eBay affiliates

[aZooZa]

Anyone making money out of this or know anyone who is?

I took a look at mony-tree.com but then found a lot of differing opinions about it on Google.

Comments appreciated. Thanks.

Not used it, couldnt see any examples on site and looks quite expensive! Have you looked at 'BANS' too? Build A Niche Store – Succeed As An eBay Affiliate

Presume you have tested ebay editor kit widget on your market and it worked ok so you are looking for upgrade? Have your ebay conversions done well?

Think the biggest potential here is the (up to) £11 per new member. Finding a niche where non members hang out and sell the potential. And... yes there are loads of people who are not members.

PS did a BANS site on a few motor sites and the money was good, not massive but steady away.

Have a look at phpBay - its a wordpress plugin for Ebay, costs $79 from memory but there are a few 20% discounts floating about. There are a few threads about it on wickedfire

ps how long does it take to be approved by EPN? I applied about 3 weeks ago and still haven't heard anything yet.

I applied to be an eBay affiliate, they turned me down :-? Not sure why, I thought they would take anyone, no?

Maybe it was the the application form that I messed up or they didn't like my answer, where it says "Primary business model", I didn't really know what any of the 5 options meant, they were:

addnetwork/Sub-affiliates
Paid search
Natural search/Website
Paid placement
Other

I chose "other", and under that it has a text box where it says says:

Business model (if 'Other')

In that box I said I wanted to be an affiliate so I could set up a BANS site, any ideas why they turned me down?

You probably need an existing web site so they can view it and get a feel for whether you can actually produce something that you can display their ads on in a reasonably good way...?

My site - Cheap Cat Toys | Cat Toys Superstore | Discount Cat Products Cat Toys - uses the phpBay wordpress login.


I havent' really done much with the site but it does generate a bit of revenue - and I am sure with the right additional content and a higher value product it could do quite decently.

Stephen, that looks like it does the job pretty well - any idea where the bulk of your traffic is coming from?

Well traffic isnt huge, but I have ranked at times well for phrases like 'cheap cat toys' on google but sadly not at the moment. I think if I added some more content about the items on each category page then it would do siginifcantly better. Sadly cat toys tend to cost pennies rather than pounds so probably not worth me spending huge amounts of time on this site in particular. The iste gets about 30 views per day as it stands but it has converted into some ebay commissions.

STephen.

I looked at their forums, alot of people seem to be complaining about the stat tracking since they dropped cj.
