Hi, I am hearing about ebay affiliate program but not sure if the really worth trying. My understanding is if i use ebay feeds to display auction items on site then i bet most of the users visiting site wouldn't be interested in buying auction items and they will leave right away. this doesn't make any sense .. does any one know how ebay affiliate payment structure works? Is it PPC ?
You can be paid per referral (up to $35) and/or paid a percentage of the seller's listing fees on the sale if someone either clicks through to ebay from your site or buys an ebay product from your site. Check out ebay's website for more detailed info.
And you also have eBay affiliate program tailor for different countries. Each country has different commission structure. The eBay affiliate program is called eBay Publisher Network, you can check out their details here: https://www.ebaypartnernetwork.com/PublisherProgramsHome You can use BANS or PhpBay ro build eBay affiliate websites. My recommendation is BANS. If you need more helps in this subject feel free to PM me.
My free TWP Auctions eBay script can add auctions (with your aff link) to Wordpress blog posts. You simply make a new post, paste in the script code at the bottom, and select an appropriate keyword to pull in related auctions.
Is there anyway you can use your script, but make it so that the auctions automatically come up after you've written your blog post so that you don't have to keep copying and pasting the codes in?
Nope. I thought about doing that (ages ago), but I actually prefer to be able to specify the auction keyword on a post by post basis.
It is worth using affiliate program. Affiliate program promotes items by using banners, text links, and other innovative tools, such as the editor's kit. Beside promoting your product as a seller you can earn commissions by sending traffic to your own listings as well as to other seller's listings on every purchase and also on each click that is directed to an eBay site.
