Is the Internet in trouble?

Quietly over the last few weeks the FCC has collectively attempted to take more power over Cable TV, Sattelite TV and now the Internet.

You should be aware that big brother is not just watching anymore…

Will the FCC shut down the internet, or will it just kill it?

Some people are saying that the Internet is under attack and that if action is not taken it could effect the stock market because of how the internet drives the NASDAQ, if they try and take over the Internet it will have a very real and very bad effect on the stock market.

Ok, its only bad if you are a PC, LOL

The new Ebay is it good or bad?

UPdate, 10/13/2009

Well our revenue is down a whopping 3200 percent since the change, we are now completely out of the ebay program, it is just not worth it any more.

Good luck to the rest of you guys, hope you do well, but really I can see it, I do not see it at all.

It is obvious now that the new Ebay program is not working for us, we have now removed most of all our ebay affiliate programming and moved to other networks, this new program is really a bad deal.

Many of you may have noticed that over the last few weeks ebay has really changed in fact they have changed so much that many sellers have alleged to have moved to other sales platforms in favor of a more fair and balanced format.

As with the new ebay click program has alleged to have left many affiliates out in the cold there are a lot of aspects about ebay that is not as desirable as they once were, hopefully in the future ebay would consult with its affiliates before making huge changes.

learning by doing…

If everything were so easy even a cave man could do it, if it were so simple that all you had to do was to push a button then would not everyone be doing it? That is a good question and for the most part it is a question that few people even bother to ask, if you could just buy an ebook and make a million bucks over night would not everyone be a millionaire?

The cold hard truth is that few people ever are able to make the kind of money that they are promised they can make.

Even though right now there must be hundreds of ebooks that promise you can get rich if you just follow these simple instructions.

Just push this button and wham bam, congratulations, your rich, but in reality, that is just not the case.

In the real world, you have to learn how to setup websites, you have to learn how to do the work, you have to learn PHP programming or pay someone to do it for you, you have to learn and that is the trick, gaining knowledge is the one real way to be successful.

Ebay new affiliate program ends profitable relationships?

Is this the end for Ebay affiliate programs that used to be profitable?

Looks like a flat line to me, pronounced dead at 1201 am oct 1 2009

May ebay rest in pieces, as commissioned sales flat line across the board.

do you notice how your commissions are gone now?

Why not tell about it we would love to compare notes, and more so if you happen to know a good alternative to ebay because we have taken down all our ebay related advertising.

In the past our network was profitable however with the new affiliate system it appears we will not profit at all, so we went from a good profitable situation to a zero profitable situation, so we will be pulling all of our Ebay partner advertising over the next 2 weeks.

If you find that you also have been eliminated, and can no longer retain profits then you should seriously consider alternate networks that are not so hands on in the process of pushing the little guys out of business.

Here is a previous screen shot of how we profited before the change and below that will be a screen shot of how it looks now, the difference is obvious and it is obvious why this has been done, personally and my opinion only here is that this will hurt Ebay in the long run, a shame really but no surprise when people who have no training make business decisions.

Before

As you can see in the after picture there is nothing under Earnings, this is what we expected, however we wanted to wait, and if there is a change we will post that change, however we feel like the new changes were designed to eliminate small vendors like our network from being profitable, again that is just our opinion and may not be accurate, but so far it sure looks like a bad thing, much like the mistakes that amazon made recently, followed by a drop in revenue, I expect to see a drop in ebay stock and quarterly profits as well.

So why do they get greedy? no one knows for sure but one thing is clear the people in charge at Ebay are not in the right place with regard to vendors and sellers.
