Re the new QCP – I have noticed a massive increase of clicks on 3 of my ebay niche sites with an unusally low purchase %.

Then I checked my access logs and I suspect a competitor of mine has been spending hours just clicking my ebay ads to lower my click quality !!

Does ebay have any ip monitoring in place to stop this happening ?

@Christian

It’s true, Google doesn’t like affiliates (unfortunately I know as well), but if you have more to offer than only links they might accept your website. Contact them and try to find out why they don’t want your site to appear in their ads. Then you can optimize your site for a better ‘user experience’. But always stay in good contact with them and they are willing to help.

hmmmmm…….

something does not seem right, if Harmjan Heeling was sending good quality traffic (3,000 clicks a day/WOW) and not making a miniature fortune then the statement is an oxymoron itself.

his traffic is NOT good quality traffic plain and simple.

21,000 clicks per week, 90,000 per month!
working off a commission the earnings should be outrageous.

The reports show I will make more money with new platform myself too but seems like we are not getting rewarded for the sale. If I am responsible for selling a used airplane I should be compensated as if I did. Instead it seems folks like Harmjan Heeling will be the beneficiary of it who send a ton of traffic but are not responsible for the sales.

not to sound like a disbeliever about this post but please tell me Harmjan Heeling – how much money do you earn – not exactly, a rough idea? sending almost 100k people a month to eBay?

Let me ask this. Since Google absolutely despises affiliates, and every single Adwords campaign that I’ve created to push traffic to an EPN site has been slapped with a 1/10 quality score within weeks of it’s start, how are these guys getting campaigns to last long enough to see any decent results.

I’m sure they don’t just hate my EPN sites.

Hi JP,

I can confirm that it is not only Harmjan earning on the ePN this way, many of our UK publishers use Google adwords to drive targeted traffic to their niche sites who then go onto eBay to bid on items. The majority of these types of publishers are earning more on the QCP model than before due to the quality of the traffic they are delivering using good landing sites and adwords.

If you have any further questions please feel free to drop me an email, matthewh@ro-eye.co.uk

Hi JP,

Indeed I added a lot of ePN campaigns. Adding campaigns ID’s in ePN can help measure traffic better, by comparing AdWords campaigns with ePN campaigns.

I’m skeptical as well. Why wouldn’t ebay hire seo specialists and start effective targetted adwords campains themselves? My take is that they do not want to pay the high adword prices, instead, get the same type of targeted traffic from current affiliates at a greater reduced rate.

So let me get this straight– Mr. Heeling is paying Google Adwords clicks to drive traffic to his eBay clicks, he’s adding campaigns and making more money than before.

Sorry, I really can’t see how this is possible.

“…While he belongs to a number of affiliate programs, Heeling says eBay Partner Network stands alone among them in its quest to reward affiliates for both quality and quantity…”

Does the above line mean that EPN is his best earning affiliate program– one of his best??

I’m really trying to work with this change, but…

still skeptical,
