I had a network of around 150 phpbay sites and my epn account was shut down a couple weeks ago when they went on their little rampage. Each site is on its own domain, and the domains are all keyword rich for the niche products I was selling on them. I emailed ebay asking for a manual review of my account, but they said they aren't changing their mind. I am still getting 5k+ organic hits a day and I want to get as much out of that as I still can.

I was wondering if anyone has some suggestions as to what I can use these domains for now. Almost all of my sites were SEO'd for weird products that I won't find on any other aff network. I was thinking of just switching them over to MFA, but then Ill have to worry about getting my adsense account banned. Any suggestions?
 


You could just sell them to other people marketing EPN ... or set up some kind of JV with someone who has a clean account.

Ebay sent out a huge number of affiliates emails to the tune of "your traffic quality/volume/leads aren't good enough so say bye to your account".

A few have gotten the decision overtuned with a manual review, but not many.

Phil, have you tried applying to EPN through PJN?
 
Yeah, I thought if you went through Pepperjam you'd be fine, although I've not done it myself so I can't be sure. It's got to be worth a go though.
 
I'm awaiting the term from EPN myself, but I don't think it's coming. Ironic, isn't it? Whitehat sites getting banned left and right, but my blackhat sites are ... I guess being praised by EPN for great converting traffic...

Just looked at my stats.. 10625 clicks, 979.21 earnings for 9.22 EPC... I can't be doing too bad haha.
 
1) Try going through pepperjam.
2) Change the sites to promote another program like amazon.
3) Monetize the domains some other way through related affiliate programs or adsense.
4) Sell the domains.

1. Waiting on PJ to call me about my application, its been over a week and nothing.
2. Amazon doesn't carry products for most of my niches.
3. The domains don't have much content. Maybe 1000 words of unique content on each, I was thinking switching over to MFA but will that risk my adsense account?
4. I can't imagine anyone wanting these domains. They're all .com and .net, but for some pretty odd longtail kw's.
 
Try to Leverage that network.

Find some broader, yet related, terms to each site (think terms that you WOULD find products on amazon for, yet are still, in some way, related to your existing sites). Build a new cluster of sites with those related terms, and use your existing network to push some authority/traffic to your new network.
 
How many backlinks do each of the domains have? How old are the names? Is there any original content on the sites?

I might be interested in a few of them if you PM the URL's or you want to post here and share w/ the world.

All sites have about 100-150 backlinks, most are in top 3 results in SERPs, domains are at oldest 3 months, and they all have about 1000 words of original content.
 
you can change the script so that each auction redirects to the URL of your choice. Might pick a niche affiliate offer for each site.... as in:

Steak site - Omaha Steak offer

etc.
