CB vs. CJ CPA Affiliate Programs

 


There are always debates between choosing cb (clickbank) or cj (commission junction) as your CPA affiliate program. Here are the comparisons I summarized based on some debates over Internet:

Clickbank (cb):
high percentage commission and 15-day payout. Because Hottest selling products online are digital ebooks. However competition is a bit higher bit if you can break even the ROI is awesome! So choosing Clickbank if your audiences buy digital products.

if you like "freestyle" method of promoting, since creating affiliate links and starting is pretty easy in clickbank, however, clickbank affiliate links can be changed to their own affiliate names easily and thus it will cut your commissions.

If you're just looking for blind traffic to your website and require credit card payment services, go with ClickBank, because CB doesn't give it's merchants much as far as reporting goes, and no contact with the affiliates running your program.

Finally, CB has more refund rate.

Commission Junction (CJ):
CJ has tons of high-quality products, but too many rules for cj. don't do this and that, or your relationship with the advertiser will be cut.

CJ has dynamic affiliate links, so can't easily to change...

If you're looking to build relationships with your affiliates and already have access to credit card processing, go with Commission Junction.

BTW., there are many affiliate networks which offer similar services to CJ, and do so at far more reasonable prices. For instance, there's Shareasale.com if your program is for a shopping cart type per-sale website.

In summary, choosing CB for good commission rates and choosing CJ for better company choices.
