Bit of a background....I came from adult websites. I moved on to doing mainstream stuff about 2 months ago and Im doing clickbank right now. Things are going pretty well with the clickbank products Im promoting. (almost $1500 a month) Well, I want to try my hand at real shipped products now and go through PPC, like I do with clickbank. What I want is to build a bunch of landers with products listed on the page. Ive seen a couple of threads here in the cj section of this forum showing peoples sites, one in particular being the "Show Off your Cj.com Website." thread. (there is a few examples that stick out in my mind, like the plasma tv and cricket bat sites) What my question is, how does one get the products from cj on their site? I doubt you are building all 1000 pages of products manually....for example what do you do when the product is discontinued or changes price etc? Isnt there some automated way to get the updated data from merchants onto your landers? Please point me in the right direction as far as software I can buy and install on my servers. I know enough html, css, php and mysql to edit scripts and modify things to put in my pages and on my server....but Im not a programmer. Again, I came from adult and never had to worry about pulling products off of a merchant before, Im new to this but Ive been working online fulltime for 8 years now. someone in a PM gave me a link to some developer link on cj, but there wasnt anything on there that made any sense to me, I signed up and it gave me a huge string of text to be my developer code or something. Do I really need to be a hardcore hacker programmer to get products from merchants on my landers? Please help with any tutorials, software and links that you can. I want to get started as soon as possible as I already have been accepted to a lot of merchants on cj and dont know where to go from there. anyway thanks for any help you can provide this pathetic loser.
wherever your want to dispaly ad....if you know the image tag,... just instead of giving the image path.. give some page there... like " advertise.html" and make advertise.html and put the ad on this page... it will appear on the page where it was used in image tag... and use it at million pages if you have. and when you want to change the ad... just change the advertise.html and the changed ad will reflect in all the pages (million's if you have with you) Sam
I think you are confused to what Im asking. Im not asking how to put banners on my page. let me exaplain a little better....Im trying to sell products from merchants who use cj.com I want to make a page talking about a specific item, lets say "red apples", I write content on that page describing the "red apples" prodcut and down below I have a table or some divs.... each cell or div lists a "red apples" product by a merchant, showing the price, the description, the title, a sample image and a "more details" button. How do I get this data automatically? I want to do this.... http://www.pricegrabber.com/search_attrib.php/page_id=48 (not exactly what they do, but I KNOW they dont write each products information, its all dynamic taken from the merchant.) I want to list 10-15 products on each page that I make, compairing different merchants that offer the same item or list variants of the item "were you looking for green apples instead of red? click here" etc. So Im not asking how to put up a banner. Im asking, where and how to you get product data dynamically? What programs do you use? Are there any resources or tutorials that teach this? Ive heard the term "data feed" but I dont know what that means. I think "data feed" is what I want, but there is no tutorials or scripts for my server that I can find. Someone please help me.
for that you have to update specific product manually once,... not on all pages with the method i told you. and i got you too... CJ dont give this facility i think Sam
For the Cricket Bats site it uses a script. www.buildanichestore.com Highly recommended! There is a new version just released today with SE friendly URL's. I have quite few stores made and they perform quite well.
It looks as if it works with only ebay? also, does it just build the entire site for you? What if I would like to design my own templates from scratch? thanks for any info on this.
If you know a bit of PHP (or can cut and paste), you can do exactly the same thing using eBay's RSS feed. Really basic guide here. It ain't no colouring book, but it costs $0.
Yes you can automatically create a script that updates the content of your website based on the products the seller provides ... the techonolgy that you will use really depends on what the original advertiser is using ... some advertisers offer an api ... which based on the api you need to create a page so it send and recieves the information based on commands defined in the api some use xml ... which then your script will need to read the xml and create an html page based on that some offer rss feeds ... which is not much different than xml ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rss also you can check http://sourceforge.net/search/?type_of_search=soft&words=rss ... as it has bunch of opensource projects
forum doesnt allow me post links but this is a good site too http://www.w3schools.com/rss/rss_publishing.asp
