How Legit Is Linkshare?

[contract]

Signed up for both Linkshare and CJ, but Linkshare gives me that "bad" feeling.. I've read reviews online and their mixed, but seeing a lot of people having issues with conversions. Some even having family members buy stuff using their aff link, and no sales being reported...

@ 120 clicks. 0 sales. These are big retailers too.. And targeted traffic and aff links from specific product review pages.

With Amazon I can easily make 10+ orders off that #, and that's with 1 day tracking. (If Amazon had a bigger selection, I would drop Linkshare, but I can't right now)

Feeling like they shave, and don't report sales honestly. Granted 120 clicks isn't much, but still...

....

Is CJ any better? Their reviews seem worse, and their past looks pretty bad.

Not a fan of dealing with these "networks". I'm getting private offers for 25%+ commission for some of the largest brands out there, but doesn't matter if nothing converts.

I've been using them for about a year for 1 offer that I couldnt find anywhere else. Never had any complaints but then again I haven't had the need for any communication with them etc. Their interface is some weird non-cake system but it does pixels, subids and all that jazz.

my only issues with them is that a) it takes forever to get paid(90 day lock window on the vast majority of advertisers) and b) I never seem to find a way to see how much money they are actually due to pay me(i.e. amount that's locked that's due to pay on xx/xx/xx)

They are slow at updating - and sometimes they just never update conversions (usually scraping them)
