Updating The Ebay Affiliate Program Is A Pain
As far as I know, I don’t have the Ebay affiliate program on anything but my BANS sites. But, for some reason, my BANS EPN updates won’t give me a confirmation screen. So, I’m doing it the hard way.
I’m deleting my BANS sites and re-installing them. Yeah, yeah. I know it sounds like waaaay too much work. But seriously? All my income came from two sites despite my having 10 or so. I had very little content, and what was there is a simple copy/paste. So, I’ll have to upload the logos again, re-do the search boxes, and change the color scheme. Irritating, yes. But, not so bad. After all, the color scheme can be done at work since it’s all online. Copy/paste could be too if I put the content into an email first.
Plus, I just deleted- yes, deleted- 4 or 5 of my stores. See that? I can’t even count them, they meant so little to me! As I said, only two of my stores generated cash. Some of them I may rebuild one day, but for the most part they were the broad “niches” of which I spoke earlier. I’d do much better to start from scratch anyway. In the mean time, making the switch, heavy as it is, for the 6 that I have left will be much easier. And, honestly? I may delete a few of those and simply use the content elsewhere.
In fact, I just deleted one. That leaves 5 for updates, and one of those is already installed.
Why am I talking about this? I don’t even know right now. I would normally say that the lesson here is to not bite off more than you can chew, but these were sites that I’d intended to build up over time. If Ebay hadn’t decided to move their affiliate program in house, I may have never touched these sites again. Not even to delete. I guess I’ll just chalk these up to growing pains.
