Hi does anyone use EPN on their website or for any other purpose and actually make sales or get paid? I know of at least three people who have bought through a widget/toolbar/website of mine and still 0 on EPN - does anyone make sales/get paid from EPN? Thx in advance.
I run a very low traffic BANS with EPN and have made a massive £4.50 (~$8.33) this month, it does pay as well I was paid last month. How do you know people have bought items via your site? I know some people say EPN's tracking is a bit hit and miss but missing 3 sales is unlikely unless you've got your aff id wrong in the url.
Well people have left comments about easy access to ebay, what they purchased etc. Also I have someone working for me who promotes my toolbar which has my EPN affiliate ID and he purchased something for his mother through the toolbar. Perhaps it doesn't work through there but I have EPN on a number of sites and impression/clicks don't add up.
I make enough with EPN, enough that I just bought a boat with my earnings But I would stay away from them right now. They are banning accounts like crazy. Im talking hundreds if not thousands of accounts. Big players and small earners alike. Check out this squidoo lens for the lowdown: http://www.squidoo.com/the-truth-about-epn Or the ebay forums: http://forums.ebay.com/db2/forum.jspa?forumID=1000000047&anticache=1219693485896 My account was actually one that was banned, but I sent them a polite email and they re-instated it. I am just weary of what might happen in the future. I am not planning on being with EPN for very much longer. I just need to figure out a way to convert my sites to another affiliate program. EPN does NOT treat their affiliates kindly.
I don't really care if my account gets banned, i'd rather see money come in for the sales through my site which just don't come, impressions don't match, clicks don't match although I know that the guy I have promoting my toolbar purchased the item today so how long does it usually take to go through? I have only been a member for a few weeks now but there's plenty of others like EPN, amazon affiliates is decent.
my sales update usually in the evening the day after. so for sales I make today, they will show in my account tomorrow night.
I am using EPN on my BANS and it works pretty well. Its is better than CJ. Reporting & tools are good compared to CJ. You can really make money if it is used on the right niches.
