Hope this helps

I just wanted to post a quick comment and suggestion for people who find this post. I wanted to let people know that one other “sneaky” way of getting approved by EPN and how I was approved years ago by them was to attend an AdTech conference. Now, I know that won’t be convenient for most people, but look them up and see if there is one coming soon to a town near you. Off the top of my head I believe they are in San Francisco (in April), New York and London. San Francisco is the one that I always go to every year. Its free (if you get tickets far enough in advance). But as far as EPN, all I did was go up to their booth, speak to someone there and I got approved on the spot! I can’t say that will work for everyone, plus I did do this a few years ago (maybe things have changed since then). But its worth a shot and AdTech is a great conference to go to anyway. I know though that EPN had the reputation of being hard to get into back then too.

This will work really for any Affiliate Network that you may be trying to get approved with as well. My understanding is that the fact that you are there at the conference, shows you are serious about this business, so they “fast track” your approval. There are a bunch of other advantages to going…but I won’t get into that here. Point is, as far as EPN and getting approved, it’s another way, and I know no one is talking about this method anywhere that I have seen online.

Hope that helps…

I’m just joined WP Mage, and need help getting a website approved with eBay Partner Network. Greg Jacobs on his webinar recommended you, etc.

For Mage sites, Greg says 20 – 30 sites per hosting account. I have a dedicated server with 4 CPMage sites on it – plus I have a couple of shared host accounts as well – and I limit my sites per hosting account to 15 – 20, even on my dedicated server. Not only can a shared hosting account suspend your account for using too many system resources, too many sites with good traffic, plugins and datafeeds making calls on the resources could bog the dedicated server down and cause people to leave because it is so slow. I simply don’t want to take the risk of getting overloaded.

You can control some of the system resources by limiting the plugins you use and making sure your plugins and themes are up-to-date. I’ve also heard that some are using the WP3 Total Cache – but I don’t use that or any other caching plugins.

I have been a Master Mage user for about 6 months now, and was wondering how many addon sites do most people use? I have 3 main hosting accounts now on HostGator, with about 30~ addon domains for each. So far I haven’t run into any problems with traffic crashing the servers, but I’m wondering what is the optimal number of addons? anybody find a good rule on this – I have heard everything from 15 to 40 or more…

Thanks!

I’ll only argue with you on one point….. 65 old? No way!!
