Affiliate Parasites Exposed

I would like to know, why Is Google Such A Controlling-Censoring Company?Are they part of the NWO or something?

Well as we all know, eBay has been doing some dirty deeds on its sellers and affiliates for a while, and it still continues!It isn’t any surprise that the stench surrounding eBay/epn is very putrid!But to regain the “aw” feeling amongst the general public, they have tried to appear as a loving company that is fair and helps those that suffer financially in this world.

“WorldofGood.com by eBay is the world’s first online marketplace to convene thousands of People Positive and Eco Positive sellers and products all in one place, empowering you to shop in ways that align with your personal values. Respected, independent organizations verify the positive impact every product has on people and the planet. Our goal is to ensure that every choice you make here is a good one.”

OH PLEASE spare me!!!!! eBay can never change its spots, it will always be a money grubbing company that has only dollar signs in it’s eyes!This latest tactic is to try to convince the masses that they do indeed have a heart of gold!The only gold they have is from the sellers and affiliates they have screwed over the years and continue to do so!

What makes me laugh in disgust is they are calling this “Ebay’s Fair-Trade Market”Let me ask eBay this!When are you going to treat your affiliates fair?When are you going to make the sellers platform fair for all sellers big and small?When are you actually going to be fair for all the millions of people that have built your organization?I suspect the answer is NEVER!You see, once your bit by the greed bug, your ethics go out the window!Ebay’s ethical practises went out long ago!You may pretend to be a great company and actually care about the world and people’s lively hoods, but once a money sucking vampire, you know of only one way to feed, and that is off your sellers and affiliates!

Well for the first time, I am happy to offer the secret behind EPN’s QCP system!It took a while, but after carefull study and testing, I finally arrived at the secret formula that EPN operates with!Hope you affiliates out their take it all down and use it wisely!

I was just thinking the other day, that it would be nice to put forth some great tips that EPN affiliates could use, in order to reduce their chances of getting terminated!As I pondered on the idea at hand, it struck me!!!Their is nothing and I mean nothing that could, or will ever protect you from the mad behaviour of the rabid dogs at EPN.All logic and professional conduct goes out the window with these ass clowns!So be advised, if you really think you can win with these folks, forget it now!

You are merely on borrowed time, before you get smashed in the head, by one of the lunatics at EPN!The best move you can make, is to start bringing in other affiliate programs and working them in.Slowly start to get away from EPN, and if the day comes, and it will, you should be able to switch over easily!You see, EPN, does not want you as the affiliate, but if your willing to take crap earnings, and still drive the same traffic, well of course you will be with them, until you are all used up.If you find a way of making money through their unfair system, count on being terminated quickly!You see, their new system is not designed to reward you, so if if you are a success with it…..bye…bye little affiliate!

Well this isn’t really a surprise!With the new QCP system in place, I would imagine many affiliates have been reduced to making peanuts now!That being said, I’m sure eBay is raking in the profits now, being the greedy pigs they are!Why do affiliates stay with these morons?It boggles the mind!!!My suggestion to any affiliate, is to kick em to the curb, they are not a viable product anymore!End of story, move on and explore other options!EPN is dead!

Hello Partners,

As promised in our blog post from July, we will be removing the minimum threshold again for the November payment disbursement. The payment disbursement from Wednesday, November 25, 2009 will have no minimum threshold. This means that as long as your eBay Partner Network account is in good standing, you will receive your outstanding balance paid in full, even if your balance due is less than 25 (USD, CAD, EUR, GBP or AUD).

For the November 2010 disbursement we will remove the payment threshold again, allowing us to better serve you.

Note that as always, eBay Partner Network reserves the right to suspend payment temporarily if a Partner is placed under investigation for violation of our Code of Conduct or our Advertiser Terms and Conditions. In such a case, the Partner will be contacted.

Thank you for your continued partnership.
The eBay Partner Network Team

Here yet again is just another example of how EPN operates and the lack of support or anything resembling fairness!This poor affiliate like so many others, has been left stranded without an explanation or any support from the EPN staff.You would think since its a “working partnership”, they would do their best to help those people/affiliates, that drive masses of traffic to their site, to at the very least guide them and work with them to insure they are following the ever changing TOS at good old EPN.But instead, they just terminate, without exploring or explaining a damn thing!I look forward to the day when eBay is terminated from the face of the earth!

I am in complete shock. I was just notified that my sites were not generating quality after many years with ebay affiliate program (and high quality ratings the whole time) and what I believe to be very strong content built over many years on membership oriented sites. I had a spike in traffic one day on one site a few weeks ago which triggered a quality review. After providing logs and site info, I am totally shocked that my account has been terminated. I really did not think that would be the outcome of this.

I read about it on the boards happening to other people and thought that those people that get terminated must be doing something really wrong. I am an ebay developer too and I have been integrating ebay items onto my sites and have made tens of thousands of dollars every year for many years with ebay.

Seems like an explanation and a chance to know why there was a problem and take corrective action would be the right thing to do. It’s not like I have one site but a couple in 3 different niches.

Let this be a warning to you. Quality is a secret and most probably an excuse for some other mysterious force. The work you put into your site with respect to any affiliate program can be gone in an instant and you will never know why.

Did I mention I did not think it would happen to me?

BTW- here is the full email sent to me.

We ask that you please remove your affiliate links and update your payment information within 3 days. You will not be compensated for any traffic associated with your account after that date.

Spike in traffic, quality review, useless exchange of information, then termination.

I was terminated for no reason, and only had one account with EPN.I have sense learned that most big affiliates have at least 200 diiferent accounts registered with EPN.This will protect them from suffering from EPN’s crazy banning tactics…..I’m told.How does one acquire this many accounts?And why does EPN allow this?Your thoughts?

EPN Forum Sucks!

Most forums on the internet, can be a good source of knowledge and fun.But like most things in life, their are always those that fall short…some very short indeed! The EPN forum is one such forum……it’s perhaps the worst forum I have ever had the misfortune of visiting!The forum monitors hardly if ever come forward to put things right about policy changes and general questions.They tend to leave all affiliates in the dark, where they are confused and set upon by smartass affiliates that hang-out on the boards.I’m sure the PINKS(as their called), have been instructed to ignore all questions from affiliates….by the EPN legal team.You don’t answer, your not liable….thus no court actions against good old honest EPN.

It would appear that this stance is intended, so as to not allow affiliates to flourish and succeed.By keeping all affiliates in the dark, you have power over them, and can ban them anytime you please.Those affiliates that have an attitude and are rather smartasses, are nothing but brownnosers!Sadly they just don’t understand that they too are potential banning targets!The only affiliates that are safe, are the black hatters!If they get banned, they just get another account, and continue!So a my advice to all affiliates that go to the EPN forum, is to stop…..they will never help you, instead they want to eventually ban you…so wake up!I would also say, that going the black hat way is best!Just do it!Affiliate marketing is cut-throat and run by crooked companies like eBay!To win you must fight fire with fire!

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!

EPN or “eBay Partner Network” is a publisher network affiliate program, where you earn commissions by simply referring people from your website to eBay. This is one tough program to be a member of for one simple reason: it is very easy to get banned……..read
