Id like to find out who is doing some ebay EPN and using tools like

phpbay pro
a2p
BANS
mcjiffy
custom tools
etc...

I have some questions about the program and some problems as well and would like to maybe start a skype chat or at least have a thread we can discuss things and PM each other.

Just list yourself here and we can go from there.
 


Ive got phpbay, bans, and a2p. I have a few REALLY old bans sites still running but they get hacked a lot because of shit code.

I haven't used any of them in a LONG time because ebay fucked over all its affiliates.
 
I use A2P manly now, and a bit of phpbaypro. I really wish I was doing more with my EPN sites. They have the potential to make good money, but if you have one low day of clicks, it fucks the rest of the month. I just can't figure it out.

By the way, the A2P member login has been fixed..finally.

Please login
 
A2P + PHPBay here, mostly A2P though. Even pushing some adwords on long tail keywords for some of my A2P sites. EPC is usually around the 0.20 to 0.50 mark. Over xmas the fuckers skyrocketed to 1.50 - god I love santa claus. :)

PHPBay on 404 pages from deleted A2P posts works great too and only requires a little bit of code bashing.
 
I'm using EPN (check the site in my sig). All the stuff I'm doing is custom coded (not that there's much to code for what I'm trying to do).
 
Still makin a little coin since the QCP switch... using all the tools in this thread except Mcjiffy.
 
I have a few BANS sites. The code is shit, but they do decent and would do better if I invested a bit more time going through the code and enabling it to actually target the keywords, the Admin area keeps overwriting any changes I make to the values in the database.
 
I did BANS a long time ago but they went bust. I'm All phpBay & phpZon these days with of course a large amount of AdSense.

-I PM'd you on the other forum.
 
was BANS then phpbay+a2p now.

hey..for a2p expired auctions..do those clicks count anymore for EPN?
 
I'm not sure if this thread is where we want to continue epn discussions, but I'm going to anyway.

I was looking at stats for last month and I noticed something strange. I have a site that had EPN products in the sidebar. It's been doing a couple hundred bucks a month for a while now. I just checked February's stats, and the site is showing nearly 3000 clicks, but no CRU or ACRU earnings. It had 17 BIN & 8 winning bids for $7.00 in winning bid revenue, yet I made $0.00. Something doesn't seem right because I have another site that had 800 clicks, no cru or acru, 7 BIN & 7 winning bids and it made me $50. The niches are relatively similar. How does this happen? Luckily I had a couple of sites that hadn't been doing shit, come through and make a few hundred each, which was nice to see, but there's nothing consistent anymore.

Prime example of why the quality click pricing is STILL a complete mystery.

Sounds like they de-grouped it. Bottom line; they didn't think that one camp's performance was good enough.

You guys have gotten me to actually login to download the newest versions of a2p and phpbay. The old sites that I have could probably use some real work.
 
^^ ive been doing the same, I didnt know an upgrade on phpbay pro happened on 12-11-10 as the amember area didnt list it.

Will be heading to a2p next
