Registering with Commission Junction

Registering with Commission Junction

Commission Junction is a HUGE asset to affiliate marketers. They provide you with a humongous amount of different companies with affiliate programs that you can join.
It doesn’t matter what your niche is, I’m 99.9% positive you will find companies which will provide you with affiliate links appropriate for your niche.

First you have to register as a publisher with Commission Junction. Fill out everything they require you to fill out, and then once you’re done, you can start applying to as many affiliate programs as you like.

Once registration is done, all you do is click on the “Get Links” tab on the top of your page; then you’ll see categories for just about any market out there. Each category has multiple companies listed with affiliate programs which you can apply to.

This is a very simple process because Commission Junction already has all your contact information which is forwarded automatically to any program which you apply to. The company then will either automatically approve your application; and you will see that screen pop up as soon as your accepted; or they will do it manually which could take a few days, and they will let you know by e-mail once you have been approved.

To get your advertising links, click on the 'View Links' link right beside the advertiser's name. Here you will see a variety of banner ads or text links provided by the advertiser. On the right-hand side, under the 'Get Links' column, you'll see that you have two choices: you can either get the Javascript, or the html code. It doesn't really matter which one you get...Blogger will accept both.

Now it's very simple to keep track of which programs you applied to, which ones you've been accepted to, and which ones you're waiting to be accepted by. In the “Get Links” area you'll see four tabs underneath the “Get Links” tab. One of them is “By Relationship”. If you click on that you'll see a list of all your advertisers that have accepted you. To check which programs you've applied to and are waiting to hear back, click on the “Pending Applications” tab.

There's a lot more to cover on this, but that's just the basics to help you get started.
