As for EBAY, sounds like a major case of "Do as I Say and Not as I Do". I guess that is good for affiliates, since we get to pick up the slack and get some money for it, however, if EBAY were not who they were, their site would be a prime example of what they say NOT to build. "sites that contain very little other than affiliate ads and AdSense" This is a very succinct description of EBAY, on a larger scale of course, but accurate none the less. If fact this is probably why most of the affiliate programs come out of the box looking like mini-EBAY site. They write the checks, so we do what we have to do, but their treatment of some of the affiliates has been less then professional or smart.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('15808','Kwame'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('15808','Kwame','Great info, I always enjoy your efforts to inform.

“sites that contain very little other than affiliate ads and AdSense”

This is a very succinct description of EBAY, on a larger scale of course, but accurate none the less. If fact this is probably why most of the affiliate programs come out of the box looking like mini-EBAY site.

Last year I was focused on quantity instead of quality, but have turned things around and started focusing on adding content to existing sites instead of building more and I'm starting to see better results because of it.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('15806','Sonia'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('15806','Sonia','I have been bumped up to the $40 ACRU level since January so I guess according to eBay\'s standards, I\'m bringing in quality visitors.

Some of my sites are pretty thin but they aren't found unless you really hit a specific keyword. Brand X widget model 12345 is the kind of stuff I get with relatively low bounce rates. Would EPN terminate me because the site is thin even though the traffic is very targeted for those products and converts?<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('15799','Mark Speener'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('15799','Mark Speener','I wonder about traffic quality and how EPN decides if they want to terminate you.\r\n\r\nSome of my sites are pretty thin but they aren\'t found unless you really hit a specific keyword.
