Quick Update
Google is updating page rank so all of the A list bloggers are holding their breath. I hope to receive an increase and PR but by all means don’t care one way or another. So far I have noticed one of my sites increased from 0 to 3 and is actually receiving about 100 visitors per day. The site is based on Australian Shepherds and isn’t earning anything at all (despite being monetized by AdSense and an affiliate offer). I need to look at optimizing the site a bit more I guess.
My earnings from the eBay Partner Network for the month are right over $100. Nothing earth shattering, and a significant decrease from my commission junction earnings last month. I am hopeful that the decrease in earnings is due to the transition to EPN and that May will bring a $300+ month.
Here are my EPN Stats for the month:
Total Clicks: 4,328
Total Sales: 25
Total ACRUS (eBay registrations): 1
Total Sites: 12 Mony Tree Sites, 1 Build a Niche Store Site
The nice thing is that I still haven’t done any significant promotion for any of these sites.
My goals for May are to finally start my promotional work for each site. I am going to promote 2 sites at a time starting with the first two I built. I intend on submitting a minimum of 20 articles per site for article marketing and continuing to bookmark them using Bookmarking Demon. I will keep you all updated.
That is all for now.

Jonathan from M-T here (using my personal email/web address for blog commenting now)…
I also think PR is a very irrelevant statistic, I wish they would somehow make it useful, or do away with it altogether. As far as your Australian Shepherd site, 100 visitors a day is really good–have you considered putting some Amazon Product links there, or perhaps an eBay Feed on the high traffic pages? I know if some of my M-T websites got 100 visits a day that site would be very profitable (most likely).
I’m thinking eBay’s getting better with their tracking on EPN, because I’ve had a few ACRUs already, and seem to be getting commissions just as regularly now as I was on CJ–which was not the case when I first made the switch to EPN, which makes me think that eBay fixed their problems quietly (or some of them anyway, hopefully they polish everything up).
Hopefully you get your $300+ goal, that would be very nice. Even so, $100 a month isn’t bad either considering the fact that although you put a lot of work into your sites, that workload should decrease and hopefully the income does nothing but increase. I like to take my earnings online, and compare it to some of my bills–In your case you can say your online endeavors paid for a bill that was up to $100 a month.
And about Bookmarking Demon, I keep hearing of that I’m going to have to check it out it sounds like a valuable tool.
P.S. I’m flattered that You have 12 times as many M-T websites as you do BANS.
