I've just signed up to be an affiliate of both companies. I want to recommend a book to my 9K mailing list. Which pays better, in your experience, Amazon or Ebay? Also, is this format correct for recommending books by Adele Faber: <a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-2073848-5463217?loc=http%3A//search.ebay.com/search/search.dll%3Fsofocus%3Dbs%26sbrftog%3D1%26from%3DR10%26catref%3DC6%26satitle%3Dadele+faber%26sacat%3D267%2526catref%253DC6%26bs%3DSearch%26fsop%3D1%2526fsoo%253D1%26coaction%3Dcompare%26copagenum%3D1%26coentrypage%3Dsearch%26sargn%3D-1%2526saslc%253D2%26sadis%3D200%26fpos%3D21208%26ftrt%3D1%26ftrv%3D1%26saprclo%3D%26saprchi%3D">Click to view these books on ebay!</a Thanks!
I personally have had a better experience with eBay. Although their affiliate team isn't the quickest when responding to problems/concerns from their affiliates.
Guess what?! I got a personal email from an ebay rep from this thread! She used to work for cj.com and was really helpful, anwering all my questions very well! She said they are trying to get permission to be allowed to post in forums, has not happened yet. Cool!
I've taken a big bite of Amazon books because of the API allowing me to show them on my sites. I didn't know ebay had books and I wonder if they have an API like amazon? I would say to maximize your return, offer both links. Some will trust Ebay and some amazon. It's a win win for you.
I've had much more success with eBay. The big money is with new user registrations. At $12 a pop, it can add up. It's also very easy to integrate live eBay auctions with eBay RSS feeds and the editor kit.
