Should I buy BANs?

thx Greg, reading your site now, great resource!

 

Good point... i think i will remove the adsense and leave room for more page titles...

 

Yes, customized keyword pages need to be done manually, but it is very easy to do. Basically, you can create new pages for as many keywords as you want, one keyword string per page. Or you can create new pages using eBay category numbers.

Each page can have its own set of meta keywords and description. As well as content above the auction listing. And there are ways to customize pages further, but that is a bit beyond my abilities to explain.

 

Disagree with that, sorry.

I think it depends on the niche. For example I have a BANS site that makes $300 a month in adsense and $100 in CJ commissions.

Its horses for courses. Sometimes the ebay category chosen doesn't convert very well and if you have a high paying adsense keyword as your main website subject matter then adsense is a real gold mine.

Just test

 

Good point... I might leave them there for a bit and see if i get any money. If not I'll remove them

 

eShopDaddy is NOW officially ez Affiliate Website Builder

ezAffiliateWebsiteBuilder is fully compatible with HostGator.com

Many new upgrades in the future for ezAffiliateWebsiteBuilder

 

But did you test how many more ebay sales (if any) you will get without adsense ? And I think that the right place to place adsense is after the last product so that if there is no product there will be adsense on top.

 

good idea. I am going to give my currents sites probably a week as they are, and check the results then look at changing it up in necessary.

 

I don't use BANS, but for my eBay store fronts, I put a single ad unit (468x60 - blended) at the bottom of the product list as you suggest. I personally like to have this ad unit just to benefit from the 'readers' to the site vs 'buyers'. If some of my store fronts are extremely successful, then I remove it all together, and if my store front is a poor performer over many months, I might add another unit somewhere. Definitely hit and miss when choosing what niche will perform well with just CJ links, but it's important to test and identify those sites.

I just purchased my first BANS. Any advice for a newbie? ;]

THANKS!

Find a really good niche! And make sure you are promoting it...

 

Thanks. I think my niche is pretty good. I don't know if anyone else has it or not, though. Is there a way to see what niches people have?

Thanks!

yea. just google your niche. and you will come up with an excellent list of all your competitors.

I wrote an article about chosing the perfect niche

 

So how do you promote your niche?

 

that sounds like a great niche.

Now you just have to make you way to the top of that search term. and hopefully the traffic will follow.

@ login - you do it via SEO, so good content that is keword optimised, submit articles that are keyword optimised, etc.

 

can anyone offer a quick comparison between bans, phpebay, and eshopdaddy?

 

So you mean that you write an article for each keyword and put it on your eBay shop pages?

 

I have only used BANS so i cant give a comparision, it would be interesting to hear from someone who has used all three.

 

One thing is for sure, if you need thousands of pages, that will be a hell of a job in BANS, but very easy in eshopdaddy.
