    cj_logoPersonally, I think this is a good tip and can be applied to other affiliate merchant networks, but I primarily focus on Commission Junction. It’s important to contact your merchant contacts and request that you get updated with information regarding deals, coupons, promotions, etc. This is a incredibly useful for providing some useful content besides the usual product information.

    As mentioned earlier, I’ve been working on creating various WordPress hub blogs within my niches. When there are promotions and specifically coupons, I like to blog about them. I’m notified by several of my merchant contacts as soon as they’re released, then I also like to tweet the blog entry regarding those offers.

    I see this creating value to my hub blogs. Basically, people are starting to sign up to my RSS feeds to find promotional opportunities. If you haven’t done so, contact your contacts at CJ and request that you get mailed promotions! Might help with your commissions!

I've looked for this in the past, but have not had any luck finding this feature, and thought it might be cool to throw something together that sort of does this.

    My idea was simple, to create a PHP application that would use cURL to login and return me the quick stats results. After retrieving the stats, it would email me the results. I used one library called LIB_parse.php which makes it extremely handy to parse through HTML code to drill down to the specific section you're looking for. To get this to email, you'll need to run this is crontab. Possible as a PHP-CLI (command line script) or use lynx/wget to hit a web page to execute the code. Related posts:

    Below is the code to get this to work:

    <?php
    include("lib/LIB_parse.php");
    $uname                          = "account@yourdomain.com";
    $password                       = "CJPassword";
    $loginURL                       = "https://members.cj.com/member/foundation/memberlogin.do"; // keep it secure with SSL
    $agent                          = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1";
    $POSTFIELDS             = ‘uname=’.$uname.‘&nextpage=&pw=’.$password;
    $emailAddy                      = "account@yourdomain.com";
    $ch                             = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$loginURL);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $agent);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$POSTFIELDS);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
    if(!$result                     = curl_exec ($ch)){
            echo "Unable to access site";
    }else{
            curl_close ($ch);
            $zone_array = parse_array(
                                                    $result,
                                                    "<!–Quickstats table—>",
                                                    "<!–trend graph table—>",
                                                    INCL
                                            );
            $quickStats                     = $zone_array[0];
            //echo $quickStats;
            $to                     = $emailAddy;
            $subject        = "CJ Quick Stat Report";
            $message        = $quickStats;
            $headers        = "MIME-Version: 1.0".chr(10);
            $headers        .= "From:".$emailAddy.chr(10);
            $headers        .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1".chr(10);
            mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
    }
    ?>

    stat_lookup.php

    Disclaimer! I don’t know if this is against any CJ terms.. so use at your own risk.
