All of affiliate programs via CJ or any such affiliate network sucks. The best option is to go for direct affiliation.

Another problem with CJ is that they deactivate account if you don't send any traffic for 6 months.

Thanks for sharing these wonderful resources. I'm a member of some of the Affiliate Programs you mentioned, such as Commission Junction and Amazon.

The biggest problem for me is that I'm Brazilian, and many affiliate programs don't allow members from outside the US. This is frustrating.
