EPN Payed Me $1.73 A Click Yesterday! Quality Click Price Correlation?

I have been working on my sites that have eBay Partner network links from the phpBay plugin showing relevant products. Over the last couple of months my EPC has gone from 14 cents a click up to an average of 22 to 25 cents a click. Until today my highest EPC for a day had been around 47 cents a click.

I checked my stats this evening and yesterday they paid me $1.73 a click! I only had 18 clicks but that was still over 31 bucks for the day. Some days I have had 40-60 clicks which would have been awesome at nearly 2 bucks a click!

I check my report and somebody entered through one of my pages based on coins and went on a rampage buying gold coins and raw and unmounted diamonds, sapphires, and other jewels. As far as I can tell he has spent almost $3800 on 4/24 and still has bids on a lot of other stuff, and the cookie is good for 7 full days. And it seems as if it takes a while for the EPC to ramp back down after a spike like this as well.

I have been following my stats for clicks and comparing them with how many bids and winning bids my sites produce, and my revenue and EPC seems to go up as people bid and buy . This makes sense because bidding increases the final sales price and buying creates the revenue. When my sites are creating revenue for eBay, what they pay me goes up, If I am getting lots of clicks but no bidders or buyers, it drops way below the 14 cents that seems to be my baseline.

As far as type of site, they are Wordpress blogs with unique content written by me. A lot of my focus has been around coins, because I have always been fascinated by them, and they can create some high prices. I use the phpBay plugin to display highly targeted eBay auctions related to each post.

    Update:

    Today my EPN EPC went UP to $1.90 a click, and I got 20 clicks. The first click from my buyer came on 4/24, so that means whatever he buys thru the May 1st will count towards my EPN account, and he is still winning auctions on high dollar stuff in the $300-$800 range, along with "smaller" purchases in the $50-$70 range.

    I know this is not what would be considered the "norm", but in looking at my last 3 months there has been a pattern.

    Feb March and April to date all have about 660 total clicks. But this month I have had 99 bids, with 45 won auctions. Over 45% of people who placed a bid won their auction.

    March I had 103 bids and 26 auctions won. Around 25% of bidders won.

    February had 40 bids and 13 auction wins, about 32% of my bidders won.

    My earnings in February were $79, March $98 and so far in April $177. By the end of the month they could be $300 or more if I'm lucky.

    When eBay was paying for ACRU's and won auctions, everybody was trying to get as much traffic as they could to eBay to try to get them to sign up to get those $25 ACRU's. This type of traffic is not targeted and a good deal of it goes to waste.

    eBay is no different than you or I. If you were paying affiliates to get traffic to your site and they sent you traffic that is not converting, you are going to be upset because you spent money on garbage traffic.

    If people with dormant EPN accounts rethought their process for driving traffic, they could revive their EPN accounts and start earning again.

    My sites consist of blog posts for keywords getting between 1000 and 3000 monthly clicks with hand written unique content about the keyword (that relates to what is being sold on eBay). Below the post are 12 eBay auction related to the keyword, with the junk sorted out. The posts talk up the product, and it is right there to bid on when people are excited about it.

    Could this be the secret to cracking the QPC code? It seems to be working for me. I am going to continue scaling up over time & see what happens.
