CJ付款周期

什么是New？

New – Just earn a commission? It’s going to show up here and will remain in the status of “New” until they transfer to a locked status.

New是指所有未locked的业绩，CJ是半小时更新一次数据，一般情况下，你做的任务在30分钟到60分钟就会显示在你的帐号中。当然也遇到过过了好多个小时才显示的，这种一般是CJ的跟踪系统卡死。当然这个时间也和广告主的程序有关，有些广告主是用程序自动确认你的业绩，有些是手动。手动确认业绩的，这个时间就无法确定了。

什么是locked?

Locked – Many of the advertisers within our network have a standard locking cycle, which means that transactions will lock after the 10th of the month. You can review an advertiser’s locking cycle by looking at their detail page (click on their name anywhere within the CJ Account Manager). However, be aware that there are two exceptions to the standard locking cycle:

CUSTOM LOCKING CYCLE: Like in the example of the client who called in last week, some advertisers elect to have a custom locking cycle when they consistently need more time to review each transaction. Instead of the commissions locking after the 10th of the month, commissions will lock a certain number of days after the event date. For example, if an advertiser has a 30 day locking cycle, a commission generated on December 1 will lock on December 31. See the screenshot above for examples of a Standard Locking Cycle and Custom Locking Cycle.
EXTENDED: An advertiser may choose to extend commissions if they only occasionally need more time to review transactions. Advertisers can only extend a commission for one additional pay period before it locks. So if you generated a commission in December that would have locked on January 11th, it will now be eligible to lock on February 11th.

大部分广告主的lock时间都是次月的10号(美国时间)，每个广告主的locking周期都可以在广告主的介绍里找到。有些广告主的locking周期是30天，有些是60天。如果locking周期是60天，那么你11月1号产生的业绩，将在12月31号lock.有时候，广告主可能需要更多的时间来检查你的业绩，这时候广告主就可以延期支付你的佣金。但是广告主最多只能延期一个月，举个例子，本来你在3月做的业绩应该在4月11号lock，如果广告主申请延期，那么5月11号一定会lock。当然，如果广告主认为你的业绩有问题，可能会直接清空。

什么是Closed?

Closed – Closing occurs between the 13th and 14th of the month. If a commission has closed, this means that it has gone through the “review period” and can be included in a payment. The few days between locking and closing are used as an evaluation period for both Publisher Review (to make sure there are no Network Quality investigations) and for Advertiser Balance (to make sure the advertiser has the proper funds in their account to payout their publishers).

业绩locked以后，一般是在当月的13号或者14号close.业绩closed表示已经通过了广告主的审核，可以进行支付了。locking和closing之间间隔了2到3天，这段时间用来确认广告主的帐号中有足够的钱来支付佣金以及CJ没有对你的帐号进行调查。

CJ的付款时间？

Payment – Payments are sent around the 20th of the month. In order to receive payment, your closed commission balance must meet the minimum payment amount you set in your account. Once your closed commission balance reaches your minimum payment amount, you will be eligible for payment. For example, if you set your minimum payment amount to be $100, your closed commission balance must be $100 or greater in order to be eligible for payout.

上面这段文字是从CJ的blog中复制过来的，它没有说什么是CJ进括号，当你在CJ的帐号管理界面选择Reports—Balance details的时候，有可能会看到下面这一行

Payments issued        $(188.00)

表示佣金已经安排支付，这个时间一般是在每个月的15-18号左右，极少拖到19号。佣金发到银行的时候是每个月最接近20号的那个工作日，佣金到达各银行的时间就大不一样了，一般来说，自己开的美国银行帐号要比P卡快几个小时，这是第一批付款的时间，一般老号会在第一批支付。未收到调查的新号一般都是第二批，少数也可能会在第一批进行支付。第二批一般会比第一批迟一个星期，这个我没有留意具体的时间。
