BANS conversions

    Last week I purchased the BANS script. I'm happy so far, I'll be happier when money starts showing up. I spent a few days reading the book, reviews, blog posts, etc. Shoemoney had a great post about generating traffic to the bans sites.

    My question, to all of you experienced BANS folks is, how long before you start seeing conversions? For the last 3 days, I see the site is receiving around 30 uniques per day. So if 1/3rd of those are clicking through to the ebay page, what percentage should I expect to purchase and is there a normal turn around time? I understand I won't see anything right away, but is a week, 2 weeks a decent turn around time? Is 1/3rd even an accurate estimate?

    Side note, does anyone know how to remove the countdown time from the auction listing/BANS pages? Shoemoney's site doesn't show the time left and I think that is discouraging people from clicking through.

    Thanks in advance!

    Bans HAS complete support forums with tons of info,

    I think you would get awesome and real life answers on there forum too.

    I mean dp is a great place for info , But for code tweaking of there script, I think there support forum would be better :)

    Agreed, BANS forums are the best place to get answers for questions like this. There's a wealth of resources there.

    Shoemoney's article was good, but you can't really take it seriously. I mean, he's paying $500 a day in adwords, who in their right mind has that kind of money? I could barely afford $10/day.

    lol, pretty true. I saw a thread here the other day. An amazing guy is earning $4k per day, but his daily budget for advertising is $2.5k.

    That's the key. It's like my full time job - this company spends $200/day in Adsense and the conversions come out to a minimum of $15,000 and a max of around $150,000.

    that's $15K in a month....many people can put that on their credit cards.

    but really what you need to do is just build up...start at $10/day, make sure you are making a profit, then increase to $20, then $30 a day and within a couple of months if all goes well you can be doing $xxx a day.

    I think it is better not to have time left because than buyers know it is Ebay and may not click through.

    interesting point...on the other hand, they might not take a particular auction seriously if they didn't know that it was ending in X amount of minutes.

    Why they don't click through if they know is eBay? And even if they click because they don't think in eBay, they know when they click. I don't get it but this is expected from a rookie.
