Today I’ll be giving  a quick review of one of the, if not THE, most popular and trusted affiliate networks Commission Junction(CJ).

CJ has been around since 1998 and grew to become leaders in the industry. They provide a giant network (we’re talking tens of thousands!) of affiliate programs, from web hosting services to baby clothing, all under one umbrella giving you a better management perspective when dealing with multiple affiliate programs. Imagine having to manage 100 affiliate programs individually; not fun!

What CJ does for you is let you pick and choose what products you want to sell. They list all the affiliate programs available for a product type or category giving you an immense amount of flexibility. On top of that they render tons of stats for each program so that you make better decisions. For example, let’s say you close target on the “Consumer Electronics” category. They will then list all the sites under that category and give you some performance stats, such as EPC which is the average earning per 100 clicks, total network earning, commission percentages, commission types, etc…

Once you start getting clicks and sales you are also able to run flexible reports to give you that birds eye view you need to succeed.

Whether or not you plan on using Commission Junction, they do have something that is beneficial to all and that is Commission Junction University (CJU). CJU is a great resource for affiliates (and advertisers). The information is free and insightful so do yourself a favor and check it out now!

Wishing you all the best in your affiliate growth!
