Getting Ripped Off Big Time (Bot Attack)
Nov 9, 2009 08:55 PM
I just tallied my month to date earnings and would be having a record breaking earnings month if not for the bot attack at the beginning of the month. My EPC has been 0.00 for 5 days now but meanwhile people are buying a ton of stuff from my sites. I'm actually only making 7% of what I would be under the old methodology. That's 7%!

I know the EPN guys have visitors from Europe or something and are too busy to answer messages on this board but when you get a moment please answer this: at what point do you start paying me $ for the stuff I'm selling you guys?

I'm not understanding this at all. If someone can explain how any of this makes sense I'd appreciate it.

Heck, I only had an extra 600 clicks back in October for one day, and I'm still sitting at 0.00 and YES I too have had sales this month on the same campaign.

Catching the killer "after the fact" doesn't make the victim any less dead. :(

It is crazy...1075 clicks today...all capaigns at a whooping 0.00 epc. Is there not anyway to filter these bots? They don't show up in my logs at all!

7% of what? Can't help you if you don't give us enough info. The size of "what" is pretty significant in your case.

Divide your # clicks into your earning and if the quotient is less than 0.005 then QPC is working exactly as it should. You got screwed by ePN's decision to report EPC based only on 2 significant digits.
