With eBay Partner Network earnings of $1,905, November 2010 is my highest earnings month so far. Add $390 in income from Adsense and an estimated ePN holiday bonus of $190.
Early in November I started using the ePN Quality Click Tracking (QCT) script. I discovered that I was sending quite a few bot “clicks” to ePN. I implemented a few changes and immediately noticed a slight increase in my earnings per click.
In other news…
I signed up for VPS hosting and I have started to move all my ePN sites to the VPS host. It took a bit of experimenting, but finally I learned how to move a WordPress site from one host to a different host. My goal is to move 2 sites a day, it takes about 20-30 minutes to move each site. I have moved about 1/3 of my sites so far. The new VPS host did offer to move my sites for me, but I decided to do it myself since this would give me the opportunity to make some other changes and upgrades to each site one-by-one.
I discovered the “OneLung Thin” method for quickly creating “thin” ePN sites. I am experimenting with this now…

What is the “one lung” thin method? Care to share where your reading about this?
Great earnings so far this month!
I’ve finally jumped back on the wagon last month (…rather full-time that is) with ePN since I realized that it is my #1 earner — beating out Share-a-Sale, Amazon, and Adsense combined. One website I have, which finally moved up in SERPs for several keywords is responsible for about 45% of those earnings, but I figure if I can duplicate the same thing across the board with a few other niches, then it will be worthwhile.
Cheers to your success…and an even better November!
Hi. See this: http://www.onelungthin.com/
Also, the OneLung Thin method has been discussed in depth on the phpBay forums: http://www.phpbay.com/forums/
nice numbers!
trying to do same thing in spanish market.
good luck, and happy earning!
If both hosts are running cpanel, you should be able to due an entire account backup and restore on the knew host…instead of doing each one manually.
I am OL thin member too. I also bought K2WW which is great for thin site building since you only need made one change in the plugin and all the posts get populated.
Tony, do you do any backlinking? I know it’s against thin site concept but not sure all of your 72 sites are still keep their rankings in long tail keywords after one month or so.
Hi Jack. I’m not familiar with K2WW, I’ll have to take a look at it.
Regarding backlinking, I have done almost no active backlinking for my sites. This doesn’t mean I have no backlink stratety, though. Most of my sites are non-thin, thick sites with 100 to 1000 posts–I have Auction2Post set to automatically add new posts every hour. Each of my websites has its own Twitter account and I have set up Twitterfeed to create a tweet, including a backlink, for every new post. I am not sure how this works, but I have found that some people are using my tweets as content on their sites, backlinks and all. So, backlinks are popping up all over the internet. Last time I checked Google Webmaster Tools, my most profitable site had 84,784 total incoming links. Wow!
Since the “thin” method doesn’t have posts per se, I don’t think this tweet method would work well for thin sites. This is one reason I am reluctant to totally abandon thick sites and A2P.
