ShoeMoney eBay AuctionAds Launch

I am sure a lot of people have =0)

My figures for April:
Date Impressions Clicks CTR Revenue
Total 68476 730 1.07 $57.35

Forever
Date Impressions Clicks CTR Revenue
Total 116098 1263 1.09 $66.86

 

Well its nearly 10 days into auction ads for me.. But I saw the first earning of 0.61$ today

Thats not bad I guess because the site didn't get me much adsense clicks earlier ..

My stats are

1652 40 2.42 $0.61

 

I got some more $0.xx showing yesterday.

I'm surprised that it's coming from clicks on my blog, traffic isn't exactly high on that.

 

Clicks = The amount of people who within 25 days if they bid on an auction could earn you some money correct?

How many clicks do you have? I have over 7,800 in under a month trying to get 10,000 clicks by the end of the month, would anyone like to share methods they get for clicks? Im also not using a website to promote my affiliate link so im looking for other ideas on how to get more and more people to become clickers.

 

I've had auctionads running for about 2 weeks now and am starting to see the commission come in now, hopefully this'll be the start of the "snowball effect" people talk about!

 

I wanted to hear about others success and/or failures with Auction Ads.

Shoe... not trying to disrespect your product here but I could not get it to work for the site I tested it with (FastestCar.com).

NOW, before you analyze my stats, I targeted high end cars, because they are related to the site, so it is understandable that I did not sell any Lambos. But, I expected that I might get at least a few revisit sales as users are cookied for 7 days or something like that.

Anyway, I tested the ads over a period of 20 Days, the first three days I sent a decent amount of traffic at them:

First 3 Days
Visits - 9547
Clicks - 183
CTR - 1.92%
Commission - $0.00

After I received no commission, I limited the exposure until killing it after 20 days these are the results of the entire test:

Total Test Experiment
Visits - 21958
Clicks - 432
CTR - 1.97% (Not to bad given a right hand skyscraper)
Commission - $0.00

Anyway, just curious if anyone else had better success with this thing. If so I might give it a go on one of my other sites.

 

Your CTR is slightly higher than mine, but i'm getting way more impressions. I've earned around $20 after about 3 weeks..

 

yaffiliate,

At first I thought holding up a sign that says "Will SEO for Beer" would give me more return...

But I have stuck with it, only using the niche pottery site for my ads/impressions, all GH all the way and it is slowly paying off... Was a bit irritated by the "proxy site" comment, but I never hold a grudge. Well, maybe for a little while...

Anyway... Stats thus far this month:

Total 32258 524 1.62 $14.85

I may try integrating some of my larger sites to see if I get good results. No, they are NOT proxy sites...

Did I mention I do not run proxy sites...

Anyway, I would say to give it time.

 

I've been running AA for a couple of months. My grand total stats: imps 410k, clicks 7k, earnings $57.

Not so hot.

The ads look good and all, when they actually serve something relevant. Relevant ads not being cached for low traffic pages doesn't help. I get better results with the ebay editor kit. I can target smaller niches with high priced items and relevant ads are served.

 

Woo Hoo im up to $154 so far with AA and gaining about 500 new clicks a day all from text links, I woke up this morning to find out that the snowball effect is happening. My small website even earns me some money with AA but its the targeting of ebay members themselfs that is earning me mucho grande lol.

 

Can someone tell me the difference between this program and the CJ eBay program? It seems the same, but you can earn more from teh CJ eBay program. Am I missing something?

 

It's the other way round. You'll earn more from the AA program because, due to the volume of sales generated by multiple users, you get the highest commission rate.

 

For me its the other way around. Irrelevant ads are served with AA on low traffic pages. I get better results through CJ because I can target smaller niche items and ads matching my keywords are served.

 

Sound interesting, will sign up and try.

 

Total 126511 1381 1.09 $48.80

 

Total 57507 766 1.33 $41.81

 

I think it's been said before but can we have an option as to whether clicks go to a search results page or the actual item? I've just put them on my forum and one of my members thought it was a bit silly and asked me if it was supposed to do that.

 

Some of my stats... since 4th Mat.

Imp: 117665
Clicks: 527
Revenue: $3.08


Adsense brings in far more revenue than this but I guess its a nice complimentary earner.

 

I'm going to give this a try. As far as I can see, this is a better way of being more targeted than the current keyword based approach. You navigate to the relevant section on eBay, pick up the URL, drop it into the URL converter and create the link unit style ad or even a custom graphic.

 

I get about 70-100 clicks/day on this and I have not seen much revenue at all..

hope things change =)
