I'm not going to rearrange my site, so they just miss out!

Example: "Automatic Money" with a picture of a semi-naked girl. Although I bet it gets a lot of clicks, I would think something that said "Automatic money maker with adsense tips" would be more specific, and end in more final bids. Just my 2 cents.

The fact that there were outages off and on for weeks was way too frustrating for me. I may try them out again, but I don't like the fact that they couldn't get their act together that quickly after the takeover. I said goodbye to AuctionAds several weeks ago.

In case people are not familiar with the E-Bay affiliate scheme it works like this....E-Bay's main affiliate provider is CJ. My STRONG guess is AA has an account with CJ just like anyone else. They're probably a super user which allows them to have websites underneath them. They do this with all of our help so they can hit E-Bays numbers to reach the top grossing numbers $35/new sign-up and 70% of revenue. AA creates a dummy ID for their users so they can track where the clicks are coming from. This is all being done still under ONE CJ ID assoicated with AA. Basically AA sits back while everyone else does their work for them. Isn't it a beautiful thing! It's such an easy concept, that's why their website is so basic. And another thing, if you sign-up directly with CJ you get to see what items were bought through your program. I don't think AA alows this. I'm not hating, just saying that what AA is doing really is not an ellaborate concept. Just using people to make themselves money. Hey, it's done all the time, right. Let me add one more thing.

All of a sudden Tuesday night I see dollar amounts next to many of my days. What's up with that??? Then I see that a made $50 on Tuesday and when I check back last night the same night only showed $16. Would that not be conidered stealing or something? EXTREMELY FISHY!!!!
