I don't like clickbank or CJ. I have earnings with Clickbank, but they deduct fees from your earnings every month just to be an affiliate and I've yet to see a paycheck from them despite hundreds of thousands of impression over a two year period.
CJ is a professional program, they pay as promised but for the amount of banner impressions I've served vs the payout ratio, I've decided to replace their space with AdBrite PPC. CJ is geared more towards corporate publishers rather than SOHO sites, but the thing I like about them is at they at least treat all publishers witht the same respect.
Rumour has it that ClickBank is owned by Cameron who is aka 'The Rich Jerk', and ClickBank's tracking and back office has always been very amateur, even with their new changes to the website, it's still a newbie affiliate program that thrives on entry level publshers who will never meet the cashout requirement. Plus ClickBank's products are junk e-books that aren't worth their grain of salt.
IMHO neither are worth bothering with. At least AdBrite and AdSense have always paid me on time and are PPC so you don't have to sell anything, just turn the link into their network.
