RANT: Commission Junction is flooding my email!

threatlevelorange · 10-28-2009, 11:45 PM

Every day it is a new contractual change or "special offer." It seems like they are just trying to trip IMers up so they promote products on terms they did not knowingly agree to.

What gives?

Well, CJ is "too big for their britches". They think they are all powerful, etc.... Frankly, I don't know WHY they are still in business.

1. NO standard fo data!
2. LITTLE automation ANYWHERE!
3. NO apparent pattern to links!
4. HEAVY third party communication.
5. Arbitrarily expiring affiliates.
6. #5 ALSO means LOTS of DEAD LINKS!

And I HATE being presold on something and then finding I will NEVER know what it was because CJ disabled the link. That may have cost their VENDORS HUNDREDS of dollars, JUST FROM ME!!!!!!

And the items I listed only affect affiliates DIRECTLY! indirectly, it affects customers and vendors. The vendors pay a LOT for those affiliates that CJ is LITERALLY throwing away!

I don't get flooded with email from CJ.
It's whatever merchant's you've signed up with that are sending the emails through CJ's system.

Ditto. I don't get much at all from them. Mainly sporadic updates from assorted merchants.
