So, I've been fighting an interesting battle over the last week, and I've documented it all into a good lesson for everyone.

The bottom line is that if you're using affiliate marketing of any kind, you need to pay attention to this:

 

Affiliate Marketers and Brands Beware of Outsourced Affiliate Programs

 

Leave your thoughts and make sure that you protect yourself as best you can.

Just read this great article. Thanks for providing the information to others who may be experiencing the same problem. If you rely heavy on affiliate sales, getting your CJ account banned can definitely be devastating.

Very interesting case study Robert. Didn't realize the go between guys could claim bonus leads in order to keep 100% of the commission. I'm sure there is just lots of data to soft through on their end, so it's hard to know whether they are monkeying around or not. But gettig banned with 4 "fake leads" sounds egregious!
