Affiliate Parasites Exposed

EPN is the inhouse affiliate program for eBay.One of the things EPN constantly complains about is low quality traffic from it’s affiliates.Many affiliates have been banned due to this.As with many of EPN’s policies, this is another one that shows just how stupid they are really.I mean, how can you control what people do on your site….you can’t!Some are just looking around, others are ready to buy…simple as that!Alot of click thrus are a result of bots.EPN says that they filter out some bots, but not all.Here’s the funny thing, EPN has their own bots.Yes these bots will go to your site and click through, so as to lower your epc, so you don’t have high quality of traffic…..saves them money you see, and puts you in the banning arena for the future.

It also alows them to mine your keywords…by which they store in their data base.Once they get enough long-tail keywords, you can expect to get the chop!Then they take over the high ranking search slots you once had.It’s all part of their plan…you do all the hard work, they gather your long-tail keywords…..they over-run you with their bots, and say that you have low quality traffic…they then make up the story that you are sending low-quality traffic…and then you get banned!Pretty good plan for them…all win-win for eBay!Do yourself a favour and just get out of the game, they will eventually screw all affiliates, that are not blackhat!Why do you think so many affiliates turn to blackhat tactics…..now you know!Bastard companies like eBay…spawn blackhatters!I know several affiliates that have 200 plus EPN accounts each….they know how to play EPN and win.And to win…you must be as crooked as EPN!
