ePN - Two Months Later

    Well, it's been exactly two months since the launch of eBay's Partner Network, and from the jump things were going south. They've made some improvements during this time, I'll give them that much. However, most affiliates aren't too pleased with how it's going.

    Here are my stats with the ePN experiment.

    • April - $40 (includes that so-called 5% boost)
    • May - $80

    That totally sucks! :mad: I was making about $250 per month before the "mandatory" switch.

    How have you fared since the switch? Has your income grown or tanked? What are your views of the ePN? (Be honest ;))

    I am quiet new to the ebay program, i started with cj in december last year, jan was a good month to me, i made around 80€, feb was good to round about 70€...in march i had a lot of problems with google but at the end i pick up and closed the month round about 60€.
    Now lets talk about epn, on the first of april i had already switched all my sites to epn, at the end of april i made an oustanding 8€!!!!!!!!! In may i had about 500clicks more and made an outstanding 5.30€
    My clicks are much more that what they were in cj, so something isnt working!!!!!

    Cheers

    p.s im earning much more on google adsense at the moment, i think im gonna start optimizing my websites for adsense....

    Clicks on up and down for no reason. My clicker have won no auctions so something sucks. I can't login again today. eBay needs to test better. Their programmers should be working 7x24 to fix this dog!

    You know, eBay was the only program I ever worked with. Since my earnings have gone south, I've now signed on with other programs in CJ, Linkshare, and Shareasale. It'll take some time to migrate my site over from ePN to populating a database with products from various datafeeds. Nevertheless, I am hopeful that things will be better.

    Good thing eBay isn't the only affiliate program out there.

    EPN doesn't work for me as well as CJ. I made some good money with EBAY/CJ before. Now it's time for me to try other merchants.

    I just had my best month yet. So I am happy with EPN. If there is some kind of problem, it is only affecting certain people.
