rich mother fucker...


...and will be aligned within its media hub, Publicis Media. I am confident you will enjoy many benefits as part of Publicis Media. Within Publicis Media, our focus is to help clients navigate the modern media landscape. CJ’s standing as the best-in-class affiliate network is a complementary fit, thanks to both organizations’ joint commitment to technology, data and—most importantly—client service and performance.

As an important part of our next chapter, I am taking over the role of President, CJ Affiliate, effective immediately. I succeed Waleed Al-Atraqchi, who has decided to leave CJ to return to his entrepreneurial roots. We thank Waleed for everything he has done over the past four years, building a strong customer-centric culture that delivered substantial growth and transformed how CJ innovates faster and better. As the previous head of CJ’s Client Development and Data Science teams, I look forward to continuing this momentum as we grow into the future.

In the months ahead, the leadership teams at Publicis Media and CJ Affiliate will focus on enabling CJ’s global expansion and continued standing as the world’s largest and most established affiliate network. There will be many opportunities for us, together, to deliver innovative solutions, strategies and big results for you on a global scale.

If you have any questions, please contact your CJ Affiliate business partner.

Thank you,

Mayur Kshetramade
President, CJ Affiliate

Great company though :D

i wonder how much it will change. hostgator has really changed.

Between CJ, BeFree and Linkshare... a lot of affiliate based online retail stores were born. I did okay with a lot of offers from those three.

Hehe, I think I still have the wooden whistle CJ sent me... I think they sent them to everyone who had affilate sales. :D

ETA: If memory serves, wasn't Commission Junction fostered under the IdeaLab incubator -- IdeaLab launched several brands at the time. Everytime I see "Silicon Valley" on HBO, it reminds me of IdeaLab.

I made some good money in high school through a variety of CJ offers.

Taking me back…

I still do really well with ShareASale, they are a beast if you are building coupon sites. Unfortunately I just got an email the other day that PeerFly is shutting down https://blog.peerfly.com/2019/07/29/a-new-chapter/ One of the first mainstream tutorial sites I ever built was filled with articles on how to run PeerFly offers, and I made good money just on referrals. The affiliate business is definitely going through some changes...

That announcement threw me for a loop for sure.

It seems the affiliate network model is going through a rough transition.

I suspect PF won't be alone.... MaxBounty is still looking strong though (I hope)

I completely forgot about Share-A-Sale.
