I am going to give it at least 2 months of my time, I'll analyise traffic and decide which sites to keep ePN and which to ditch.

Don’t make any decisions too quickly, give the new ePN structure time to settle in before deciding to move on. I am going to give it at least 2 months of my time, I’ll analyise traffic and decide which sites to keep ePN and which to ditch.

Currently, under the new system, sending targeted traffic I would be earning 100% more under QCP than the current structure.

The just converted to a “pay per click” model, that pays less than Google Adsense. They word it as their Quality Click Pricing is basically a system to change your earnings to whatever they want to pay. EPN is going to pay about 1/4th of what is was paying before. This was verified with not just my account, but hundreds of other Affiliates, and 99% are being paid only a fraction of before, even though everything was white hat and quality traffic that converted.

My site is in the "Collectables" genre, and as such, I feel a lot of potential eBay buyers will see the item they wish to bid on shortly after the item is listed, through my links, but will simply put it on their "Watch" list, and then come back near close of auction to place their bids.

Your Transaction Reports aren't telling what you think they should about just what it is your selling - are your winning bids and acru's really on target. For a fact, the Transaction Report will tell you, as I described in the prior post, that you can find out how soon your visitor purchased the item at eBay once you directed them there (click to sale). Another tool to use is the "Category" report. Targeting the Category. Goto Reports> Run Reports> Select report type as "Category". Also have the option to use specific campaign id's. This will help you gauge what piece of the "pie" is really on target for that campaign. Those two reporting tools should allow you to gauge your time to sale and target category.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('16821','Sean'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('16821','Sean','So, you have your total earnings.

@ Rochelle and Jake – BIN is factored higher than auctions… from what I can tell, it is the easiest way to increase your quality, since your visitor is buying exactly what you told them they need…
