Getting Starting With EPN - (How to get approved)

Becoming an eBay affiliate, (joining the EPN network) is one of the more attractive options for many online marketers. This is in great part due to the huge range of products you can promote, the availability of software tools to use, and other reasons.

However due to the proliferation of scammers, cookie stuffers, and other 'black hat' types, getting approved has become more difficult in recent years.

Here are some tips to take note of when applying for EPN:

1) You don't need to have one of the most popular websites on the net to be accepted. However, EPN wants to see a site that is at least somewhat established, and doesn't appear to be made just for the reason of showing ebay ads.

Tip: Don't submit a brand new site, or a site that is not yet indexed by search engines.

2) Your site should have content which will attract visitors who want to buy items at ebay. There are some great software programs like phpbay and BANS (Build a Niche Store) you can use to show ebay auctions on your site. However, your site should be able to stand on its own with content ... and without ads.

Tip: Add unique content. Keep ads off the homepage, before and after getting accepted by EPN.

3) Have credible information and contact pages on your website. EPN likes to know exactly who is responsible for your site/s.

Tip: Your site should have an "About Us/Contact" page, a "Privacy" page, and the all the domain whois contact info should be consistant and accurate. If you use 'Domains By Proxy', it might be a good idea to turn it off for a while after subitting to EPN.
