I hope you have gone through the previous parts of this article. If you haven’t already then I suggest you to go through that before reading this part.

So you are a CJ Affiliate! Aren’t you? And you know how CJ Works and also aware of the different types of affiliate programs on CJ. Now it’s time to apply to various merchant programs within the CJ.

Apply To Merchant’s Affiliate Programs

Once you added all your web sites to your CJ account you can start applying for different merchant programs. Don’t add spammy sites only add web sites/blogs which have some quality content or information or service. And never build a web site for affiliate marketing alone.

To get started click the Get Links tab on CJ Account Manager and you can see different categories now select the categories related to your web site or enter the keywords related to your web site in the search field. Once you enter a category you can see 100s of advertisers related to your niche. It’s difficult to select the best one from it. But CJ makes that easy for you. When you click a category they list all the advertisers in that category with their performance.

Commission Payout – An amount of income received by a publisher for some quantifiable action such as selling an advertiser’s product and/or service on the publisher’s Web site.

Click-through - Also known as a click. The action a consumer takes when they are referred from a Web site through a link or advertisement and is taken to another Web site. Click-through ratio is the percentage of click for the number of advertising impressions displayed.

Cost per action (CPA)- A metric for online advertising where a rate is set for every action that is taken by an end-user.

Cost per thousand impressions (CPM)- A metric for online advertising where a rate is set for every thousand impressions.

Conversion rate- The percentage of visitors who take a desired action. The action that determines conversion is determined by the advertiser and may be a sale on the advertiser’s Web site, a completed lead form, or another action.

Average earnings per 100 clicks (EPC)- An exclusive metric of the CJ Marketplace given for publishers, advertisers, and individual ads. EPC is a relative rating that illustrates the ability to convert clicks into commissions. For publishers, an advertiser’s EPC shows how well that advertiser converts traffic into actual sales or leads. EPC will also help you see what creative is working and what needs changing. For advertisers, a publisher’s EPC shows how well that publisher sends relevant traffic to advertisers’ sites. EPC is published in two forms, 7-day and 3-month.

Impression- The viewing of an advertising banner, link, or product.

So I suggest you to choose an advertiser which offers High Commission Payouts, High Network Earnings (at least a 3 Bar), and choose a brand that sells itself e.g eBay, Yahoo, Apple e.t.c.
