Yes it's legal..
All what you have to do add "google.com" in your websites list.

Any link will work as long as you will assign "google.com" as the website.

You can promote any CJ product by AdWords .. the most important will be : the Keywords you will use , Your txt ad , and which methods you will use in AdWords " Search , Content , Specific websites "

"You can promote any CJ product by AdWords"

That's not completely true - I've come across a couple that don't want this. Always read their terms of service when you sign up with them. Others - most in fact place restrictions on how this is done, especially in regards to the keywords you use.

As for what converts and what doesn't - that's too subjective and far too hard to nail down. It depends on many factors. What works for me on one of my websites might not work for you on another. Trial and error is the best way to see what works and what doesn't. But clearly - advertise things that relate to your website.

One of my best converting advertisers is showing very low network earnings on CJ.com. Others don't seem to be having much luck with them, but I am.

Sorry .. i have been for a while with CJ but i never come accross any restrictions on using AdWords only with the Keyword part.. Don't ever use TMs as a keyword. all advertisers don't like that.

In fact most advertisers have a policy concerning keyword bidding.

To enable it:
Keyword links are only available to those publishers who select Search Engine Marketing in the Promotional Methods area of their account settings. Publishers without the Search Engine Marketing promotional method may not access the HTML for this link type in the Get HTML interface.

One example of an advertisers policy:
Keyword Policy:
- no bidding in brand names
- direct linking and display url allowed

Some also have Keyword Links if you are using arbitrage:
A Keyword Link is used by publishers who are interested in using paid placement to promote their advertisers. When publishers make bids on their advertiser's keywords, they can use the information in the keyword link to get data on the advertiser's preferred marketing message and tracking URL for search, their keywords, and the associated bidding rules for those keywords.

Yes it varies by advertiser and many have lists of protected keywords.
Some even say you can't outbid them on certain keywords.
So you need to read the TOS.

You are aware of Google's rule that only allows one ad per domain?
So if another affiliate or the merchant is already advertising with Adwords you can't get in unless you have a higher quality score and/or over bid and leap frog them.

Hey no need to say sorry - I've only found two or three in a few years! I only signed up with one and they only lasted about six months before they ended their program.

1. Yes you can , but you will have to assign your links in CJ to the redirect website not google.com
2. Webhosting & Domains

I may be out of the loop again, but I thought Google changed their TOS to not allow affiliate links through Adwords.

Skip you serious? WOW if they don't... then they will be taking money away from themselves... if that is the case just use a re-direct to fix that issue...
