Looks like the eBay Publisher Network is again issuing mass bannings for it's affiliates.  This, like their previous BAN happy endeavors are targeting those who claim innocense on a mass scale.  These bans are targeting those who were tied to another account that was previously banned.  But again, users are claiming no affiliation with pass accounts that were banned through CJ, PJN, or on EPN.

Here is the message received by a number of EPN affiliates:

"we found that your account is related to a previous banned account"

There is already a thread started at DP about the mass bannings.  Furthermore there is a thread on the official EPN boards where little to no information is being shared from EPN.  Will checks in with his copy'n paste response that basically helps nobody.  Sad state of affairs, looks like the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.

Another eye opener to make sure all your eggs are not in one basket.  I fell victim to the EPN Bans awhile back and have since then been trying to develop other affiliate income streams.  It's difficult, because I've been using Build A Niche Store to help build sites, obviously targeting eBay.  It's a long process, costly one, but it will be worth it to diversify, because it doesn't look like anyone is safe with EPN.

This will be a very brief post as I'm completely overwhelmed with the task of switching over a bunch of affiliate sites and tweaking PPC campaigns.  Will you forgive me if I agree to do a complete write up of how I will be replacing my $1000 per month EPN revenue?

uBid looks like it will be a stable replacement for EPN visitors.  Time will truly tell but this is where I will be focusing some of my efforts.

PepperJamNetwork is a back door to EPN.  I've been banned from EPN but I'm still able to earn revenue the exact same way through PepperJam.  Again, I'm sure time will tell when they will bring the hammer down on PJ affiliates as well.  I'm not betting the farm it will last, but at least it will give me longer than a 7 day window to jump ship.

Look for a full write up instead of a quick link post in the upcoming days.  For those who received the expired from EPN letter, the sun will rise tomorrow.
