My website LowAuctionSeller.com is has 3 income streams… Adsense, Clickbank, and Ebay affiliate commissions.
It’s never made me rich, but I love the site.
When Commission Junction was eBay’s affiliate partner, this site seemed to spit out commissions daily… even if they were just small ones.
It may be a pure coincidence, but since ebay themselves picked up handing the commissions, my commissions have been almost ZERO. Finally a commission of $1.14 showed up today.
Possibly there’s just a huge time lag between bidding, winning, and collecting fees which result in tuition. Perhaps the money will start coming in steadily again.
Hopefully THAT’s what’s happening.
Have you had the same experience? Any thoughts on the subject?

Mine went down for about a month, maybe month and a half, but they’re back up now on the monthly average. For some reason the past week has been poor, but the rest of the month was good.
