Is it just my imagination...or is the Biggest $$ on CJ

in promoting Internet Hosting Providers?

Seems like promoting Hostgator, Bluehost etc. with their $107+ 7 Day EPC and $100 payouts on leads makes them the highest earning niches in Commission Junction to promote...

Are there any other high paying niche areas, or would that be a correct assumption?

That is true, but more importantly you have to look at conversions. Many cpa offers like acai convert like crazy if you find the right traffic. People eat up these cpa offers, so dont just look at payout, also look at conversions.

Heck, some of my best days have been with $10 leads. If youve got the volume, it will make up for lower payouts.

But yes, hosting affiliate commissions are decent and you can make a good sum promoting these programs or just creating cheap simple websites for people and having them use your hosting affiliate link.

If you are going the second route, why not get a resellers account yourself and charge your clients $30/month for just hosting. Most will stay for years, which is an incredibly easy $360 per year.

For Hostgator, if you sign up with their affiliate program directly at their website, you can earn up to $125 per referral.

Whoa really? I had no idea! Thanks mang!

I wonder if the other companies have their own programs too...

Bluehost pays $65 and manages the affiliate program in house. Their was a post the other day from another Warrior who got a $600 commission taken by CJ and Hostgator. She mentioned she was going to refer her affiliate traffic elsewhere.

Actually Hostgator's affiliate program uses a tiered structure:

1-5 a month

$50per sign up
6-10 a month

$75per sign up
11-20 a month

$100per sign up
21+ a month

$125per sign up

So unless you do a lot of volume, CJ is probably better.

Host Gator sounds good although I tried promoting it and did not have much success compared to other offers some how

HostGator SEEMS like a great idea but I've heard so many stories about them shaving sales and just outright banning people for no good reason that you should definitely look for other companies.

Dexx · 08-26-2009, 04:23 AM

hrmm that makes sense, I could see them shaving like mofos

I really do not view CJ as CPA company. hosting is one of the hardest niches to promote as well. CJ is more of an affiliate company with several lead offers mixed in. Hydra is the best network IMO.
