Here’s what consumers have asked with answers from Commission Junction (CJ) staff and previous consumers.
Google have a no follow policy in place for CJ. They shouldn't damage your page rank, but there is the risk that they will deactivate your account for no apparent reason (very common over the course of 2016).
Id avoid Commission Junction. There were times I knew I made a sale and it didn't register. I contacted them but they passed the buck to the seller. You may violate their agreement and they will close your account down like they did me. It would be nice to make side money but not through cj.com.
I would be concerned. They terminated my account but thankfully it was just one sale. I put a banner on a Facebook group page and a month later they disabled my account. I emailed asking why. And they said. "This removal is the result of promoting CJ advertisers using undisclosed promotional methods, which violates the CJ Publisher Service Agreement you agreed to follow." So theres no way to fix a mistake if there was one. Also, I knew I made a sale but it did not register in the cj dashboard. CJ support said it was on the seller's end. I think the tracking is on CJ's end and should have registered. My sales recognition was questionable. I would cash out and avoid CJ.com. The littlest mistake if it was a mistake is unforgivable.
Ouch, that's a hefty sum. Get in touch with them directly and if you don't get a response, seek legal advice. Attempt to reactivate your account, visit your reports and then obtain as many screenshots as possible to confirm that you had the balance present. This will be your proof and leverage, so be sure to get as much evidence as possible. Unfortunately, this seems to happen far more frequently with CJ than one would expect from a company of this stature. Best of luck
Just to answer your concern - CJ have been known to scam account holders, but not by charging a fee. A fee will only be charged if there is money in the account balance. When it reaches 0.00, no fee will be charged. They have been known to charge fees at random however (I experienced this myself). They are also in the habit of deactivating accounts for no apparent reason, regardless of how large the balance in the account is. My advice - avoid them as the reviews on this website say. Better options are ClickBank and Amazon Affiliates.
