With CJ, you must register every page in which you want to include affiliate links. For example, you must register domain.com, domain.com/page1, domain.com/page2, etc. When creating a link, make sure you indicate which page your link will be in. For instance, when creating an affiliate link for advertiser 1 and if you want it to appear on domain.com/page1, make sure you select domain.com/page1 from the drop down menu in the "create-link-wizard".

are you sure you have to register every page? If i have 200 pages on my site and im displaying the ad on right column of every page i have include all 200 pages? sounds a bit too much.

I only have my domain included. What is the process to add referral url in your page?

Ah, thanks everyone! I'm happy to say I just got my first commission. 79 bucks!

Wow that's nice Shaun. How did u earn your first commission?

I have had 143 clicks this month and no commission. I have not earned a single dime ever online so far. with cj i have 256 click and 17000 impressions and i'm still sitting $0.00. What am i doing wrong?

Its nice to hear people having success online but I'm still not having any success.

I've never had to register every page. I just register each domain and when I create a link I apply it to the domain for tracking. I've never had any problems doing it that way.

Webdev, are you earning anything with AdSense? Surely your site should be bringing in something from that. As someone said earlier programming sites are often harder to monetize but I would think you would have SOMEthing by now.

nope nothing yet. i made $3.00 on my adsense to this date where most are my own clicks. in the last month i have 5 clicks. my CTR is .91% with 6,603 impressions to date..really low and i have not made a sale on my hosting ads.

My php site google stats - this is since the first day it went online..starting may 12

2,509 Visits
1.92 Pages/Visit
71.78% Bounce Rate
4,810 Pageviews
00:01:45 Avg. Time on Site
83.18% % New Visits

Search Engines (google) 2,050 (81.71%)
Referring Sites 310 (12.36%)
Direct Traffic 149 (5.94%)

Bounce rate is too high. I don't what the average should be or what the good average is. But 70% is just too high.

I'm not having any luck. Can't figure out if it is just bad luck or im doing something wrong.

i've started to get google traffic to my new ajax email form script page but the bounse is 100%. why?

people are coming to the page using keywords like

ajax email script
ajax email submit form
php send form by ajax

I have exactly what they are looking for but yet they choose to leave the page and click back right away?

Is it my site design. Do people automatically think i have bad/simple/ugly design so i probably don't know what im talking about?

Webdev, what kinds of things are you selling from CJ? I agree that your site would be a challenge to monetize.

LOL... Are you serious?! This whole time I have been going through the pain of adding each single page and selecting it when I am placing a link.

I specifically remember emailing CJ support about this issue, and that was the impression I was under... I guess it was a year long misunderstanding!

Whoops. I hope I didn't misguide anyone!

Yep, been doing it this way since I joined in 2000. Although I wouldn't be surprised if CJ gave you that impression. Their support is often um.... less than stellar.

I have a web hosting sky ad banner running on the right from CJ. I have two referral hosting links on my page footer as well. Both the ad banner and links show up on every page of the site thou. That's about it right now.

Yeah you're going to need some more editorial/contextual links (reviews, links within articles, etc.). Banners have never done too much for me. Unless you have a lot of traffic or a very well targeted niche, it's hard to get banners to convert.

To increase my odds of earning revenue i would have to monetize every page. Should i be monetizing each page with different product? The only monetizing source i can think of is php related books and php hosting.

Does amazon books convert well?

I have some contextual hosting referral links in the "php introduction page" of the beginners guide.

how much is too much. i posted my traffic stats above. i don't have much. i get 50 to 90 visits a day..mostly from google search.
