First, look at your clicks and do they come from organic visits to your website. In example, do you get many visits from people who are searching and finding your website? I use Google Analytics for that measure.

Second, do people sign up and register at ebay via links on your sights. In the reports it's called ACRU. If people click though to ebay on your site, and sign up, and the faster they purchase something the better quality the click through and the better your earnings.

Third, what tools do you use? Ebay banner ads can create a lot of impressions but not the same clicks and this is measured against your quality click throughs.

Also, what's you EPC and what type of sites do you run? Are your sites full of relevant and orginal content with ebay ads for that particular content or is it a software download site, etc.?

A little more info can go a long was in some of us helping you to narrow down the issue.

If you have less than 50 clicks a day then you are in the pool and getting paid the pool EPC (usually we have seen that to be around .13). If you're own EPC would have been less than that then the algoritym has to adjust and correct for over paying you the first 7 days. As been stated many times on this forum that there is a pool (actually I see two as I have many campaigns from the beginning and I am over 50 clicks a day and my campaigns are pooled based on my WBR and clicks). Look at your earnings for the month and if you have ACRUs in your report (have to run it for eBay only) subtract $25 for each. Take WBR and divide it by that and if you are higher than 55-65% then the algorithym is adjusting your earnings to get back in line with what is due to you.

No. I can look at traffic sources in analytics and see how many visits came from organic key word or key word phrases to my website.

That is visits/hits not clicks.

In this EPN context and analytics in general, clicks generally refers to outclicks from your site. You have to enable event tracking to see them.

I didn't say it was required but that's the best way to increase or check

If people click though to ebay on your site, and sign up, and the faster they purchase something the better quality the click through and the better your earnings.

I was clarifying. When you ran it all together it could sound like you have to sign them up to get paid.

You will see that impressions are listed. It's still part of the measure no matter what anyone admits, it states so in the User Manual.

Not to state the obvious but that same sentence says number of bids too.

Nevertheless, in the past, eBay has denied that impressions are factored in. (can't find a reference for it) And they don't require impression pixels, though they recommend them.

Impressions do tie tightly to earnings in my experience. But testing indicates that increasing impressions doesn't affect QCP, at least not directly. Though some deeper analysis may be in play at the very least unique impressions.

Poof?

You're projecting/misunderstanding again. Colons are often used on the Internet/chat/email to denote an action.

:::poof::: was just me disappearing again...

and we don't really need a lecture/explanation about how the world should work and how everyone should act with every post.

That was me.

You're welcome.

When I refer to organic clicks, I was directing the OP to look outside EPN for a possible problem with visitors not being organic and less likely to buy the items they're promoting.

I didn't mean to imply this had anything to do with EPN directly.

I agree bids help, stated that before, but ebay doesn't earn money per bid. The entire reason for this discussion.

Sorry that I misunderstood "poof" I am not up on the chat lingo.

In addition, I am not lecturing on how everyone should act on every post. It was a misunderstanding on my part about your disappearing again reference, and not on how you should reply to anyone else.

I am just trying to stay civil and encouraging such. I have been party to some discussions that went off the deep end and became rude and spiteful. I just didn't want to go there with anyone.

Thanks for all the information  appreciated

I need to check at end of month my clicks etc to see if the pattern is the same every month on the same as at the moment it looks like it is repeating itself on the days where i am getting no earnings for my  clicks,i totaly understand that not everyone is going to buy from my link just a little anoying that the same pattern emerges and strange thing is that the earnings are not to far apart either each month.

just a quick update over past 5 days over 200 clicks but no epc showing and no earnings 5 days previous  190 clicks epc betweem 0.20 and 0.16 and  £17 earnings  still not convinced all being tracked properly

As stated earlier what is your Month to date Winning Bid Revenue divided by Clicks? Above 75-85% with no ACRUs then the algorithm is adjusting to having over paid earlier in the month. Have you had any WBR the last five days? No WBR then there is nothing much to pay you for. Unless you have steady days of clicks and WBR then the algorithm has to adjust what it pays. If your WBR/Clicks for several days is less the .005 then your EPC will be zero also. The algorithm seems to take longer to recover from going to an EPC of zero than if it has over paid you. Looking at EPC on a daily basis will drive you nuts unless you are a steady with all things connected to the algorithm.
