WOW – EPN reveals WHY my campaigns SUCK!

January 28, 2010 |  1 Comment

I can’t believe this. A new blog entry dated 1-27-10 form the EPN blog now states the following: It’s possibly the most important thing a publisher can do to help understand their performance and make informed decisions to optimize their activity. It is also recommended that each campaign generates a minimum of 50-100 clicks in [...]

Are you addicted to stats?

January 18, 2010 |  5 Comments

Why am I addicted to stats? I’m pretty anal but seriously, when stat checking and analyzing get in the way of productive work, is that a problem? Am I alone? Do you find yourself logging into the EPN dashboard every hour, half hour, fifteen minutes knowing that the stats you see are the same. Are [...]

EPN Algorithim is CRAP!

January 10, 2010 |  No Comments

The EPN partner service they use sucks. I can’t believe that a bot attack on one site still continues to kill my EPC. I still am sitting at .03 per click for the fourth day in a row. Since the attack I’m sending traffic that converts and right now, eBay has made about 50% more [...]

My EPN EPC score has reached an all time low…. .03 per click! WOW! This is unbearable, but I should expect it for the stupid damn attack I had a few days ago. I guess this is their way of making up the money they paid to me. I know my campaign quality is way [...]

Well it finally got me on Sunday. A bot attack that ramped up one campaign to 350 clicks. This would be awesome if there were more than 30 uniques to go with those click throughs. I’ve seen my EPC steadily drop and today it posted at .04! This just sucks. How the hell am I [...]

SEO updates for EPN sites

December 28, 2009 |  No Comments

The link campaigns have begun and so far, in about a week I’m seeing nominal return. This is to be expected, it’s not a race, it’s a journey. If you think blasting 1000′s of backlinks a day is good, well then, go ahead and do that. The key to success is having a plan in [...]

December 21, 2009 |  No Comments

Just kidding. I know that as we get closer to Christmas and through the new year that traffic falls flat. Good news is that I’m really learning and doing a lot of SEO work at this time. I’m tired of throwing out these thin sites that aren’t getting any traffic. So, if I can throw [...]

It’s my first day this month with sub double digit earnings. BOOOOOO!!!!!!! I had a goal of making at least $10 per day and yesterday I didn’t make it. My traffic is being killed by Google right now and I have no idea why. I’m getting some really erratic clicks for the niches that I’m [...]

New SEO adventure in my future

December 18, 2009 |  2 Comments

For months I’ve been lurking and reading various forums about the tricks and trades of quality SEO. I have to say that I’ve definitely learned a lot! But, in saying that, there is also a lot of work to do it. You can’t just endlessly submit to the same article directories over, and over, and [...]

I finally did it! One of my loyal readers, or just a lone passer by taking my word for it, hit on one of my most beloved plugins here and picked up, Auction2Post. So, whoever you are, or were, thank you! You will not be disappointed with the software. It is highly configurable and has [...]
