dvd2sl, I have tried SMF because it's free, but was continually attacked by hackers and bots. Then I tried UBB Threads, but it is difficult to skin and seems to cache data that it shouldn't even though the settings tell it not too. I was thinking about vBulletin, but I belong to a forum that uses it and, as a user, I have a lot of problems with cookies not sticking and occasional screen formating causing me to have to scroll horizontally. It's not my Vista/IE8 computer as I experience the...

I use cpanel. Is there an easy way to view log files that tell you which exit links are being clicked?

Hi there In October I earned around $45 for clicks alone and maybe bits for sales but thats it... If I do a report I can see the $45 but can't see the money from the sales. Do they ever come out on the same report or do you have to download a transaction report for this...Are they separate things? And when do you get paid for October?

Hi guys I checked a few things out...Adsense pays me an average of .30cents a click and Ebay is paying me .15cents a click....( made up figures, but close) But is it better to have someone click on an Ebay ad because you can make further earnings? I haven't had any proof of this yet because I am new to this...but is this statement true? Can you earn big bucks with Ebay on say 40 clicks a day or do you have to have hundreds of clicks to earn anything? Also, do you still get paid...

I've just noticed that my dashboard is defaulting to showing only earnings through eBay US, so that I'm not seeing my total earnings through all programs. Is this a problem with reports anyone else is seeing?

I'm new to Ebay, but it seems everytime I add new links to my site, my EPC goes down to 0.00. I started being paid October 26th after having links up for over a week and a half, then when I added probably 300 more text links last week, my EPC went back down to 0.00. I did preview some of my links and I'm wondering if that caused the drop in EPC.

Dear eBay, Regarding what was described in this forum... Link This is occurring again. I'm (at the moment) a small publisher who gets less than 20 clicks a day, so my EPC is supposed to be grouped with others in this category. For five days now, going on 5 (11/9-11/13), I haven't been paid for my clicks at all. I've begun to see a pattern. This happened last month after a single day of zero clicks. Again, this started happening the day after I had a day of zero clicks. What...

I've been an Ebay affiliate for a year now. I don't sell t hings, I have ads on my site. I've been paid on 1/20/09, 4/23/09, and 7/21/09, via Paypal. So that means I should've been paid around October 20 09 - and yet I haven't seen anything, and the "outstanding balance" is still credited to my account. And yes, they do owe me a few bucks. If they've changed when we get paid, I've missed it, so if anyone can let me know when the next payment is due, I'd appeciate it.

I searched the forum, but couldn't find anything specifically regarding this. As of yesterday's update, my Outstanding Balance under the Payment History tab was still showing $0.00. It seems at this point, the amount to be paid later in the month has usually been posted by now. Did something change now that we've gone to the new program, or is it due to the November payout regardless of balance? Is everyone showing $0.00 or is it just my account?

Wonder if anyone else is seeing an issue with tracking impressions using the editor kit? I an using a number of EKs on my site of various sizes (set using &eksize). Those EKs using eksize=1 (the default) are tracking impressions and clicks, i.e. are working as expected. Those EKs using other eksize (tried 2 and 6) track clicks ok but not impressions. In some cases the code is identical apart from eksize. Anyone else seen this or have any solutions / suggestions?

Why does it seem that when I launch a marketing campaign to drive a spike in clicks, my EPC drops for that day? It really seems like the more traffic you drive the lower your EPC gets???? Also im having days with .02 cent EPC that have bids and sales and activity. Can EPN just decide to pay whatever they want for any given day or is there some finite ryme or reason to this?? Or is this a "we tweak our algorythm all the time" type scenario....

I have been a member now for more then 4 years and have gone with the flow with all the changes. But what is happening now this month is raising a red flag. My EPC has always been very consistent until this month.... my average EPC the last 3 months was .53 11/1/09 0.48 11/2/09 0.44 11/3/09 0.43 11/4/09 0.42 11/5/09 0.46 11/6/09 0.45 11/7/09 0.40 11/8/09 0.44 11/9/09 0.38 11/10/09 0.36 11/11/09 0.35 My traffic and clicks are all...

When a potential buyer is looking at a $10,000 antique, they are looking first and then only buying carefully or not at all. They CLICK, look, watch and then take a few days to decide. Maybe, someone out of a few hundred of those shopping clickers will ultimately go for it. How do you compare 500 $.10 clicks at $50 to a commission of $500 on the $10,000 item? The QCP isn't exactly fair when it comes to selling vintage or antique items through EPN. Or, is this the new way to "Spread the...

Hi All, Ok that's the 1st month over for existing affiliates on QCP. Just looking to see how it has worked out for folks now that it is live and not a preview. It would be interesting in this thread to see how others are doing and if possible kept on topic To check I have taken the average of the previous three months earnings and compared it to this months earnings. Whilst it is still early days really and could change in the coming months so far I am up quite a bit. So...
