Have you changed it's placement at all? You used to have it in out of the way places and it used to just being in some chump change. Either the other networks you have all suddenly started to suck, or you did some changes.
Just as with any program, one program that works for one person isn't always going to work for someone else. I don't have problems getting paid. I make more money using AuctionAds/ShoppingAds then I do from my ads from CJ - much more. Yea they have had their issues but even then I've been able to make money from placements that in the past from other programs could not. Are there other programs out that might pay more, sure I bet there is but again for my niche I've yet to find one that has been better then AA and I've used MANY different programs before I found AA.
Neither really. The most valuable part of AA for me is the ebay rewrite. I have car forums. These are people looking for ebay stuff alot and suggesting ebay stuff to each other all the time and buying ebay stuff all the time. So I do well on those sites. ALways have except when there have been problems. The SA banners - I do little with. It all depends on the kind of site you have IMO. DO you have a site where the traffic is likely to be interested in eBay stuff? If you have a webmaster forum - I doubt you'll make much. If you have a real estate site - probably not gonna do well. Have a collectible site or a hobby site? You might do well. The same thing applies to various things. For me, my car sites dont do well with affiliate stuff from CJ. The only change is that my link sales have dropped off quite a bit due to google and its stupidity. That used to be my number one profit sector.
It sure is... their stats are totally messed up. They never respond to any support questions and etc. AuctionAds was my 2nd source of revenue after Adsense Anyone knows any good alternatives that have the same format ads? (Other than Chickita/WidgetBucks) Thanks.
Shopping ads Have you tried through ebay itself (or whatever their official affiliate is)? The payouts will be a bit lower, but at least the stats will be dead on.
