In my case, it's not worth the time to follow-up now but when I did go to their site and found no e-mail addresses or phone numbers, that struck me as a problem. If they have a policy to drain a non-performing site dry at the rate of $10 a month, then okay. Seems rather draconian, but if their computers are somehow burdened by non-performing accounts so be it.
I'm glad some site owners have success with CJ but I'd not recommend them based on my experience and the lack of support - they should at least advise an account they've been, or are about to be, terminated so that account holder could do something to address the situtation, if they were so inclined. Simply deleting the account, but not deactiving the links is also suspect.
As I mentioned in an earlier post, it's a good example of why a site owner shouldn't just join affiliates without some thought as to whether it's a win/win situation. Most likely if your site isn't closely aligned with the affiliate's products or services, then you won't generate click throughs or revenue. I had thought since my business is weight loss, that associating with sites selling fitness equipment, for instance, made sense but I know now it does not, at least not for my site. My site's focus is not on fitness, after all, it's on the mental aspects of weight loss, and why it's so hard to do what we say we want to do (same with marketing or anything really). I've learned my lesson, and greatly appreciate all the input in this forum.
