Site with 1000 uniques a day, making nothing?ebay?

Discussion in 'Commission Junction' started by TelevisionShows, Apr 8, 2008.

    Hey i have a site getting 1000 uniques a day. It has 250 permanent subscribers. Yet it is making nothing with ebay. It is a boxing site.

    I am trying to sell signed boxing gloves, tickets, and other boxing products. Doesn't seem to sell.

    Does anyone know some products that may even be un related but they will definetely sell?

    Cheers

    everyone likes ipods, ipohones, xbox 360s, and ps3s. At least in my experience. What are you using to send people to ebay?

    Can you share your URL?
    If you're making absolutely nothing, then maybe you've got a problem with your links. With that kind of traffic, even if you're not making boxing related sales, you should be dropping enough cookies to get a few non related eBay sales.

    Maybe people that are into boxing aren't smart enough to use the internet? :p

    boxing lessons.... ebooks about boxing or martial arts... anything that has to do with weightloss/muscular development can somehow be related also to boxing... boxers want to be in tip-top shape right?

    i would give zintext a try, all you do is place some javascript on your site and it links relevant keywords to searches on ebay.

    Looks like your links are bad. eBay EKs are wrong. Hovering over them, I see the following:

    EK on the right:
    campid=calzaghe%25252525252525252Bhopkins
    Code (markup):
    EK at the top:
    campid=signed%2Bglove
    Code (markup):
    Those are incorrect campids. Needs to be a 10 digit value. I just posted a thread here about using Live HTTP headers to inspect links here.

    Hope this helps

    Obviously you want to have your product ads as closely related as possible to your content, but if thats nto working I would try some general interest stuff yeah.

    Correct.. that means you're not tracking.. so no $$ or impressions.

    To fix this...
    1. log in to EPN
    2. click 'Campaigns'
    3. Either create a new campaign (I would recommend that) or use the 'default campaign'
    4. Copy the Campaign ID.. it will be a 10 digit number
    5. Open the page with the EditorKit and change the value for track to the Campaign ID we just copied, and add sid with the old campid. sid is for tracking a certain tool.

    So it should look something like this

    <script language="JavaScript" src="http://lapi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?EKServer&ai=wlkdhz%7Dl%7Bdfglp&bdrcolor=669933&cid=0&eksize=4&encode=UTF-8&endcolor=FF0000&endtime=y&fbgcolor=EFEFEF&fntcolor=669933&fs=0&hdrcolor=669933&hdrimage=8&hdrsrch=n&img=y&lnkcolor=669933&logo=10&num=25&numbid=y&paypal=n&popup=n&prvd=9&query=Autographed+Signed+Gloves&r0=4&shipcost=n&sid=signed+gloves&siteid=0&sort=MetaEndSort&sortby=endtime&sortdir=asc&srchdesc=n&tbgcolor=FFFFFF&tlecolor=669933&tlefs=0&tlfcolor=FFFFFF&toolid=10004&track=0000000000sid=signed%2Bgloves&width=570"></script>
    Code (markup):
    Change the 0000000000 to your real campid

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks a lot mate. I would have had no idea and probably would have gone on earning nothing from it.
