My best site in 2009 that dropped off to about 40 views per day just took off again today after I refreshed the theme and setup autoposting again on the site a few days ago. I think I will hit 400 page views today on that site versus only about 50 yesterday. I hope it keeps up as it was one of my best performing sites.
I am still working the keywords and found another one that I think will pay off. Pink Dog Crates is a new domain that I just registered. Maybe another week of this and I will do a post about the keyword tool that I am using. I will tell you that my adsense earnings are on the increase since I started using this tool. I am getting some clicks through to eBay as well. I also logged into my amazon account today and found that one of the keyword banner ads I put up on one of the sites I did with this new keyword tool generated a sale of a Kindle yesterday. I can’t wait till that sucker ships and I see my commission on that. I am thinking it will be around $15.00. That will put that domain into profit already.

Rock on! Anxious to hear about the “tool”!
Thanks! I just checked that commission and it was a 10% referral rate instead of 4%. So I ended up with $35.90 from that Kindle purchase that someone made. I guess this is enough to get me more interested in Amazons pogram… I just wish the cookie life was longer than a day.
I also just had my first commissions with Amazon. All 3 were on the same day, only 4%, but still make almost 7 bucks! That too has inspired me to try some keyword domains with Amazon as the focus and EPN as the secondary.
Yeah I am trying to do more with adsense and Amazon. Just as a backup.
Nice design, similar to a site i started developing a few hours ago;

Its my first attempt at using PhpBay Pro (previously i was using the editor kit)
One thing ive noticed though, the more your site looks like an actual shop and not an ePN affiliate site the better your conversions will be.
This means no third party ads such as adsense, amazon. Give it a try and see if it works out for you!
Bucks – Thanks for the tips. I just started putting adsense and amazon in a few sites back as a test. I am trying to pickup some earnings in other areas then just EPN. Kind of a safety net. Maybe I should do seperate sites. Like one EPN then one adsense and then one amazon. Something to think about. I like your site by the way.
