I have an account with CJ and have made nothing with it, even though they have a good number of well known companies, it still takes a while for someone who is just starting to get people to click on these ad’s.

I didn’t know that they were banning accounts like this, I’ll have to keep an eye on mine I guess. Hopefully they don’t ban it, but if they do I’ll probably try someone else for a while.

The “mysterious ways” of CJ have so far kept me out of affiliate marketing through them. It’s too bad there isn’t an honest and forthright service that would be interested in “small-time” start-up guys. You only get big cients by helping the small fry grow big, or so I would think. I’d be happy totrade some percentage for support … until I became big … in which case I wouldn’t need the same level of support.

With respect to those who tune in just to see failure, you should be familiar with the breed, Tyler. Ask your dad about the “crab mentality” … it’s a very common explanation for how things happen here in the Philippines.

A low-sided basket of crabs is on the table in the market. The crabs are all crawling around, trying to climb up the side of the basket and make an escape. The first time I saw this I wodered how many crabs per day the merchant “lost” due to escapes. The answr? None.

The other crabs, seeing one of their number actually making progress up the basket side will pull him down, invariably … it’s fascinating to watch … they spend their time as un-paid prison guards making sure none of their fellow crabs can scale the walls. The whole group could easily escape by climbing up on each other, going over the side and then pulling the last few out … but instead they chose to dedicate what’s left of their lives to making sure no one else attains any success.

It is readily apparent there are both humans and crabs on the ‘Net

Your topic scared me, I thought you really get banned from CJ, anyways, my experience with CJ has been not-so-bad.

I haven’t checked yet, but since I haven’t used cj in a long time I’m happy enough to reapply to the few merchants I was using.

It wouldn’t surprise me if any of the traffic sent to the merchants since reactivation was not credited. Definitely a case of “check and make sure”
