The other day we had fun when Jenn hit her adsense high and we discussed our Highest Adsense Day Ever.
Well adsense has held steady for me this month however my affiliate earnings have been slacking, until now.
Just a few minutes ago I logged in to check my cj.com stats and almost choked when I saw this commission:
Yes I've had commissions reversed before so I know not to hold my breathe until the money comes, but wow!
If it holds this will be the first single day over $100 for my total network earnings and will put my daily total easily over $185 for today.
Not a bad gig if you can get steady work ;-)
So what is your biggest affiliate commission you've received for a single transaction?

Have you tried the google referral program. I just got a message saying I was eligible, and I've put it on my site. I've had a few clicks, but nothing notable. I'm debating if it is worth it on my site or not.
My largest was $250, and it stuck.
Wow nice one Mark!
I only really promote 2 affiliate programs. So the biggest commission I've ever got is $25/referral from TLA, but I've made a few of those. And then just a few days ago, I got commission from a sale of Blog Mastermind, which equates to $20/month - nice recurring commission!
From a single site, It was over $22,000 for that month:)
Jess: Im also testing that, and its the same as you - i made only few bucks
Mark: nice job, but I think, that one must count it monthly in this case of incomes
@jess - I still haven't tried google referrals
@sapphire - WOW
@adnan - I saw that "recurring" commision post the other day, very nice, all my commissions so far are one time deals.
@kevin - Wholly cr@p! Are you still making $22g per month?
Those who made it in the poker affiliating business early, they dont have to work ever more. Kevin´s site is probably a poker recruiting site. I hade a couple of my own too until I decided it is bad for my chance to get in to Heaven if I continue (so many sad stories from people who lost all their money).
thanks jack, I've never been near gambling sites so I'm not sure of the money there
Awesome sale! I had a $79 one through CJ once but it was reversed :( ...knock on wood!
knocking on wood and crossing the fingers. my previous high was a $50 one and that was reversed.
Wow! That's crazy! I earn occasionally when I get referrals at $40-50 each. :P
If it sticks, $149 is a good one-off affiliate commission. I've had a few $100 payouts from Google referrals and a few affiliate payouts at $120 or so (some documented in my "Tale of a Web Entrepreneur" eBook).
If you are going to continue with affiliateships, try to look for suitable ones that are recurring (as Adnan has found out, the ongoing payouts are worth more than a 1-off payment).
However, isn't it now the case where you need to fly free? Why not make your own products for sale? I have digital products up for sale at well over $100 and make sales pretty much daily - and I KNOW that those sales will stick.
Making an Affiliate sale is exciting, but nowhere near as exciting as making a sale of your own product.
@gary - wow google referrals is that good eh? yes I think being the person taking in the $1500 and paying out the commission is definitely in the better position.
