    I know this strictly should be in a forum specific to ePN (admin?) but I just thought I would share some randomness from the new ePN with you all.

    For a start the earnings look largely the same to me - if having dropped slightly - but when I look at the reports It states that 1 of my (lets say 40) websites has xxxxx impressions and xxxxx clickthroughs - understandable right?

    yet all the other sites have 0 impressions and xxxxx clickthroughs!!! - how on earth am I getting click throughs from people that havent even logged as an impression? frankly I think theres got to be something up...

    I have noticed other little bugs too but I am leaving them till the dust settles...

    anyone else notice this on a "one campaign per line" report?

    I'm thinking that you need to add the impression pixel code to your page(s). If you use the link generator they give you the code below the aff link.

    If you're using RSS without adding the tracking pixel on the page or each listing.. you won't show impressions. Items that naturally show impressions would be the EditorKit. Clicks is what you need to worry about. You should feel lucky that your numbers (commissions) are the same. I think you're tracking fine.

    I'm sure a lot of people are noticing this because they didn't realize the impression pixel was not combined with the link generator code. I had the same situation when using the program with CJ when I used the flexible link tool. I don't even think they offered an impression pixel with that code, so my overall CJ stats looked like they were all messed up (CTR of 100% and above on some days). I plan on adding a tracking pixel to each page that has at least one ePN link on it so I'll at least be able to get some stats that make sense.

    I'm using BANS and none of my sites track any impressions. So I only see clicks on my EPN. The same was true in CJ as well.

    Using the link generator, the link code and impression code are seperate, do we necessarily need to include the impression code?

    thats random though because I have always shown impressions? although i do use ebay banners on some of the sites - we will see what happens - might be me being dappy - least the clicks seem to register eh?
