Will this help or hurt me, ebay ads on my pages

    So I was inspired today by a post I read on here about someone doing a test with some ebay/cj.com affiliates script stuff.

    So I set out to design my own ebay rss reader and made up a 20 line script that puts ebay auctions in my Wordpress articles, I supply the keywords and I couldn't ask for better ad targeting.

    Here's what I'd like to know, at this point I am only showing 5 auctions per ad block, all text (working out the image issue). It looks to me they are nothing but keywords, afterall, ebay sellers are trying to find the right words to get buyers attention. Will these ads some how help me when it comes to people searching for certain keywords?

    If you are using Javascript to display the ebay links/ads, I doubt they will help. If you're using php or a server side script to display them, then yes, they might help, because they would be relevant keywords and links on your page for your keywords.

    yep, php. Thank goodness I gave up on the javascript version. We'll see sooner or later.

    Yeh, as long as the e-bay links don't make it look like you are keyword stuffing, they should help, IMHO. They'll be adding fresh, keyword relevant links/content to your pages...
