CJ Network Quality

Commission Junction spider

[nativenewyorker]

For those of you who may not be aware, CJ launched a new spider last month to ensure compliance with their publisher service agreement.

The new User/Agent attached is CJNetworkQuality; [cj.com...] The U/A was formerly CJ Spider

According to their documentation, their spider

will visit, on a daily basis, all registered sites and all pages that have generated traffic within the past 30 days.

What a waste of bandwidth.
