Chitika, dude, maybe I need to dust that account off. Thanks for the idea.

How you doin, Splork?

I’m bored so I thought I’d go read some blogs. Now I know I’m bored cause I’m writing comments.

I know what you mean about writing hub pages full of crap that I don’t care about and probably neither does anyone else. But have faith. They do start making some decent dosh once you get close to 200 of the damn things.

Just thought I’d make you feel better…

That’s the way eBay is for sellers too Denise, make a little money and BAM! Rule Change!!! That’s why I stopped selling there in 2005.

And Joe, I converted a lot of my old EPN Blogger blogs over to Chitika. It’s been OK so far, not as good as EPN with ACRUs but about the same in terms of raw earning per click.

Hey Denise. Yea, ironic that I write a post talking about Ebay and the next day the program implements a program that is going to screw my plans. I’ve since gone back to building Hubpages. And readjusting a select batch of Ebay sites with Amazon and other affiliate programs. Bob and weave. I’d suggest holding out and seeing how it works out. You may not see a difference.

Hey Splork!
EBay is really beginning to suck! They are constantly changing their rules.
I just get one site making a little coin and BAM! (rule change)
I have limited time and I do not want to have to go back and re-edit everything every couple of weeks.

They are worse to deal with than Google.

Ok, thanks. I’ve also just read their newest update and I think I’ve cracked their high cost per click quality system.

They want their affiliates to find old, rich, ultra-expensive-antique-shopaholic-collectors who have somehow never heard of the internet or ebay. They want us to tell her hey, read my website, click once through to ebay, and be a life-time buyer from ebay from then on. That should get you a pretty high CPC.

Now find 100,000 such collectors and really rake in the money. (just having fun, I have no idea what will really happen)

Thanks Brawnydt. That’s pretty much what I’m doing except without the video. I’m going to utilize more CJ and Shareasale offers I think instead of Ebay. Cookie stick longer in many cases and there are no quality click hassles like there are with Ebay.

Content rich Niche product site+phpbay=money

While waiting for the rankings to rise, send out 1 or 2 youtube videos and get loads of immediate traffic that way.

Done.
