Pay attention to this guy on how to choose a cj merchant.

It's a good guide, but I think keeping an eye on merchant earnings is a good idea. I think on CJ it's safe to go as low as 3/5 on network earnings (that blog recommends 5/5). I don't use cj a lot, but you should be able to do ok (much better than clickbank I would imagine).
