Make money faster! eBay may dump ValueClick for its own affiliate program

I hope they dump Commission Junction -- last time I tried CJ, I found it rather unusable (and switched to another service which wraps eBay affiliate stuff, but with a much simpler interface).

I wonder if this has anything to do with today's news release by the FTC fining ValueClick 2.9 million for spam:

Time to run fast away from VCLK. What a disaster for them.

No, this is long overdue and a smart move on eBay's part. When I worked there and did stuff to support affiliate marketing I could not believe how badly Commission Junction sucked. Its incomprehensible user interface aside, CJ doesn't just an affiliate program outsourcer, it's an affiliate program *marketplace* -- which means that when eBay tells one of its prospective affiliates to sign up for CJ, it gives CJ the opportunity to bombard the affiliate with counter-offers from hundreds of other affiliate programs.

Give me an eBay version of ECS and it'll be useful, otherwise it's the same affiliate program in a different colored box.

Wow. Who knew that eBay had 118 International Subsidiaries (according to the SEC filing). You learn something new every day.

On the other hand, eBay dumping CJ is old, old news...
