Advice for Squidoo – Ebay Affiliates

Recently (May), Ebay released some policy changes for their affiliates, not allowing them to put links on domains they don’t ‘control’ instead of content.

A Guide to Squidoo Lens Labels

I see remarkably little written across the various blogs, forums and other sites that populate the Squidoo community about lens labels. I can only assume that not very many people use them in their accounts or they are not used very effectively.

Ebay and Pepperjam Partner up – CJ weeps softly

As many of you may know, eBay recently severed their longstanding affiliate relationship with Commission Junction (as in it ended Saturday). Out of this came a few things:
1) Ebay launched its own affiliate network to bring their affiliate program ‘in house’.
2) Many of the ebay affiliates have been complaining ever since then (April 1) that [...]

Is PepperJam part of your Squidoo affiliate plan?
