Are you Fucking Kidding Me???
I chatted with Mandy too using the chat box provided by Pepperjam and I got approved. Very nice customer service...
Also, I found out that Pepperjam is using their EPN account to track commission.
The link they are providing gets forwarded to EPN tracking link and then to destination page.
This system is nothing but same kind of system like shoppingads.com...
Unfortunately, people who are facing problem with EPN tracking will face the same problem with Pepperjam.

Well...the link they are providing is getting forwarded to EPN tracking link and then to destination page. For e.g When I created text link for destination page ebay.com, I received following non-encrypted link -
Code:
http://www.pjtra.com/t/2-4**1-7*99-69**?sid=denny&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.comThe above link is getting forwarded to below EPN link and then to destination page ebay.com -
Code:
http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/71*-53*0-192*5-0/1?type=1&campid=53*5*47*3&toolid=10001&customid=77*9-453*57-denny&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.comSo...basically Pepperjam link automatically generate custom id and they will track the commission of my Pepperjam account with custom ID result which they will get from their EPN account.
We are just acting like sub-affiliate of Pepperjam's main account with EPN...

I am so disappointed it's not funny...
Do their cookies at least last 30 days like they have advertised, or is it the same 7 day one that e*p*n has, and only 30 day for new signups?

I got this email shortly after joining the pepperjam network. It pretty much outlaws most ppc and paid traffic....

I wish their cookie can last for 30 days if somebody bid or buy on ebay but that's not the case. Pepperjam has the same rule like EPN...

So it looks pretty easy to get approved by PepperJam. Do you need a website in order to be approved?
Is it allowed to be both a member of EPN and PepperJam?
Also, has anyone tried using PepperJam with BANS?? Is it even possible?

Just spoke with Mandy again and good news!
She said:
"Mandy Foley: yes, if you promote ebay through pepperjam network, everything is tracked
through pepperjam network."
So I take that as them being separate from e*p*n.

Of course it will track through Pepperjam but the commission gets generated into to their EPN account with custom ID attach to that...
I also talked to Mandy and she told me the same thing like you are telling me.
So..believe Mandy or believe Denny
