eBay affilate now on my site and making $$

    I have had a wordpress site for a few years now and I have just sold it for $6,000. The site reviewed about 300 similar products.

    The site gets about 400 uniques per day and I'm lucky to make $50 per month with adsense.

    I've never tried the eBay affiliate program, but I see that now under each of my reviews, there is an link to an eBay page that offers a list of these and similar products.

    If this lady is willing to pay me $6,000 for the site, I must be missing the boat, no?

    I see that you can receive up to $50 per quality user:
    If this is the case, then I probably gave up $100 or more per day, right?

    Can anyone enlighten me (I'm feeling a little sick to my stomach as I put a LOT of work into the site....)

    Thanks!

    you get $50 if someone signs up for ebay through your link. I would find it hard to believe that she would be able to get 2 new people to sign up for ebay everyday....half the world is probably already signed up!!! When linking to auctions you get a percentage of the sale...I think its around 4% or 5%.

    I don't think she would be able to make $100 a day from the site, but I suppose anything is possible. I think $6000 is still pretty darn good money to get from a sale.

    And I do think she will be able to make $1000+ just from EPN Affiliate Program.

    you already answered your question.

    She is paying you $6,000 for the site, because its established from years and probably already on TOP for major keywords of 300 products you reviewed. If you could PM me URL of your blog, I can give you tips about monetizing your Blog and can guide you to promote right affiliate program :)

    I agree with you richlowerclassjerk that $6,000 is a lot!

    However, Radz, Please tell me that is $1000 a month you are talking about, not a day, right?

    In a way, I feel awful for missing the boat * but * had I not sold it to her, I would have never known about the whole eBay affiliate avenue.
