EzineArticles Getting Strict On Submissions

Posted by on Oct 20, 2009 in Affiliate Marketing | 4 comments

Well I was submitting some of my articles to EA after I read their blog post after they said they were going to start rejecting a bunch.

I submitted 4 articles and they all went to the end of the submission process and finally I got a…

“Problem: Your article body does not fulfill the promise made in the article title.”

So I went through the articles and I really have no idea what they are talking about. Each one of my articles were like “21 ways to”, “5 ways to”. My title matched exactly what the body did. So I sent them an email asking WTF about this and we will see on the results.

If they are rejecting my articles then I guarantee that the other 100′s a day that are just for affiliate promotion are getting rejected too. Affiliate marketers are what helped make EA to what it is today. Now it seems they are going to shut the door on us.

Anyone else get rejected yet?

Catching Back Up With Earnings

Posted by on Nov 29, 2008 in Affiliate Marketing, BANS | 6 comments

When I left off it was back in July posting my earnings. After that I thought I was banned from EPN but turned out that I wasn’t. Since then my earnings have been a steady [pay]$1,000[/pay] average. I still haven’t done anything to any of the sites in about 6 months. This is truly a set and forget network of sites.

This was only possible though because the careful research prior to making the sites. Picking the niche and keywords are obviously the most important part of doing this as I have proven. To see how I did all of it just read all my posts. :)

Really don’t know if I will keep updating the blog for this network since its kind of boring. All I have been doing is posting screenshots of earnings since I made all the posts about how to do it.

Maybe Ill move on to something a little more challenging like clickbank.

Anyways here are the earnings from August, September, October, November

My EPN Quality Score Is Medium

Posted by on Sep 13, 2008 in Affiliate Marketing, BANS | 6 comments

So I still dont know if I am banned from EPN. I sent an email to Steve who works at eBay and he told be they would review my account. Well I havent heard back in 2 weeks now.

Everything about my account is still working though. Im still eligible for payments and all tracking is going good. They even added a new reporting function that calculates quality score and Im at medium. That is just odd to me since I got banned for a low quality score.

Still would like to know if I can turn back on my adwords account since that was bringing in 75% of my profits.

Am I Banned From EPN Or What

Posted by on Aug 30, 2008 in Affiliate Marketing, BANS | 2 comments

I submitted a request to have my account reviewed the day after I received my email. Havent got a response back yet.

But according to the email my account was going to be terminated on the 27th. Well its still alive and kicking as normal. Does this mean my account is going to remain active or they will just continue to track my earnings but not pay me.

Anyways, if you are experiencing the same thing let me know.

Your eBay Partner Network Account Terminated

Posted by on Aug 22, 2008 in Affiliate Marketing, BANS | 14 comments

Well I got that lovely message as many others have. Only thing I can do is submit a request for review. From what I have been reading they have been reinstating people. If worse comes to worse Im guessing Ill just have to delete most of my sites and only keep the higher quality ones. Which wont put me back too much. Heres the email…

<>Â Dear Aaron Nimocks,

During a recent review of eBay Partner Network publisher accounts and site metrics data for clicks your account drives to eBay.com, we determined that the traffic generated from your account is significantly less engaged with the eBay site as compared to the standards set by our other affiliates. While we appreciate your efforts to drive traffic to our Advertiser sites, we do not think that it is mutually beneficial to further our business relationship at this time. As a result, we will be expiring your eBay Partner Network account in 7 days and we request that you remove all of your eBay Partner Network affiliate links by that time. Payment will take place as per the Network Agreement for any traffic driven to eBay Advertiser sites prior to the expiration date of August 27, 2008.

One of our account managers will contact you if a more appropriate business opportunity arises to work together again in the future.

Regards,

The eBay Partner Network

July Affiliate Earnings For EPN

Posted by on Aug 2, 2008 in Affiliate Marketing, BANS | 13 comments

Well July is finally over and its been my best month yet. I’m very very surprised my earnings haven’t went down yet since I have hardly did any work on the sites at all. Not to mention I haven’t touched them in over a month and 1/2.

So far 2 writers have took the job to write content for my 50 sites and both of them ditched me. So I am still sitting with no unique content.

Just to recap some of the tools Ive used to get here…

Terapeak – Hands down the best tool to do research
bookmarking demon – When you have a bunch of sites this is the easiest way to build links.
digiXMAS – Best directory submission software out there.

Well heres the screen shot of where I was at this month. I tell you this is the easiest thing I ever done to make money. Hardly no work required. :)

Just to add Ive made [pay]$2,493.18[/pay] in the three months Ive been doing this.
