Hey guys, Im not a noob to am but I am when it comes to phpbay. Last weekend I rolled out a new site using phpbay. I'm pretty happy with the result. When I roll out a new campaign with lets say neverblue, I can test my links immediately to make sure everything is koshier, how do you do this with phpbay?

I have cleared my cookies and clicked some of my links just to check and my epn account shows no clicks, so maybe it takes sometime to update, I'm not sure but I sure would appreciate some wisdom as it would suck to get traffic and not get credit for it! I did a search for it but didn't seem to find anything.
 


EPN is usually 3-6 hours behind.

Also, PPC to EPN sites are usually a losing proposition. I had one site, bloodsweatandtri.com, that had $1000+ bikes and I lost about $200 ($260 PPC spend and $64 EPN earnings).


Just a suggestion, but maybe throw out 5-10 different sites and let them rank organically. Put 10 new sites out each month (or day if you can afford it) and just keep grinding. After a month, let them sit/simmer. Make sure you're using a Google Sitemap plugin (XML Sitemaps) for wordpress so each new post gets shot to Google.

If PPC is working for you early on, cool, but just heed my advice about building more and more sites. The more you build, the more you profit.
 
The problem with PPC and EPN is that it's hard to track shit. Sometimes you won't earn anything from that click for a week or two, maybe even 30 days after they clicked your ad.

Thanks for sharing bro, I appreciate it, I had thought maybe there would be a lagtime with epn and clicks. Good to know for sure! I hadn't planned on doing any ppc with my phpbay sites. I had planned to get the site submitted to some directories and social networks etc. Definitly want to scale out as you said bb_wolfe and create lots of sites, I turned this one out in about 12 hours. So duplication is the plan. Thanks bud I appreciate the advice.

@Jamesh - I have definitly been curious about tracking with the phpbay sites. Usually I have a program that tracks everything for me for my paid search campaigns. It didn't seem ppc would have that great of a return and plus the tracking at keyword level.

Thanks guys.....Cheers
 
The best for EPN is organic traffic. I did get some good amount of ACRUs from advertising on facebook, but I dunno about the quality of traffic.
