Comments on: Commission Junction To Start Reversing Paid Out Commissions On Yahoo http://www.shoemoney.com/2006/12/01/commission-junction-to-start-reversing-paid-out-commissions-on-yahoo/ Skills to Pay the Bills Thu, 09 Feb 2012 05:45:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: HH http://www.shoemoney.com/2006/12/01/commission-junction-to-start-reversing-paid-out-commissions-on-yahoo/#comment-6628 HH Thu, 15 Mar 2007 04:56:32 +0000 http://new.shoemoney.com/?p=382#comment-6628 I had similar problems, when I was making big sales then next month they would suddenly reverse the commissions. As I was advertising through google, I always lost money due to my advertising costs and the loss of revenue due to reversed commissions. Few days back I got an email from CJ that they have terminated my Yahoo Account, and the reason given was that the last 25 transactions came from the same IP address. I was flabbergasted as how am I concerned if many people from the same IP address bought domains. They wiped away about $400 of my sales . I asked them to have a look at the IP addresses and try to see where they come from . But I was given a simple answer, that it is confidential. I spent about $300 on the Google Ads and lost about $450 due to commission reversal. There was only $40 left in my CJ Account. I was very angry and asked them to close my CJ account completely and I donated them my $40 a protest.( They offered to send me a check for that amount but I refused.) How can I deal with such a company - I could not operate in this threatful environment where you spend money on the ads and raise some revenue and you never know when and how they will come up with ways to reverse it out or close the account and swallow the whole lot. I would rather play a Roulette in a casino. It is very flimsy setup, someone clicks on your ads repeated and lol CJ would come and terminate your account !!!!!!!!! There has to be something better.

In the affiliate/publisher relationship almost ALL the risk falls on the affiliate. That is why it is such a sweet deal for companies. Being able to have cost-controlled sales is a dream for any business. So any legitimate business is going to have NO problems paying for legitimate leads. CJ should be going to the wall for the affiliates as they are the ones that ultimately drive ALL the revenue. Other companies are much better at this, I am just not sure why CJ wants to suck so hard at it. It is really dumb for an affiliate middleman like CJ to err on the side of the publisher.

They owe me only $600, but that since two months, and why? because my routing number is wrong (as they've said) but i receive with the same routing number each month cash from adsense, yeah... Strange. Than i tried to change the bankaccount, wanted to send the money to my son in Germany, cj.com told me they can change the country BUT than all my advertisers would go to the status "waiting" and a lot of them would reject me as advertiser... because my country is than outside us/canada. AHHHH, ok... i just wanted my payment to be send in another country in the century of computers, spaceships and the internet, but not change the country in which i live... cj is a totally waste of time, and i promise today were the waves are small, cj will not be #1 any longer, in max. a year from now. P.S: It took me 2 months to get that information from cj, what i wrote down in 1 min. in shoemoneys blog. I hate cj.

I´ve confess I tested it few times but it never make noise for the right reason! I have quit CJ a time ago! I was right to do so as I can see!
