QPC stands for Quality Click Pricing. It just stated for old publishers a few months ago and I have talked to people who are big users of the EPN and they seem to be split. Some people like the new pricing it is more like Pay per click or PPC. Yet others complain because their is a large lack of transparency because they pay you for your quality of traffic, and you have no way of knowing how they calculate this. Here is how EPN now works they do not calculate you click one at a time but do the total from the whole day.

I run a few sites on the ebay networks and I have been slowly building more. I use a plugin called Phpbay which integrates into wordpress and has easily paid for itself. If you want to see how it works look at Portable Camping Shower or my blog eBay Domain Auction Picks. It blends in really well.

So how does it compare to PPC and Google Adsense?

One thing is for sure the ebay ads get more click for my websites. I think a big reason for that is I use it on exact match product domains, and people click more. They payment per click has been a little low for me I am averaging around .10 t o.20 cents a click. This is not great but because of the increased click rate on my domains it is doing better that Adsense would. I that that if you have product domains the Ebay partner network is a great option.

Here are my stats from the day yesterday December 6th,

768 Impressions, 92 Clicks, 0.14 QPC Total Earnings $12.88

I am happy with those stats it is a click through rate of 11.9%. I think with the ebay ads people often click on one, two or even three ads because they may all be items they are looking for.I have also started with the Amazon network and I will see how I do with that network.
