Learn About eBay Widgets

Naturally the first thing most people put on their ‘to do’ list when they start creating their eBay affiliate page is signing up for the eBay Partner Network (EPN).

The problem is, if you don’t have anything to show you’ll be rejected. A real live person reviews each application to the EPN. They want to see a website or blog and make a determination that your site will bring in qualified buyers and that you will comply with EPN policy. If you have nothing to show them they’re very likely to reject you.

Having a site up and running before they come by will  assure acceptance if you follow the guidelines below.

• make sure your website of blog is up and running before applying to EPN
• no ‘under construction’ signs – in other words have published posts and no broken links
• have an about me page that talks about the website
• have a privacy policy page
• until you are accepted by EPN don’t fill your site up with ads and widgets from other publishers
• when you purchase your domain name, buy it for more than a year. Spammers are notorious for purchasing domains for only a year. You want to look like you’re going to be around for awhile
• choose a domain name with a .com extension  (spammers then use .info domains)

Getting into the Partner Network isn’t hard. Just remember to publish your site for people to read. If you focus on the human element you’ll be accepted into the network and successful with your new website.
