eBay affiliate store and adSense good or bad?

    Has anyone done any experimenting with eBay affiliate stores and having adSense as well.

    I'm wondering if my adSense is taking away clicks and potential eBay signups/purchases.

    Anyone have some experience with this?

    I have not, but maybe you could try it for a week with the Adsense ads, and then try it for a week without the Adsense ads, and compare the results. Its all about testing...

    If you're presenting your site as a 'store', I think AdSense will make it look cheap and discourage people from clicking the eBay items. If ever I see an online shop running AdSense, I immediately think 'losers'. :p

    adsense + ebay affiliate is good. Not down the potential click on your ebay affiliate

    I use Bans + CJ products and my sales increased dramatically after eliminating adsense. I was losing sales to the CJ advertiser and other affiliates.

    If you are using the BANS store, don't go for adsense. What are you promoting the ebay items or adsense? You will get less click on ebay items.

    I removed adSense for this month and see what happens, maybe those extra 30-40 clicks a day will convert into a $25 eBay signup here and there.

    i subscribe all what was said. if you are making a bans store, don't use adsense at all! Instead if you want, put some ebay banners/links to signups in the place were you would put the adsense.

    You could be losing a lot of potential revenue by having both on your ebay affiliate site. It is not recommended at all.
