Many here labels them scammers, I didn't believe them. Now I do.
Reviewed on 2021-03-28T22:00:13
At my previous consulting assignments, some of my ex customers have used CJ for advertising offers via affiliates.For some reason most of them have avoided CJ. Those customers have had online sales between 100 - 320 MUSD per year, of which affiliate sales was a minor part. Most sales came from SEO and SEM.
Now I thought that I would give it a try to be a publisher for companies in other geographies than where we usually work as a digital marketing and e-commerce consultants. I have an incorporated company, which in my country comes with a bit more safety in knowing that it's operated under special and stricter laws than small businesses. Ok, so I registered an account with them. I went through their tedious process of registering my company, uploaded all the required documents, uploaded the tax form (W8-BEN-E), entered the payment details. After a few days the account was approved. I even logged in to it, all looked ok. They didn't have any offers that fit my traffic sources then.
2-3 weeks later on my quest to find an affiliate offer that fit a traffic source, I logged in to my CJ account just to find that they had deactivated it. What!? They hadn't even sent me ANY form of information telling me of the deactivation. NONE!
I thought it was a mistake of course so I wanted to contact their support, but heeeey, in order to contact their support you have to login to >drumrolls< the account that they had deactivated. It is simply IMPOSSIBLE to contact them.
Publishers don't need CJ, there are other affiliate networks with better offers and where they treat their publishers well. I am amazed by that CJ is still in business. I know that I will return their favor of not treating me the right way, by contacting my previous customers, big advertisers and our partners using them, and inform them how CJ's shady business works. Since they reject affiliates and advertisers don't want them, then of course an idea could be that someone is using CJ to some sort of laundering business.
Similar to that we have stopped a BIG payment gateway at one of the biggest e-commerce groups in this part of the world to be used on their 42 sites, I look forward to tell the CEOs I have worked with, currently works with and will work with how CJ treats their publishers. NO ONE wants to be associated with such scammy operations as CJ. Unethical operations such as CJ have no rights to exist and should be put out of business.
I am ok. CJ won't be. At least we never generated any sales with them. Always something that they didn't steal any commissions, they just stole my time to sign up and go through their tedious sign-up process.
My best advise for anyone who wants to sign up with an affiliate network, is to skip CJ. It's sad to see that I couldn't set 0 stars, because this became a 1 star review and they certainly do not deserve even one star.

Impossible to use for smaller publishers
Reviewed on 2021-03-01T11:20:12
If you don’t generate constant earnings, they apply a fee to your account and take back what they should owe you until you are at zero,at which point, they deactivate your account. But you also can’t get a payout because the minimum threshold for a payout might not be reached. What a terrible system. Like they say: “the house always wins”.

They ask for $3500 in advance
Reviewed on 2021-02-03T21:40:00
They will ask you for hefty advance payment of $3500. Best part is that they also charge 30% on every transaction.They are all about the money and not about the affiliate marketing. See their rating. Total waste of time and money.
STAY AWAY!
