I bet they did it now because they knew people would start coming to their site to buy for Christmas regardless of affiliates. For the first week of QCP, my earnings were at 50% of what I made the previous months. After nearly 3 weeks, I'm at 90% of what I earned last month. I purchased a few long tail, low volume sites and added them to EPN on the 9th. My EPC dropped tremendously when I did that. I'm considering dropping all of the low click sites and focusing on building the higher volume, slightly higher EPC sites. One in particular could be switched to Amazon fairly easily, so if things don't work out with Ebay, I'll be ready to switch.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('17098','Atomm'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('17098','Atomm','FYI, as of today, Ebay\'s visitor numbers are up 6.6% over 3 months and the 1 month average s up 2.148%.\r\n\r\nI bet they did it now because they knew people would start coming to their site to buy for Christmas regardless of affiliates.\r\n\r\nFor the first week of QCP, my earnings were at 50% of what I made the previous months.

My earning look nothing like they did when presented in last months comparison. On one sale of $48.56 I got .06. Thats robbery. I also think there may be something else going on. One of my best sites was getting nearly 200 unique hits a day. So far through Oct 12 it was showing only 118 hits. I checked hostgator and is showed 5 times as many hits.
