Phpbay and EPN

[deliciousness]

Hey guys, I'm working full time and going to school full time as well, so I don't have the time and resources to do any PPC or SEO type of marketing at the moment. I did a search here on the forums and saw that a lot of people were getting banned / kicked from EPN. After doing some reading, I was still not able to see exactly why some people got kicked or just did not get accepted into EPN. If I were to put up a phpbay site and then apply for EPN would the reject me? Does anyone know what factors are involved with the review proccess over at EPN? I'll I was able to come up with through my search was that using PPC and EPN was a no no especially if ebay was used in the add.

Thanks for any advice

No body really knows.

However:

PPC is fine although may not help getting you approved for an account.

This report might give you a better idea of the quality affiliates they are looking for http://www.wickedfire.com/industry-news/53035-must-read-report-about-epn.html

Finally, nothing you haven't heard before: Put together a decent non spammy with no adsense niche blog and submit it.

Thanks for your reply. I'm still a noob, so by blog you mean a blog? or would a nice looking adsense free phpbay store be ok? The niche I am thinking of doing does not have much to write about, so articles for this would be kind of weird...

Thanks for your help!

From what I have heard it is tough to get a new account lately. But, I would apply before I bought PHPBay just to be safe. Things may have changed since I signed up but I just gave them a random niche site built on Wordpress and said I planned on driving traffic with PPC and building more niche related sites.

The part of your post that concerns me, however, is you said you don't have time for PPC or SEO stuff. How do you plan to drive traffic to your site?

Tough time to get in these day. And they ban here and there for only one reason: You account is tied with a banned account. That's BS though, it's just to make a selection (poor quality, poor design, no content, or worse, cookie stuffing). Seems that they are swapping small affiliate to stay with the bigger ones. But who knows really??
Make sure to apply with a good looking, good content site with more content and stuff than auctions. Once in, do whatever you want...

this is sig worthy

Thanks for your reply. I'm still a noob, so by blog you mean a blog?

yes, she means a blog. phpbay is a plugin for wordpress, which is in fact a blog. I'm sure you can come up with something to write about your products. do a review of them, steal from other sites and rewrite, outsource and have someone else write some content for you.
