    So EPC is just an estimate from the data gathered by the company it will not necessarily meen a certain amount per 100 per 3months or 7 days. It is showing jsut how much you can get paid? So for example if you receive 10% per sale your EPC can be much higher?

    I am new to affiliate marketing and earning as much ass possible.

    EPC is the average earnings per 100 clicks. It's just a way to compare how different advertisers perform if you send them 100 clicks (obviously depends on your traffic) The commission % is taken into account with this metric.

    I believe that is what they are seeing over a network average.

    EPC is normally calculated from what their current affiliates are earning on average accrossed the board. So it's not really accurate information when it comes to you earning the same EPC. For example, with one merchant it could have a lot of affiliates that don't know much about marketing and optimization of ads, etc. and that will make the merchant's EPC much lower, while with another merchant it could have a good EPC, but then it could have a really good and big affiliate with them that has many years of experience in online marketing.

    Hope you get what I'm getting at.
