In this thread, I mentioned that I never use CJ (commission junction) before. A few hours I made that post, I went and sign up CJ.



The application takes 2 pages, around 1 minute. Painlessly fast.



And guess what? Approve within minutes too. I received the email from CJ with my login and password.



Once I logged in. I got pretty confused. I did not know what to do. After playing around, I finally got through it. The first step, is to select "Get Links" from the menu.



You will then be shown a big list of categories. I'm doing this for my music blog. So I select "Music" as my categories.



There are 28 affiliates for music categories alone. Because not all advertisers will accept you. So, it's wise to apply them all.



Once you applied, wait a few moments. Chances are few advertisers already accept you (while others might decline you or pending for approval). So, to get a kick start, select "By Relationship" to see which advertisers have already accepted you.



Well, 9 advertisers out of 28 accepted me. Not too bad. I'm going for any one of the affiliates first. I'm selecting "PlayPhone.com", and click "View Links" to see what this affiliates is about.



Looks like this affiliate gives away free ringtone, with $5 per sales. Good. I'm doing this for the first one. I hate the banners. I'm selecting the "Text Links" from the many options of affiliate links.



The code shows, I copy it, and paste it at my site. No hassle.



Yeah. The ads looked great, I'm sure many people will click on it.hehe.



I then checked my account hours later. And, WALAH!!



So I got my first commission It really happened within hours and I'm impressed with the results so far. And it's not so hard right?

Would love you all (who have already experience with CJ) share some feedback and comment as well as your experience. Thanks.

That's great limcs!! I hope they won't ban us again.

Do I need to maintain all my sites that use their affiliate links? Or only 1 is enough?

What's the minimum amount of money you have to earn before they can send you the check?

does it conflict with google adsense?.
Can someone make comparison within textlinkads vs cj?

Of course not. CJ is affiliate links, and not in any form of contextual advertising. Purely affiliate advertising. 100% no confict.

Textlinkads provide a continual and steady income stream, while I think CJ's income can vary greatly.

USD$25

I think I got lucky on the first day. After it, I got around 1000+ impression, 20+ clicks, 0 sales, 0 leads, which led to 0 commission :P I need to do more on tweaking the ads. Sometimes, 1 affiliate links on the sidebar, can outperform 5 affiliate links. Obviously it's a lot more tricker, and more depth compare with tweaking google adsense ads.

Totally amazing! How did you do that? Share your secret ;D
