Just as I am updating all my sites with the new privacy policy I just got an email from eBay this morning.

” We are excited to announce eBay’s new global affiliate platform: the eBay Partner Network.

The new platform will go live on April 1st, 2008 PST, at which point eBay will no longer be running its affiliate program through Commission Junction.  Beginning April 1st, affiliates should register with eBay Partner Network and migrate their links from CJ to the new platform.

While CJ and ValueClick have been valuable partners to eBay throughout the years, we’ve decided to give our affiliate community a customized experience for eBay affiliates.

All the great tools and benefits of working with the eBay program will remain the same – access to the Editor Kit and affiliate API, the flexible destination tool, the great payout structure.  In addition, the eBay partner network will provide several new features:
•       Easy global registration to multiple countries simultaneously
•       New, targeted banners and rich media creatives
•       New landing page optimization and geo-targeting capabilities
•       More detailed reporting capabilities for eBay’s programs

The eBay Partner Network and Commission Junction will run in parallel for one month through this process, so please plan to complete your migration by May 1st, 2008.”

So…. I am going to have to go through and edit all my sites once again come April 1st. So I decided to hold off editing the remainder of my sites until that date so I can do both the Privacy Policy and update the eBay links at the same time.

What if instead of pennies per click from adsense you could get $7 dollar commissions directly into your paypal account? If you notice, I replaced the adsense on this blog with a new little program called 7 Dollar Ad boxes.

The links automatically go to programs that offer 100% commission. The ads are contextual so I don’t have to worry about going and picking out different advertisements for different pages or websites.

I am really excited about this and will let you know how well it does compared to my old adsense earnings. If you want to learn more about 7 Dollar Ad Box, you can click the link at the bottom of the ad box on the right. Or you can click here.

Are you aware that you could be losing sales because of how your affiliate links look?

There are many complicated ways to cloak affiliate links, but I decided to make it easier on myself and everyone else by offering a no cost and easy way to make your own cloaked affiliate links.

I spent the day cleaning and getting the house ready for my mother to arrive tonight. I also got the bedroom ready for the baby.

I wrote and submitted one article, which is enough for today. I am taking it easy this weekend since it is my last chance to relax before the baby is born.

I did some experimenting with my setup for my 3rd niche site. I even posted a few pages on content on it. There is no way I am finishing it this month because I am having the baby on Monday, but I wanted to get the base of it set up so adding more content will be easier.

I am going to be promoting some of the content from the Joe Bucks affiliate program on my new site. I have been really impressed with their commission structure and products.

I actually spent most of the day getting the house ready for the new baby and putting some last minute things together. I plan to have the baby this coming Monday, but things can always change depending on when he wants to be born.

I signed up with an affiliate program called Joe Bucks. It is more targeted towards some of the niches I plan to promote and they pay a huge commission of 50% from the herbal websites that can be promoted. Read more »

I didn’t get a whole lot done today. I wanted to take it easy since it was fathers day and the weekend. I got about 5 more pages done on my second niche website. I should have it finished by Tuesday or Wednesday and ready for article marketing. Read more »
