    Hi all,

    Just finished my first ebay niche store. Ive been into the SEO busines for a while and have some pages running but im totally new in this ebay niche. I bought the $5 ebay rss script to do my site.

    Since i had the domain readingformoney.com laying around i figured i should do something with it. Was pretty hard to find a niche for it so i hope this can work. http://www.readingformoney.com

    Would love to hear what i can do better and if there even is a chance for me to make like $10 a day on this? I feel very dedicated to this and maybe i should get phpbay instead, since i know wordpress pretty good? Any big advantages of using phpbay instead?

    Will my site be able to bring in any organic traffic? Does my rss feed count as content at all or i need to write more stuff on first page?


    Thanks all for a great forum!

    BR Johanna

    Good niche. Just promote it and you will start earning lots of money. Remember you will make money on anything they buy as long as they went through your affiliate link. My console site makes me at least that much a day! Just get to promoting. I see everything being purchased and a lot are things that revolve around my niche.

    Nice niche, I'd never have thought of looking for it on eBay.

    I like phpBay because it lets you cloak your affiliate link through a redirect. I haven't tried the Wordpress version yet, but I use the API version on one of my sites: Replica Bell & Ross Watch Gallery

    It took a bit of editing to get it to work in Joomla but the results were well worth it. It's already almost paid for itself through sales.

    Johanna, what script did you use for that ? (I especially like the categories menu)

    yes, google can and does index the ebay items that the rss feed brings in.

    good luck
