Commission Junction Suspended My Account!
It appears that Commission Junction has shut down my account do to a lack of activity in the last couple of months. Searching around, it seems that the only solution is to sign up again with a new email account, since they don’t seem to re-activate people’s accounts.
I am giving Shoemoney’s Ebay Ads script another shot on a few of my sites. I’ve used it in the past, but not with any really spectacular results. I guess it all depends on the niche, and your visitor demographics. Yesterday, I thought of a new site idea which could capitalize big on these ads. Unfortunately, to use it I need my Ebay publisher’s ID which I can only get through my Commission Junction account….
If you are curious what this script looks like, take a look at the sidebar on the right. Currently, it *should* be showing a Google T-Shirt up for auction, although occasionally, in a show of defiance for all logic, a 3 Stooges DVD collection seems to come up for my ‘google shirt’ query. In a day or two, I may change the query to try to find some ask.com swag, or something else cool.
I have a real great idea for a new site where the Ebay ads will do great - it is a niche of collectibles in which people will purchase dozens of this item used over eBay. And the niche is small enough that a single new site in it will immediately be noticed by the community.

My account got suspended too. No email or anything. I sent them an email asking what was going on and never heard anything. Classy.
It’s particularly funny because somebody asked me where a particular affiliate link that I had from CJ went because they were planning on making an order and I had to tell them that I didn’t know why, but my account was suspended.
Mine to! This makes the second time they shut me down. I was through with them except the problem is the best affiliate programs seem to be registered with them so I am taking another chance using another email and trying it again. I guess the object of the game is getting some activity inside your account.
And your right, they do not answer emails as to why they shut down the account and they do not re-activate!
Bummer…
