CJ Performance Just Keeps Getting Worse!

**KentuckySlone** · Feb 20th, 2009, 12:49 pm

CJ just seems to keep getting worse and worse for me. So far this month I have had over 200 clicks without a single cent being made. I noticed things going downhill last fall. Before that I was making anywhere from 80 to over 100 every month and a few months much more than that. During the past few months I have been lucky to make 5 or 10 dollars!

I am just about ready to remove all of my CJ ads completely and I am thinking that I should have done it a long time ago. Other affiliate programs I am using are still performing normally. If it was just a simple matter of the cookies being blocked or something like that then I would figure I would be seeing the same thing with them.

Not too long ago CJ raised their minimum payout from $25 to $50. I am stuck at around 34.00 now and it is starting to look like I will never reach that $50 and may just wind up taking a loss on it.

Hi,
What offers are you running on your site? It could be something to do with the product or service you are promoting. I assume this because you are getting clicks . You have a problem with conversion..

I do not believe I am having problems with conversions. I have been using CJ for several years and have always done really well with them - until this past fall. I feel like there is something wrong with their tracking. My earnings changed drastically and all at once. I was making an average of 80 to over 100 dollars per month and with absolutely no changes I suddenly started getting less than 10 or 15 - I think that was in September.

I have around a dozen different websites on which I have been promoting a lot of different services and products for CJ. I am also using AdSense, Offers Quest, ShareASale and Amazon and during this time period all of these programs have performed the same as usual or better while all the CJ stuff just gets worse.

I know that they have a policy of doing that and I dont really understand why. I know of several people who have had their accounts disabled for this reason and for them it was because they had signed up and then never got around to doing much with it.
