My brother-in-law does well with EPN but doesn't use BANS. He builds them in WP from the ground up.

To make money from EPN you need to be in it for the long haul. BANS isn't the answer Paul, IMHO.

any other recomendations to pull from ebay.

What do you have to do to get a goddam ebay affiliate account. I've been rejected 3 times now, the first example site I used was unsigned.co.uk, can't fathom it out and they don't give a reason??

Grant, maybe you should declare a domain with meaningful eBay keywords in it? I don't think they'd be impressed with that domain.

phpBay or Auction2post are two other alternatives. I have used both and they are both good - phpbay pulls just the listing title,photo and price while a2p pulls the full description which is good for content but obviously runs the risk of duplicate content.

send me a pm if you want and I can point you in the direction of sites which use both so you can see them in action

Yes - its 2009, spammy methods are even harder to do and certainly are not long term sustainable.

Google has not banned BANS sites specifically, it just doesnt like pages and pages of ebay auctions with no content, ie the standard BANS configuration.

First major tip, remove any auctions from the index page. Only add categories when you have also added content that importantly outweighs the number of auction listings on the page. Add some nice content pages, reviews, product information etc.

If anyone would like to see some examples feel free to pm me.

 

[Paullas]

hi mat can you om me some examples if possible

BANS is a good thing to use as long as you do it properly. Mat and I both have good BANS sites running, its all about (as Mat said above) putting more content on your domains than ebay auctions.

most of my sites use the standard BANS software but I'm working on one that links it to wordpress (use wordpress for the content building and SEO and use BANS to pull off products from ebay)

its a long haul, but get it right and they can be good money earners.
