ShareASale vs Commission Junction Comparison

Two of the biggest players in the affiliate game are ShareASale and Commission Junction, which are both affiliate networks with thousands of publishers and advertisers. If you, as an affiliate marketer who works as a publisher, only have experience with one of the networks you might be wondering what you are missing at the other. We’re going to give you the pros and cons of each network so you will know if you need to sign up for both.

Tons of merchants

There are lots of merchants to choose from, but not all of them will accept you as an affiliate. You have to apply to each merchant individually. If you have an established history at CJ and a solid performance score, you have a better chance at getting accepted.

ShareASale

ShareASale is also one of the top affiliate networks, offering mainly offers from smaller retailers. They have tons of big merchants as well though, and many features that you won’t find at CJ.

Improved tracking

One of the great things about ShareASale is the tracking. It’s very easy to see where a sale came from. You can also earn money by bringing in sub affiliates. By being able to clearly track the source of a sale you can better optimize your campaigns.

Great customer support
