eBay Ads are Pretty Hot

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

    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.

    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.

    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…

    The ads seem pretty random. Do you have control over content?

    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 affiliate program is through CJ.
    The developer program is through eBay.
    This uses both.

    doesnt get that much traffic? sarcasm?

    glad the new ads are performing well.

  12. Peter Davis

    Are they only available through CJ?

  13. Chris

    Are ebay ads localised? Or do you have to geotarget each region yourself?

  14. Nick

    Hey Shoemoney:

    Do you think that they really do perform that much better, or is it just that its new and people are curious?

  15. Nick

    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?

  16. Ron Wilson

    What form of eBay ads are you using? Is it based upon a keyword?

  17. Miha

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

  21. Nana

    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?

    According to Alexa, your little blog is more popular than the government agency which regulates this industry.

    Thought that you might like to know.
