I delete most of the crap they send me. Transparency is a joke. They have a new guy, I think his name is Casey, running the show, he got beat up pretty good on the EPN forum in his intro thread.
Your suggestions and comments about eBay Partner Network wanted in Special Discussion Boards in Community
Yeah, I had a couple poor months, but it has picked back up again. I still have no idea why. QPC seems to be pretty arbitrary.
If you are clean you might be ok. Time to diversify monetization on your sites.
I haven't touched a lot of my EPN sites recently, but since the majority of them run on a2p or phpBay then I am assuming those plugins are the culprit for my transparency problem. However, I wasn't aware that either of these plugins hide the referring URL unless I missed one of the settings somewhere.
phpBay actually does pass on the referring url to ensure compliance with EPN's rules. You can verify that with the Live HTTP Headers Firefox plugin. There was a big discussion about this a little while back on the phpBay forum when EPN started getting paranoid about this.
gotcha.
It looks to be a2p then. I just checked the a2p forums and there was a post about this.
Gathering server logs can be a real pain in the ass if you have several sites on several hosting accounts. What I did when this happened to me was create a special gmail account tied to my main Analytics and then gave them access to it so they snoop around in there. You can control which sites they see if you don't want them to see your fetish sites.
That did the job and my account was reinstated. However, I was not compensated for the time my account was suspended or for the years lost on my life due to stress.
I'm not using Ganalytics on those sites, I've downloaded logs (sites spread on 3 different hosting accounts, nothing special ) and prepared a well organized spreadsheet with campaign ids, domains, logfile names, everything they could ever want to see.
100% organic traffic. I wouldn't have anything to worry about if I hadn't read so many random account banning stories, but I hope some of such cases are just one side of the story.
I'll send all the stuff to them tonight or tomorrow morning.

If it's all organic then I'd be surprised if they didn't reinstate your account. The real tragedy with my suspension was that they said I couldn't send traffic to MY OWN SITES anymore via Twitter. Once they reinstated my account they sent an apology email saying that was erroneous and it was still okay to drive traffic from Twitter to my own sites. This was of course after I had re-actively deleted Twitter accounts with thousands of followers as an act of blind compliance.
Good luck.
Good luck.
I'm happier with EPN as of late. Last month I had a $0.28 EPC and doubled my earning from March. This month I'm tracking a $0.39 EPC. Clicks are way up and earnings too. Cant say why, but I'm getting some good targeted traffic as of late, so that must be converting well enough to start earning more.
Ebay already fucked me over! Doing almost $1K a day and then the TOS change and bam they no longer wish to do business with me, wankers! To much power and not enough brains to see that I was a valuable affiliate, but fuck them it's their loss I have bigger fish to fry.
I got that email today. They said 57% of my referrers were unknown. I only use phpBay, not a2p or anything else.
I am using an older version of the plugin though so that might be the reason. I'll update it on all my sites and see if that fixes the problem.
my ACRU's have been up last month and this month so far, and they don't really seem to be rewarding me at all for them. EPC was .14 last month and only .09 so far this month
I'm down at least 40% from this time last year

I was making $3500-$4500 on the old program.
I've increased traffic to a couple of my better EPN sites since then. I'd probably be in the $6000+ range monthly if we were still on the old system.
April was my best earning month so far on QCP.
