In my previous post, I stated that affiliate commissions was bringing me in the most revenue at the end of each month. Well it’s true. Being an eBay Affiliate through CJ is bringing me more revenue than Google Adsense.
Putting eBay banners on your site doesn’t neccessarily mean you are going to have the same success as I am. But there are some techniques that I use that may help you.
Linking to unique interesting auctions is the best technique to send visitors to eBay. When you describe about an interesting auction on eBay, high percentage of visitors will click on the link to check out the auction. If the visitor buys something off eBay within the next 7 seven day, you will get a cut (50% to 75%) out of eBay’s commission from that sale. And also if the visitor is a new eBay sign-up, you will also get $25 to $35 per new active referral.
Here is an example of something I would write about.
Title: Bob Barkers Sold on eBay for $20,000
Description: With the retirement of Bob Barker from the hit game show “The Price is Right”, his microphone was auctioned off on eBay and was sold for $19,919.08. Dave Ryan, from a radio station KDWB, was the lucky bidder for the historic microphone. During Ryan’s radio show, many callers made remarks to him saying how a big dumbass he was. Ryan defended himself, saying that he loves to collect celebrity memorabilia and he will be using it for his own radio show. Click here to check the auction for yourself
Ok, the example was short but you get the idea.
When you have an affiliate link, it can look like this: “http://rover.ebay.com/ rover/1/711-1751-2978-71/1?AID=5463217&PID = xxxxxx&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com %2Fws%2FeBayISAPI.dll%3F ViewItem %26item%3D130121981790%26 category% 3D18839″. Very unattractive right? To increase more clicks and make it more attractive, I usually mask up the affiliate link. This is how I do it:
Using these tricks will definately boost your monthly earnings. The more you write about eBay auctions, the more pages your site will be indexed in the search engines. Keep posting and give it time and you will notice your earnings will start to grow.
