Online sales slumping? Affiliate Networks worried?

I have just received this e-mail from one of our slave masters. As I have mentioned before when we were members of affiliate programs with BeFree we had sales. WhenCJ tookover BeFree the merchants that migated from BeFree to CJ we saw no sales. We had a very high click thru rate, above the market industry with these merchants at BeFree but terrible with CJ. Perhaps it is Commission Junction that is doing something wrong?
Or is it the credit crisis hitting sales on the internet? Really I am not worried - I am tired of being a slave to these networks!

If you book via this link -
Holiday Inn Lowest Internet Rate Guarantee and have time to e-mail me then we can check if the reservation is being tracked to the point of sale - contact john

ear john,

You are receiving this email because we are concerned that your Commission Junction publisher account has not generated any valid commissions (from payable transactions) recently. We encourage you to begin earning commissions as quickly as possible. Otherwise, your publisher account is at risk of deactivation due to dormancy. Please see the Commission Junction Publisher Service Agreement for further explanation.

Accounts deactivated for dormancy are eligible for voluntary reactivation with Commission Junction, but you must re-establish any previous relationships with your advertisers. After reactivation, you are ready to redevelop your publisher business and begin actively promoting offers within the CJ Marketplace.

Of course, we would much rather see your publisher account actively earning commissions. If you would like some information on strategies and tips for doing so, please log in to the CJ Account Manager and click on the CJU Online link for helpful resources.

If you have any further questions regarding this or other issues, please use the Ask a Question feature available by selecting the Contact Us link available in your CJ Account Manager.

Regards,
Client Support
