Affiliate marketing is a prolific way of earning some side income online. Affiliate marketing companies have come up with different affiliate programs that they promote on their platforms.

Commission Junction (CJ) is one of those companies that we have in the affiliate marketing business today. It is among the largest, oldest, and best affiliate marketing companies in the industry.

Being a company that started in 1998, it has grown up with 15 offices in different parts of the world, with more than 3000 merchants. CJ is one of the best affiliate networks suitable for even those that are new in the industry and you can choose to join either as an advertiser or a publisher.

Features of CJ Affiliate

Here are the features of CJ Affiliate:

1. Real-Time Reporting

This affiliate company is known for being up to date with its analytics reporting. At any time, you can see the analytics being reported without refreshing the page. As you navigate the dashboard, you can tell how your campaigns are performing.

This makes it easy for you to decide on areas that need some adjustments or how you should re-strategize your campaigns.

2. Chance to Select Your Campaigns

CJ Affiliate allows you to choose the products of advertisers you will like to promote and where you will like them to be displayed. This is unlike several affiliate networks that just push ads to your site without you having a say about if you are satisfied with them or not.

They have so many big brands and you can easily choose the companies that you will like to represent. You will find brands like Zappos, Verizon, and Barnes among its big brands.

3. CJ Affiliate Programs

You can find the affiliate programs when you click on the advertisers’ button at the top menu. There, you can search for affiliate programs of your choice using keywords or your choice of advertisers.

You can run your search based on categories, advertiser type or status, country, currency, or even language. You can filter advertisers based on the profitability of their ads. Publishing for advertisers that earn high also helps you earn well.

4. Star Publishers

If you are a publisher and can create high-quality content that earn you traffic of up to 10,000 views a month, you can join its Content Certified Program.

When you join that platform, you can connect with more than 600 top brands. You will also get pre-approved access to advertisers for top rates.

Thank you Israel. Question: In the case of having more than one niche website, would I need to apply to join for each website separately?

You don't have to apply for each website separately, RussellO1. You can reach the support team that you have two websites of different niches. And they will give you the right direction on how you can promote CJ affiliate products with those sites. Thanks for asking!

One thing to remember about CJ is that if you do not have a sale over a 6-month period, you will be removed from the network and all programs on the network. You will lose any unpaid commissions you have earned then too.

Not as bad as Amazon, but not as good as some other networks that don't have that requirement.

That's very true and accurate, Jean! I could remember this happened to me the very first time I got approved as an affiliate. It was really a bad experience for me. I deeply appreciate your comment!

Is Amazon another affiliate network? Do we really need an affiliate network before we can do affiliate marketing?

No, Amazon is a single merchant, not an affiliate network. An affiliate network offers multiple programs through one interface.
