I am playing with phpbay to go along with my BANS stores. How many listings do you usually put in your Wordpress post/page? With BANS, it looked OK and natural to have 20, 30, or more listing and then rolling over to another page. But that many listing looks too busy in a blog. At least to me.
Are you using phpBay 3.0 that allows for columns? For columns, I usually have it set to do paging and then do 15 auctions per page. When it is just rows of auction listings, I usually did 25 or so.
I put 5-8 per post only. I also use BayRSS instead of PHPBay - it's cheaper and it does amazon items too (see my sig).
I agree that too many makes a site look busy. I would stick with 10-15 so things don't get too cluttered. Like Jennstall said, if you have the newest phpbay, there is paging which makes it easier on the viewer.
Here we go again. Brent S. is trying to get people buy his BANS stores. How original. Look, I am not against you Brent S. or anything like that, I am just saying that you are looking for suckers to get suckered in to pay you for something that will probably never work for them. Show me how much you really make with your own BANS and then maybe something good will come out of it. Or... remove your signature and then post your messages.... (Ha! Ha!).
Why should he show you anything? The only good to come of it would be for your benefit. Right? Can you please explain the reasons people put links in their signatures? because I don't think you have you ANY idea why people do that.
