Ready to Start Working
Well I took a small vacation to Disney World for a week and I was actually starting to work again down there but now I am back and ready to go.
If you read my last post you can see that I shifting my main focus over to content writing. I know this is not a high paying job but I think it is what I need since I can’t handle website maintenance while in the Navy. So for the most part I will just be doing freelance copywriting for now until I actually get some time to make some serious money again. The site actually took off pretty good. In a week so far the site sold around 60,000 words total which is only $600 but that’s not really too bad in a little over a week.
As for some side work I am thinking about doing I will give you a taste of what I am thinking. First off to go along with the writing aspect I most likely will be doing some bum marketing. The key to this one is actually very simple. Pay attention because you might learn something.
1. Find a Clickbank niche
2. Find great long tail keywords
3. Write a fairly decent article
4. Post on Ezinearticles
5. Pay Microworkers to Stumble my article on Ezinearticles
6. Rinse and repeat
I will go through all of these steps and why to do it in another post and will most likely use a live example of what I am doing step by step. For everyone that has registered here before to view my hidden content I deleted that list and removed that plugin. The biggest reason I did this is because it was well over my Hostgator email limit so most emails were not being sent and I don’t feel like modding the script to use a different mail server. So you will no longer get email notifications.
Read MoreBack From The Dead
As you all may have guessed it I haven’t posted in awhile. This was mostly due to being deployed in the US Navy for 6 months and I just got back. During the time away I received a ton of messages asking me the status of my little eBay affiliate testing. I will post that info tomorrow on everything that was missed but as I found out you can’t just let the sites sit there.
That’s why I am going to be shifting my MAIN focus for now. Think I will lay off of doing affiliate marketing and SEO since it is extremely hard to do while sitting in the middle of the ocean with an internet connection that rarely works. Then when it does work it takes 5 minutes to load a page.
Anyways if you still want to follow along then I will be making posts again!
Read MoreCatching Back Up With Earnings
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
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.
Read MoreAm I Banned From EPN Or What
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.
Read MoreYour eBay Partner Network Account Terminated
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…

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.

Launching New Site – Huge Contest
Decided to spread my wings a little more and do something that I have always wanted to do. That is to create a webmaster forum. Think I first started thinking about it about 2 years ago but never really had the time. Now I do!
Im planning on launching the site on September 1st. Main reason is because I will be off of work for 2 weeks so I will have nothing better to do during that time.
When the site launches there will be a forum / referral contest that starts. There is currently around $2,000 worth of prizes but I’m still looking for more sponsors. I’m being very careful about who I get to sponsor this contest because the last thing I want is someone backing out.
Here is the list of prizes and you can sign up to receive updates on the launch if you want. I wont send you an email for anything but about the contest. As all of you know that are registered here, I don’t spam.
