			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Commission Junction decided to raise its minimum payout to 50 U.S. dollars for direct deposits and 100 dollars for paper checks. Newbies and small affiliates might get a little upset. But fair enough, that increases the company&#8217;s efficiency and reduces unnecessary expenses. Actually they should get rid of paper checks completely.</p>
<p>What I don&#8217;t like about CJ&#8217;s payment policy is that they pay slowly. Many affiliates receive their payouts not before 20 days after the end of the month. Professional affiliates are usually liquid enough to cover that period. But beginners in affiliate marketing should join other networks perhaps.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ebay decided to leave affiliate networks and start their own in-house affiliate network. Today they announced to leave Commission Junction. I would say that&#8217;s a big hit for CJ. I wonder how German Affilinet will deal with this as ebay is a major income source for Affilinet.</p>
<p>I have to say that ebay&#8217;s move makes perfect sense. The company is capable enough to run a tracking system on their own and adapt it to the needs of their affiliates. Here are some examples of the advantages of their in-house system:</p>
<blockquote><ul>
<li>Easy global registration to multiple countries simultaneously</li>
<li>New, targeted banners and rich media creatives</li>
<li>New landing page optimization and geo-targeting capabilities</li>
<li>More detailed reporting capabilities for eBayâ€™s programs</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With their so-called <strong>Cross-Account Correlation</strong> Commission Junction finally allows international advertisers to connect their different affiliate programs. In a pilot program selected advertisers are able to track all transactions from all of their programs no matter which program the affiliate is registered in.</p>
<p>Example: An online bookstore launches a separate affiliate program for every country or site with CJ. Usually an affiliate of the U.S. program would only get credit for transactions on the U.S. bookstore because he used the U.S. tracking code. Now he can only profit from customers purchasing in the UK shop. Everything will be tracked and commissioned.</p>
<p>More information is available at Commission Junction&#8217;s website.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wer mit Commission Junction arbeitet ist sicher Ã¶fter schon Ã¼ber den sogenannten EPC gestolpert. Das soll ein ein Indikator fÃ¼r die QualitÃ¤t sowohl von Publishern als auch von Advertisern und Werbemitteln sein. Der EPC ist die &#8220;average Earnings Per 100 Clicks&#8221;, also die durchschnittliche Provision je 100 Klicks.</p>
<p>Da viele Affiliates ihren Traffic auf Klickbasis z.B. bei Suchmaschinen einkaufen, ist eine Angabe zur durchschnittlichen Provision auf 100 Klicks fÃ¼r sie eine gute Orientierung bei der Suche nach profitablen Partnerprogrammen. Allerdings sollte der EPC aus mehreren GrÃ¼nden mit Vorsicht genossen werden.</p>
<p>Nutzt ein Affiliate z.B. Textlinks als URL fÃ¼r Popup-Werbung, drÃ¼ckt er den EPC nach unten, da Forced Clicks und Ã¤hnliche Werbeformen eine deutlich schlechter konvertieren als z.B. Suchmaschinenmarketing oder Bannerwerbung. Ein Affiliate oder Partnerprogramm, welches mit hochwertigem Traffic eigentlich gut konvertiert, kann durch viele schlechte Publisher im Ranking gedrÃ¼ckt werden. Hier sagt der EPC dann leider nichts Ã¼ber das Potential des Programms sondern nur Ã¼ber die schlechte QualitÃ¤t der Affiliates aus.</p>
<p>Im Umkehrschluss bedeutet ein schlechter EPC auch dass die bestehenden Publisher vielleicht nur schlechte Traffic-Quellen haben kÃ¶nnten. Gerade bei neuen Programmen ist es mÃ¶glich dass z.B. noch kaum in Suchmaschinen geworben wird. Hinzu kommt dass bei neuen Programmen die Datenbasis fÃ¼r eine verlÃ¤ssliche Statistik zu klein sein kÃ¶nnte.</p>
<p>Insgesamt kann man sagen dass der EPC, Ã¤hnlich wie bei Schulnoten, eine grobe Orientierung geben kann. Man sollte ihn allerdings nicht Ã¼berbewerten. Letztlich muss jeder Affiliate selbst testen, wieviel er mit einem Programm mit 100 Klicks verdienen kann.</p>
