Hello, Is there a script, like Bans, that scrapes products from CJ merchants (not necessarily ebay)? Would this be more lucrative, or is ebay better?
This thread appears to have the script to scrape CJ merchant product lists - http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=418819
Yes, but it's a type of hosting. You have to pay $69 a month. Any free/cheap script available. But, if anyone can confirm that ebay is the most lucrative cj merchant, then I'll forget scraping cj. Thanks for your replies.
I can't really 'confirm' that eBay is the most lucrative CJ merchant... but it's certainly one of the easiest to work with. With a bit of PHP you can knock out a "niche store" (ahem...) every 5 minutes. Think of a niche, if eBay covers it, then you're set All this eBay/CJ hype is pushing me closer to releasing my own script
I'm playing around with a script on my test url http://yahoo1st.info But, the items' link goes directly to ebay, not to the rover.ebay url. So, I don't think you can get any commission.
You should just buy BANS or make a DIY script - it's actually very easy.. but you'll have to research it yourself You're nearly there already... Don't hold your breathe
Could you point me in the right direction regarding the rover.ebay url? How do you get it? How do you incorporate it into the item link?
If I add my id (&PID=........) to this url, would I get the commission: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...76&ih=015&category=42613&ssPageName=WDVW&rd=1 ? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250155339276&ih=015&category=42613&ssPageName=WDVW&rd=1 Code (markup):
eBay advanced search can automatically put your PID into the links. Just go to eBay advanced search... Paste you CJ PID into the affiliate box (near the bottom of the page somwhere), do a search for whatever your niche is, then copy the url of the RSS feed from the search results page. You then need to parse this feed into your site using an rss parser. --- tonyrocks jazzed up one of my tutorials on how to do it here (I really should get around to rewriting my own tutorial...) the rest is up to you
I think I've already done it! Could you give 30 seconds of your time, and check the item link here: http://yahoo1st.info/porsche Please tell me if the url is correct.
Kerosene, When you do this using advanced search, the results page has your id in the url, but the individual items do not. So how would you get commission on a sale?
The problem is that the script I'm using gets the search results from rest.api.ebay.... and not the search rss url.
Ok, I've done it like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=008&category=50448&aid=10314017&pid=2559627&sspagename=WDVW&viewitem=&item=180149855198&rd=1 Code (markup): http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...agename=WDVW&viewitem=&item=180149855198&rd=1 This goes to the correct item for sale, and also has my aid and pid. Will this work? Will I be credited with the commission?
'Well, there's your problem!' Why not just parse the RSS into your site? It already includes your PID in all the links. I've tried the api but it scares me.
