I’ll do what I can, Sarah. Overall, I’ve had pretty good success with CJ as far as fairness, but this last one is the first who hasn’t come around and acted like they really cared what I did.

Really glad I found your blog because I am opening up an affiliate site and I just signed up with Linkshare and CJ. Please do more posts about your experiences with them please.

I might have explained to them that this might be my last affiliation with them…then thank them for the awesome blog material for several high traffic blogs I know of.

Actually, I got a response from them that I didn’t like, saying, kind of, that if I couldn’t prove that the sale came through a link provided by them that they didn’t have to compel an affiliate to pay. I wrote them back giving them the link, but talk about being greatly offended.

Yea, they might be waiting for a response from these clowns before responding to you.

CJ has always responded in the past; that’s why this is so odd. Now, I can’t say they’ve ever been overly helpful, but at least they respond, which lets me know they’re at least possibly looking at one of their affiliates in some fashion.

Any issues with CJ not replying in the past?

If no, they might be waiting on a response from the affiliate first also.

It’s the communications part that’s irking me the most, Dennis, and right now, the same goes for Commission Junction, who also isn’t responding to any emails.

Link attributes aside, and sire does have a point, they should at the very least reply to emails…complaint emails at that.

I’ll give some commissions slack, if the company has been good in the past; but y’all know how I feel about a lack of communication!

I know who bought the phone, so I got the receipt number & everything else.

OK, so where did you get the receipt from. I’ve made several sales and have never gotten a receipt.

Yes. Even if the affiliate code was missing, which it’s not because I got it from them, they know the sale came from online. I gave them my affiliate code along with the receipt & everything else. Since they approve every affiliate, they have to have my number in their records. Not only that, but they change up the code that one puts on the site to make some someone else can’t steal it.

I know I can be pretty thick sometimes Mitch, but if the affiliate code had a digit missing they wouldn’t be able to track it properly. So even if they had a receipt for the sale how would they know what site sent them? Or am I missing something?

They can track the sale through the receipt; remember, I had that same problem last year with the other affiliate I mentioned in this post,a nd they found it that way.

By: Sire

Sire — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 06:36:54 +0000

You would think so. Still if the affiliate part of the code didn’t embed properly they wouldn’t be able to track the sale. Stranger things have happened.
