If anyone is using a BANS store with adwords, I have a quick question. What is the rough price range of the products listed on your site? Do you believe products generally have to have a minimum price for your to start breaking even? And if you don't use Adwords....how do you promote your store? thanks (green will be added)
I had the same questions as you did. For some more insight, read my thread on the same subject here: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=456004 Myself personally, I am experimenting with my free MSN credits now. I don't get that many clicks daily so $50 will last a week. I am also in the process of building backlinks to my store right now.
dont rely on adwords for traffic as thats the expensive route. submit your bans sites to classified ads sites.. advertise a product ur bans site sells ad post link to the page.. use things like craigslist, gumtree and usfreeads.. also any others u can think of submit ur site to social network sites. got onlywire.com and submit there to. also there is the bum marketing method. submit articles to article directories on your niche and include a link to your bans site.. and link exchange with relevant sites to your niche hope that helps
you don't need adwords for bans. create backlinks naturally, blog and ping, it will do the same has adwords, better in the long term.
Bans is a great product and I have made thousands with the ebay aff program. you have to work hard, be smart and try new niches. I also really like phpbay (probably more than bans) .... I have tons of info about bans, ebay aff program and such on my video blog. Check it out if your interested in promoting ebay with bans. Link in sig below.
And you can allways do your own BANS, if you want more power, that's the best solution. For myself i've BANS, i've a modified version of wordpress to work with ebay, and i've my own script to create mashups with ebay, cj, adsense and other content/revenues integration.
how long did it generally take for everyone to make money? I mean, I'm getting clicks (roughly 40 today) .. but nothing showing up in CJ. I imagine I may see something tomorrow when eBay updates...
I made money with my first BANS store within 2 days using PPC. the sales in my niche are anywhere between $10-$100+. I was making about 2x as much as I was spending on adwords. Then my SEO efforts started paying off so I stopped the ppc. i think it is all in you niche. every niche will have a diffenent CTR and ROI. I guess i just got lucky with my first one i suggest researching the niche (keywords, competition, etc...) before buying a domain and investing your time into the site. by the way, the creators of BANS just released v2.0 BANS, and it is sweet. many, many more options that I really wished they had when I first started
When you read this, please laugh to yourself. Can someone explain what "backlinks" and "ping" are? I assume that "blog" is simply having a blog on the topic that is the subject of your niche.
It all depends on the niche and if the traffic is well targeted. If you sell oranges you need visitors that want to buy oranges, not just people searching about oranges.
HI, I am only just starting in this area and I have been looking at BANS but have also come accross Easy Niche Store easynichestore.com/index.php it works with normal websites and wordpress blogs. Has anyone used this or has any veiws on it, Thanks John
They're all the same thing with small differences. If you know how to program php, you can do your own script, it's easy
