The EPC is a number that every affiliate program on the major affiliate networks has, its like a batting average. EPC stands for earnings per 100 clicks.

Over the past decade there have been 2 major affiliate networks that have dominated the affiliate marketing world, CJ and Linkshare. Both are very similar in functionality, allowing merchants to partner with affiliates (i.e. publishers) in order to drive sales through commission-based marketing.

The latest drama in the affiliate marketing world is Commission Junction calling up PepperJam’s affiliate management clients to basically tell them to drop Pepper Jam management due to the fact that Pepper Jam has launched a competing affiliate network called: The PepperJam Network. Here the issue…PepperJam manages affiliate programs for merchants in CJ, yet they [...]

Here's my proof of payment for Commission Junction & ShareaSale. My CJ check is for $67.87 and my ShareaSale if for $257.07.

After a little research, I've determined that Commission Junction (a site that I mentioned in one of my previous posts) is one of the best sites to sign up for if you're into affiliate marketing, and want to sell real, tangible products. They have a listing of a ton of companies whose products you can promote, ranging from clothing to ringtones to electronics, and everything in between. And these are well know companies, like Old Navy, NewEgg, and Apple. The interface of the website isn't the easiest to use, but it gets the job done. It's easy to find good banners and links for your site. You can see a couple that I added in the sponsored section on the right hand side of my blog.You first need to submit your website, which they check for quality.

Commission Junction is another advertiser that I've been playing with. It's been ok so far, I've made about $90 from them to date. Commission Junction is what they call a "pay-per-action" advertiser whereas other companies like Google Adsense are pay-per-click. Obviously if you're website reader is performing some sort of action, it pays a lot better. For the most part some sort of transaction is taking place. The customer is signing up for a service, or he's buying something. In return, you get a commission.Some of the advertisers I'm currently using are: Comcast, Stubhub.com, and FreeCreditReport.com. It's tough with a blog to convince readers to sign up for something. I think it'd be a lot easier for deal websites like Fatwallet.com where readers are going there to look up good deals on products. These guys are already intending to buy something afterall.Fatwallet is a great example. Look at their cashback directory (here). Assuming for each cashback rebate that t

First of all, I will talk a little about of my September Contest, the number of participants is too low. To whom that not know nothing about it, I will give 5 Oficial t-shirts of the Christ Redemeer Statue at Rio de Janeiro. All you need to do is subscribing my FEED and post a comment informing the size of yours T-shirt S, M, or L.Ok, returning to the main subject of this post, at the beginning I was focused on turn me partner of GoDaddy and I did not give much importance to the site of Commission Junction, but after 1 week, when I received my approval in GoDaddy's Program, I started to explore the site in more details. The Site allows you choice between various affiliate programs categories, allowing you to choose a company affiliate program that best complement your site and make sense with the context. After choose the affiliate program and to be approved, you will have the option of using many kinds of products, since banners, text links, all with the option of obtaining the HTML

Primeiro quero dizer que não estou ganhando nada da Commision Junction para falar sobre eles neste post. Vamos lá!Para mim tem sido muito interessante e proveitoso essa minha busca dos 5.000 Dólares por mês, claro que com 1 mês e meio de Blog, ainda nem cheguei perto da minha meta, mas ainda tenho tempo. Sei que há 2 semanas mais ou menos escrevi sobre como obtive o meu próprio nome de domínio e que havia realizado o registro no GoDaddy. Neste mesmo dia, eu me inscrevi no programa de parcerias do GoDaddy. Na verdade, é necessário se inscrever no programa de parcerias do Commission Junction, uma empresa com o selo ValueClick, e líder global de propaganda vinculada através de canais de redes de parceiros. Bom, no início estava focado em me tornar parceiro do GoDaddy e então não dei muita importância ao site da Commission Junction, mas depois de 1 semana, quando chegou a minha aprovação no programa do Godaddy, comecei a explorar o site da Commission Junction em mais deta

I was at CJ U EU Thursday and Friday, and would just like to say a quick ‘Thank You’ to all those at Commission Junction, the conference was exceptionally good, with a wide varied range of excellent speakers, some great seminars and some good opportunities for Networking!. Tim Waterstone (Founder of Waterstones Books Stores) spoke at the event and gave an exceptional motivational speech, on what key characteristics you require to be a great entrepreneur. It’s a bit late now, but if you are interested in finding out a little more on CJU, here’s a link.

Sometime ago I signed myself up for 2 more programs that have the potential to make me good money. This is the first article of 2 I will be writing on these programs.Commission JunctionCommission Junction was the first of the 2 programs I signed up to, this an Affiliate Marketing program, where you get paid per sale or lead rather than per click.How it worksOnce you've signed up and your blog or website has been accepted, you can search for advertisers you want to display on your site. You can search for advertisers in a number of ways, by category, by keyword search and by advertiser name. Each advertiser offers a different value for a sale/lead, some offer a percentage of the sale value and some a fixed value per sale/lead. Once you've found an advertiser whose product you want to advertise, you have to apply to the program, some will accept you staight away while others will manually verify your sites suitability and either accept or deny you. When you've been accepted by a progr

The other day I started telling you about the 2 new money programs I had signed up to starting with Commision Junction, today I'm going to tell you about the 2nd program.AdbriteAdbrite is a text link ad service, where you can choose how much to charge for a link on a per day, per week or per month basis. After signing up for a publisher account all you have to do is decide how many links you want to display and how much you want to charge, then copy and paste a small snippet of HTML code to your template that will handle ad serving, billing and sales. While you're waiting for an advertiser to purchase a link you can choose to display network ads which you are paid per click at a price defined by Adbrite. As well as text links you can also choose to have interstitials, which displays a full page ad when your site is first opened. Adbrite also offer a referral program with buttons like the one below, to allow others to signup and you get a share of the profits made by the referee.The l

Commission Junction was one of the earliest money making programs that I joined when I first started this blog and so far it hasn't made me a penny. For more information on Commission Junction please see my original post. I believe there are a couple of reasons for this;Promoting the wrong productsNot having a focused approach to promoting productsTrying to promote too many productsEven though I've yet to make any money from Commission Junction yet, I still think there is potential there. I have been getting clicks they just haven't been converting to leads or sales, to solve this I need to;Choose a single product to promote instead of manyChoose a product that match the topic of this blog.Create a plan for marketing this productSo the first thing I have to do is select the best product to promote for this site and that will be my aim for next week. Once I've chosen this product I will create a new plan for marketing it and I will let you know how it goes.Advertisement: Save money

In my post Commission Junction Revisited I stated that one of the reasons I wasn't making any money with Commission Junction was that I was trying to promote too many products. To remedy this I have chosen to focus my attention on marketing KeyCompete, see my last post for more details of KeyCompete. For the next month I am going to concentrate my efforts on KeyCompete once the month is up I will review the results and either continue promoting the product or move onto something else. I will of course keep you updated with my progress.

If you haven't already read about Commission Junctions' actions with regard to the new Pepperjam network, follow this link: -commission-junction-act-fairly-break-the-law-or-simply-overstep-its-power-against-pepperjam/ Frankly, I’m outraged. As a competitor of Pepperjam and also an admirer of what they have accomplished, I am just totally outraged that CJ would be the least be worried about a brand new network and take such drastic, bullying action! Who’s next? Me-PartnerCentric? Forge? AvantLink? AMWSO? They don’t like something we do, and they tell our clients they can’t work with us?!?!! How many OPMs in the space, including Pepperjam have generated millions in revenues for CJ by proactively running excellent affiliate programs, increasing sales and thereby in
