I have been running the eBay ads on the right for a bit now and …. I gotta say I am pretty impressed. Its paying about 4x what Adsense or Yahoo Publisher network has ever paid on average for the last 2 weeks. Its really hit and miss daily… I have had some midrange 3 figure days then some days only a few dollars… Pretty awesome for a silly blog that doesnt get that much traffic

According to Alexa, your little blog is more popular than the government agency which regulates this industry.
Thought that you might like to know.

The really cool thing about the ebay affiliate program is that you get to see what people actually purchased after clicking the ad.
It would be interesting to know if people are actually bidding on the auctions featured or on other stuff.
Have you run the reports to analyze this info yet?

Shoe do you think it fluctuates because some people buy stuff one day and not another or due to item prices or both?

How do this ads work? Is this eBay affiliate program through cj.com or what?
I neeeeeed them!!!
August 29, 2006 at 7:29 am
What form of eBay ads are you using? Is it based upon a keyword?
August 29, 2006 at 8:01 am
Hey Shoemoney, do you think that the eBay ads really performing that much higher, or do you think that -that is a result of curious readers who have never seen them before?
August 29, 2006 at 8:02 am
Hey Shoemoney:
Do you think that they really do perform that much better, or is it just that its new and people are curious?
August 29, 2006 at 8:22 am
Are ebay ads localised? Or do you have to geotarget each region yourself?
August 29, 2006 at 8:34 am
Are they only available through CJ?
August 29, 2006 at 8:55 am
doesnt get that much traffic? sarcasm?
glad the new ads are performing well.
August 29, 2006 at 9:58 am
Keep in mind the demo that has alexa installed.
August 29, 2006 at 10:36 am
The affiliate program is through CJ.
The developer program is through eBay.
This uses both.

Think about the traffic this site gets and the type of viewer. He’s targetting SEO and SEm auctions so anyone reading this would be interested.
Smaht.

The ads seem pretty random. Do you have control over content?
August 31, 2006 at 12:50 pm
just use eBay Developer API if you want to customize. these ads are nothing new as the APi allowed all these features already. my site display listings in a similar vertical or horizontal format using the API…

I really wanted to try it, but they only allow US publishers. I never understand this policy, because my sites get mostly traffic from the US.

I’m having trouble finding these kind of eBay ads on Commission Junction. Where are they. Are they the ones that you cannot get directly from CJ, but have to sign up on eBay for?
BTW, I had the same problem as Mike: I’m a U.S. corporation, but my corporate credit card statements are sent overseas. The eBay people suggested I set up an individual account first and then convert it to business — haven’t tried it yet.
