Comments on: Rapid Response from Commission Junction

I think Commision Junction has a horrible interface. NOT user friendly at all. It's too bad it can't be more like Linkshare (Link Synergy). With Linkshare, your commission earnings and reports are display as soon as you login, and you don't have to fill out and email a complex W8 Tax Form (all is done by answering a few questions online). Not to mension it has Link Builder which makes it much easier without having to hunt down specific product links. I also had emailed CJ support regarding not being able to view any CJ advertiser links, and although their response was fairly quick, they weren't able to help me, or even make any suggestions that would help me. I am thinking of dropping them all together.

Dan, You are filling out a CJ registration form for somebody else? I hope you have the permission of the affiliates to make the registration on their behalf and at least send them CJ’s legal agreement (TOS) that you agreed to on their behalf as well.

The Tax ID is needed for verification and/or Tax reasons. They have to have it at the latest, if an affiliate earns over $600 in any given calendar year.

Phone number is needed for contact purposes, especially if the email is misspelled.

The information about the affiliates website is needed, because many advertisers do not accept affiliates without a website.

The incentive question is also very important. It is for many advertisers a deal breaker, if this is set to YES.

Keep in mind that you sign people up to the whole CJ Network and not just to your program. If you don’t like this, maybe an in-house tracking solution would better fit your needs.

Why the heck are you registering affiliates anyway? Are they unable to do this themselves? I never heard of anybody who was doing this.

Cheers!
Carsten

has anyone else noticed that the registration process for new affiliates at CJ is one of the most demented forms they have ever had the misfortune to have to fill out?
Unfortunately I am registering other people as CJ affiliated so that they can earn commissions on my products – and really (*$*#^&*& with practice you can do it in a few minutes but the first time through it useually takes people about 15 to 20 min if they make it. Tax IDs, phone numbers, websites, even ‘do you offer incentives’ questions. Give me a break! And cj have been totally unresponsive to my questions about it !

Have you noticed that it has been going down constantly lately? I’ll be in it several times a day and all of a sudden, boom gone. Annoying.

CJ has for me been great when it comes to providing customer support.
It is commendable to know that they take the time address queries regarding their service
They probably use google alerts to notify them
