Id avoid Commission Junction. There were times I knew I made a sale and it didn't register. I contacted them but they passed the buck to the seller. You may violate their agreement and they will close your account down like they did me. It would be nice to make side money but not through cj.com.

I've used them for years along with many others. CJ is similar to others. They want you to create a sale within your first 6 months or they may drop you. They also don't pay until you reach $100 like many others. Beware of using ads any other place than the website you signed up with. Some affiliate advertisers will let you post on social sites so be sure to read their individual policies. They want you to make sure your cookie policy and GDPR statement is first to see when someone gets to your website. Then, they want you to ad a statement that tells customers you are making money with affiliates or you may not get paid. You can find their CJ university study materials if you have time to read for hours. So far, their tracking and reporting seem to be good. All affiliate programs are quirky so try your best to follow rules and get some 'pay by lead' sales when you start to get some money on the board. You're going to need a ton of targeted traffic to make any real sales. I have a few 'direct' affiliates thru their own company that usually pay better. Contact me if you want to know what they are. 30% commissions.
