ShoeMoney eBay AuctionAds Launch

Earnings: $0.00
Impressions:8452
Clicks: 61
Referrals: 0

I'm still hopeful though =0)

I'm finding it works particularly well on my forum - http://forums.wolfmother.net
Previously with Adsense, I would get a click or two per month. With this, because the ads are VERY relevant, I am getting 3-5 per day. Which surely at some point will start converting =0)

 

Just a bit of encouragement for the eBay aff newbies...

I am not an AuctionAds user, but I use the eBay
program on various sites. One day I woke up to
find a $450 commission in my account. After checking
the auction ID, I discovered someone bought a Mercedes
from eBay Motors. I do not target eBay Motors or
anything remotely related.

Just remember that although a visitor may click through
on a Backstreet Boys CD, he may later use the cookie
to buy a jet. (I don't push Backstreet Boys CDs--just
an example!)

Good luck everyone,

Ty

 

Well this is good news, because I've actually been targeting jets as my keyword

 

just signed up, great for high traffic niche forums i am guessing. applied to my forums now.

EDIT: within the first 3 mins, my users were already clicking the ads, lets just hope they buy now.

 

I dont get it.. How do I make multiple ad categories?
I'll be using it on WoWIsland which is about as targeted as it gets to World of Warcraft

Now I just put World of Warcraft and have almost 3k results.. But I upload my code and there are no ads to be seen?

It shows up in the source, but not on the page?
HELP!

 

I've been running Auction Ads for a few days and I like the setup. Here are my thoughts though.

1. The whole ; and , between keywords was a bit confusing at first. But I think I got it down now. Does it really matter?
2. Did I miss any info on cookies? Does the user get a cookie that lasts for a month? That way if they shop on eBay tomorrow I still get credit?
3. I'd love to see more layout options. I use the 468x60 size as it fits best, but I'd love larger images without much, if any, more space taken up.

Thanks for a great program. I can't wait for my 'snowball' to come in.

 

Try remove the quotes from around your keywords.

So use
auctionads_ad_kw = "world of warcraft"; NOT auctionads_ad_kw = ""world of warcraft"";

Or better yet auctionads_ad_kw = "warcraft";

 

I have joined yesterday, almost 1% CTR for a 468x60 header banner in a music site. Over 10 clicks, 0 revenue of course. I will wait for a few weeks to see how it's goin.

 

3.15% CTR on 728x90 banners.
Have one on top of the page and on the bottom.

Had quite a few clicks.. but can anyone here (with experience) tell me what CPC I can expect, and how long it'll take?

 

Hey shoe

I am in for a few different sites..

wondering what your thoughts are on how it would do here

Thanks man more good stuff!

 

Playing with these keywords is fun. I just saw an auction ad on one of my pages for a private clinic with an asking price of over $500,000. I hope one of my visitors wins that auction.

 

Sounds great =P

So what happens when people bid on things for fun but don't end up paying - what happens with the comission then? Are we in any way held liable?

Edit:
3,44% CTR.. WOW! 110 clicks in a few hours.. $0.00

I'm debating how much longer I should let this run :/ I'll give it another few days.. if I don't see any money then its just not worth it.

 

Many ebay auctions are set to end Sunday evening. So a visitor to your site might bid early in the week, which generates a click, but not win the auction for several days. Then add a day or two for the report to filter though ebay and cj and you can easily have a 6-8 day lag between click and commission.

 

Thanks for the help!
I'll let it run till Monday then.. 6 days. At about 150-200 clicks a day I should hopefully see some good revenue by then :!

 

Still no money for me yet, I've had near 10,000 impressions and 60 clicks.

 

Earnings: $1.12

Impressions:57329

i had a sky scrapper at left bottom of site for 2 days which generated 97 clicks then i replaced banner with some other program and now after 5 or 6 days i got 1.12$ it might increase

 

Earnings: $0.00

Impressions:17461

This is depressing.
