has anyone got paid this month by cj? has anyones balance decreased yet?

Nope, my commissions locked and everything, and they asked about my traffic source and everything checked out...

Normally the 20th every month, not sure what's going on. I sent an e-mail today asking what's up.

Glad to hear someone else has the same problem lol

my commissions locked and stuff but they sent me a notice that i was spamming yesturday and that they are canceling my agreement in 15 days. guess they are banning me.

Bummer, hadn't received any notice here. I'm definitely moving away from CJ slowly, they are way too uptight

they are too uptight but i dont know of many affiliates that will take me. do you have any recommendations.

did you get an answer to your email. i didnt get one to mine and its been over 24 hours

they like asking the sources of traffic. but it is really not a problem. Just tell them what you do.

Well were you hiding/faking/exchanging/etc. your links?

yeh i got paid like 3 days ago

EFT on the 19th this month.

$4,952.55 - OOMPHA!

$3.7k on the 19th here...I get traffic sources / we're shutting down your account from CJ on a 3-6 month clockwork...just raise hell. They haven't shut me down yet.

usually its late for new accounts i guess, my earnings were showing in locked for several days, now its showing in balance area, is it normal?

You don't need to go blackhat to make money with CJ and thus you would have no issues with their "where is the traffic coming from" questions.

I had a conference call with an AM and his boss on Friday and one of the questions they asked was how I generated traffic.

I told them that I do not divulge specifics but that if he wanted to see some of what I do to go to ezine and look up my name. The reason for the call was because I wanted to do an email campaign and highlight some of what this advertiser offered and I wanted to make sure that they were cool with it.

I sent them an example of what I was sending out and showed that it was can spam compliant... email campaign to 88,000 people approved.

Cj has issues with CL, with email spamming and such but you don't need to do that to make decent money there.

If you are going to do some of the "shadier" methods to drive traffic, just make sure that you are upfront with your AM before the process begins to cover your backside because CJ will not bust your stones unless your AM does.

I have not been paid yet, it is my first payment on a new account so hopefully it comes next week!

Everythings locked etc... Just waiting for the payment to be sent I hope soon!

i dont understnad how to hide or fake my links

what i did was i put the affiliate banner on my landing page and then spammed the hell out of my landing page on cl

I sent them an email asking when i will get paid they said

did you stop spamming craigslist?

and then this

We have to spend the time on Monday or Tuesday to see if you have stopped promoting as you were, but also to see if there are more warnings. We also have to check in with the advertiser.

Did you manage your promotions, or did someone else supply you with that?

how would i go about answering their question about who promoted.

Scream, yell, and curse a lot. I tell them it's search or mail depending. If it's search often times they will force you to tell them your keywords...so they can go look up your ads.

Tell them what fucknuts they are for stealing your money.

still waiting for cj payment, i contacted them for payment, they said something's wrong with my traffic, and they sent a quality check to the advertiser, hoping to get the answer next week, is it still pay day next week?

well they told me my payment was denied. but it still shows my money in my account.

I told them that what kind of scam are they to wait until payday to say that my account is under review for spamming. i told them that my earning from last month is different and at the very least they need to pay me for last month. they tried to say my account was new and they never paid me i told them that they pay me before last month they said that they paid me last month in october cause i wasnt caught. I said well you caught me in november so you owe me my octobers earnings that all locked and everything before you got your spamming complains. I asked for when they got the spamming complaints and they didnt answer. i told them off their last response was we are sticking with the 15 day ban and we will see if the advertiser is willing to pay you and we will know some time next week. what line of crap. they tell you they arent paying you on the day you should have gotten paid. what kind of company is this.

Never....ever....ever admit anything to those frogs! Not even if they catch you right on the dime! They will take anything you give them and run with it....If you...Hell, they try to take my money every other month no matter if I'm whitehat or Not!!! If you *admit* to breaking the rules, you're just making it entirely too easy for them...
