions across their thousands of products and merchants. But that's my experience. I have heard others have luck with CJ, others not. With blackhat it's just a shotgun tactic anyway.
I'm sure that with the right approach, PPC can be very profitable with CJ products. I just personally have more faith in my other options.
Hi Guys I'm a newbee . I'm getting discouraged with CJ. hundreds and hundreds of clicks and 100s of waisted dollars and all I got a three commisions for 28 bugs. that sucks. I recently send them an email for a bug with a link but I never had a response....

Well, how are you driving ttaffic? Badly targeted PPC can do that to you on anything.Hi Guys I'm a newbee
They suck. You just have to have an account to be an ebay affiliate. If you had a bunch of old niche sites that you suddenly wanted to monetize, they will have a merchant, but if you don't have that, there are better payouts and better support available.
CJ is great. The Ebay affiliate program rocks. Also, there are many great web hosting affiliate programs on there as well.
CJ works well for me but like others said, check out AzoogleAds. Get accounts with both and test their merchants on your sites and see what ones perform the best, what works well on one site might not work so well on another. Hope this helps!
