Some of our advertisers offer SmartFeeds on their CJ account, via our partner fusePump. Smart Feeds as the name suggests, allow product feed data to be manipulated to obtain data sub-sets.

This can be useful for a publisher as you can have total control over the type of data that is delivered within the feed. This is especially useful for advertisers who supply very large product feeds, and who only wish to obtain specific data which means feeds can be better manipulated and imported into your system’s database or website.

There are several filtering options, including categories, sub-categories fields, and the ability to restrict the data set, based on keywords or price ranges.

The below screenshots show you how to discover which advertiser make SmartFeeds available through the CJ network, and how you can configure and start making use of them.

Old news really but we just wanted to share how delighted we were when we found out that we had been shortlisted for an a4u Community Choice Award in the Best Affiliate Network category. Not only was it a fantastic piece of news to share with a team who, we believe, are one of the most committed across the industry, but it was also great to be in such good company. A brilliant shortlist this year so congratulations to everyone who features and a big nod to the a4u guys for working so hard to continuously improve the awards and their significance to the industry.

We’ve just signed up to sponsor the Best Affiliate Marketing Blog category at the awards themselves and are keeping our fingers crossed for a number of CJ clients who are waiting to hear whether they have been shortlisted by the judging panel.

A massive thanks to everyone who nominated us and good luck to all those who have been shortlisted. We’ll be seeing you on the night!

T’is an exciting day for I have two things to tell you.

First things first. We have launched a new offers portal which you can find on www.cjblog.co.uk/offers . This has lots of improved functionality including the ability to set up vertical feeds so you are only getting the offers which are most pertinent to yuo. Also, once you have entered your PID it is automatically entered into all the urls which means that you can just copy and paste. Take a look!

Secondly we have launched our twitter account. You can find us on http://twitter.com/CJUKNetwork.

We hope that you find both these things useful and welcome any feedback you have – just email me at admin@cjblog.co.uk

The CJ UK team and our clients have been sprinkled with award dust. Let me tell you all about them:

You already know that the exceptionally talented Hildegunn has been nominated for the Publisher’s Choice of Account manager award at the A4U awards.  What you don’t know is that we have have worked with our clients and are shortlisted for more:

• Payday UK for the finance vertical
• lastminute.com for the travel vertical
• Argos for TWO awards -  the retail vertical and for the best use of affiliate marketing as part of an integrated campaign.

In addition – lastminute.com with CJ have been shortlisted for an NMA Award: “Championing affiliates for lastminute.com”

Happy New Year to everyone from all at CJ and thanks to all CJ affiliates for all your hard work in 2008. We hope that you didn’t overindulge too much and aren’t feeling too fragile today.
