Where are your EPN sales coming from?

    I'm noticing that the vast majority of my sales are only coming from direct links and not my editor kits. This is the exact oposite of what it was with CJ. This month my sales (which are still down) from links are 13x higher than my editor kit sales. Yet my editor kit clicks are twice as high. So I'm starting to think maybe there is an issue with the editor kit since it was not totaly rebuilt like some of the other tools.

    Is anyone else seeing weird things like this?

    My whole earnings are way down, im not even sure if its registering properly. Im still getting the same number of clicks but very little is converting. So not sure whats going on here.

    All of my sales are down. But I primarily use BANS (see sig for shameless plug) and most of my epn sales are coming from the links from the epn feeds.

    My sales are virtually zero since switching over. It's all Editor Kit, so maybe that's the problem, like you said.

    I only use RSS and API on my sites (they're kinda like BANS stores), and my EPN sales are way down on what they were with CJ. I'm using lots of different methods, but still seeing pathetic results compared to my CJ+eBay income.

    EPN > Tools > Widgets > Editor Kit

    If pictures help, the Editor Kit button looks like this:

    I have a mix of Editor Kits, but primarily use RSS feeds and API. This month appears to be finally on track for me (minus ACRUs). Looking at the creatives report... I made $600+ with link generator (including 1 ACRU), and only $20+ with EK. I think those numbers would be pretty accurate while at CJ, as far as link vs. EK.

    Kerosene.. are you using type=2 links? I switched all of mine to be type=4.. not sure if this is helping, but earnings were better after making this change.

    I'm using a mix of type 2 and type 4 EPN links - I'm not seeing any real difference between them. I might switch a few more to type 4, but I'm not going to keep flogging this dead horse for much longer...
