Affiliate network for advertiser-publisher partnerships with recruitment, tracking and commissioning.
#3 of 6 in Affiliate Networks by Overall Score
CJ connects advertisers with publishers, creators, and content partners through an established affiliate network. Brands can recruit partners, define commission structures, track transactions across devices and channels, distribute offers and product data, and analyze publisher performance, while publishers gain access to advertiser programs, links, product feeds, and reporting used to monetize audiences.
CJ emphasizes publisher recruitment within its network, including tools for finding additional partners after a program migrates from another provider. Its international structure supports regional publisher relationships and multiple payout currencies. Advertisers should distinguish that network-oriented recruitment and relationship model from self-hosted SaaS referral programs with direct customer advocates.
