Adding on to my assortment of affiliate related Firefox extensions, GreaseMonkey is a Firefox extension that allows the user to customize the look and usability of a set of specific websites.  I use it mostly for my Gmail account, color coding the labels, setting up different themes, and more, but it also plays a useful role at Commission Junction.  This script requires you to have a Firefox browser, with the GreaseMonkey extension installed.  Then you simply download and install the CJ Enhancer and you’re off and running.

Affiliates using Commission Junction now have something else to be excited about. This tool allows you to connect to the CJ.com website with your browser and view your current account balance. This is a very useful browser addition to keep you out of CJ.com, and working on actually promoting your affiliate programs! The second image here is what you see with a mouse over.

It allows for you to check your account balance in different intervals, defaulting out at 30 minutes. Download the Extension Here If you receive a pop up because schlottke.org is not added to your accepted list, simply click “Options”, and Add Schlottke.org to the accepted download’s section. Then Click the download link again.

Ever wonder why you make under $500 a month, and other people gloat about making over $50,000? The biggest reasons are the selection of the products, companies, and ways we choose to promote an item. While there are fool proof products and companies (eBay, CitiBank) sometimes their program isn’t an exact fit for your website. So, what to do, what to do…

CommissionJunction is undoubtably the largest network of quality websites available to Affiliate Marketers. Companies like eBay, Citibank, and many more find a home in CJ.com’s giant database of merchants.

Design: 9

Slightly more advanced than ShareaSale.com, CJ gets an edge in the layout and ease of use. Their security features are excellent, and their overall functionality is just about flawless.

Reporting: 9

CommissionJunction’s reporting features are tough to get upset about. You can track your daily stats, exact product sales (In most cases- eBay is a special situation, where they do not show what auction actually resulted in the sale.) Finding EPC, Total Commission, and Product sales is a cinch.
