Recently eBay left Commission Junction and created an in-house affiliate program, eBay Partner Network (EPN). Well, to say the least this was not eBay’s finest moment.

Soon after millions of affiliates switched their accounts from CJ to EPN, the eBay discussion forums began to be bombarded with postings of missing commissions, 0 impressions and complaints of missing ACRU’s and overall faulty tracking.

After some denial and general silence from eBay, they finally admitted that a “small percentage” of affiliates were experiencing tracking issues and specifically with ACRU’s and EPN went on to assure everyone that they are working to fix the problem as soon as possible.

Why am I telling you this? Well, first of all I am an active eBay affiliate and dedicated BANS (Build A Niche Store) user and I have several readers who are as well. I am also one of those that fell victim to EPN’s “non-existent” tracking problem, and as you can imagine I was not a happy affiliate.

Second, in general, in Affiliate Marketing it is crucial that the affiliate management program is accurate and tracks correctly, so that commissions that we all word so hard for in our Internet Marketing efforts are credited back to us correctly.

So while eBay really dropped the ball by leaving Commission Junction and creating somewhat of a fiasco with EPN, they have recently made one good decision and that is to join the Pepperjam Affiliate Network.

While most of my BANS stores tracking seemed to be consistent with EPN, two of them were not and so I decided to switch those store’s tracking to Pepperjam. And within two days of the switch I began to see impressions, clicks and commissions.

So, if you are having problems with EPN tracking or if you are not an eBay affiliate and you are looking for an accurate affiliate network that has a variety of merchants, please check out the Pepperjam Network.

I highly recommend Pepperjam, they have proven to me that their tracking works and is trustworthy and they provide me with great piece of mind.

Also, Pepperjam provides excellent support and customer service to their affiliates with response time of less than 24 hours to email support requests.

On top of everything else Pepperjam is now giving all new affiliates a $10 bonus just to sign up.
