Hi All

The E-Bay affiliate programme is very lucrative.

$25 new registration fee, plus any one winning an auction through your aff. link, they pay up to 60%(?) of their 'cut' of the auction fees.

My exact knowledge of their commission structure is a little bit hazy, but they sure beat 'clicks' from Adsense.

Requirements are: a CJ Account and then sign-up to Ebay affiliate program from CJ.

Benefits: Customisabale RSS feeds for almost any keyword you can come up with.

Mmmm.

Now how could we use that feature, I wonder?

An endless supply of updating content, through ZZ Tuel perhaps?

That's your 'Starter for Ten'.

Let's see what you inventive folks can devise, from here.

Downside Don't add to any site you currently generate good Adsense revenue from, your revenue will disappear, overnight.
(Personal experience)
Google and Ebay are 'mortal enemies'. Display Ebay on good ranking sites and you can expect yourself to be in the Supplementals within 24-48hrs. (Again, Personal Experience, from more than 1 site).

My suggestion for using Ebay.

Where you are not yet ranked in the SERPs, but are using other means to promote your sites, be it SB or SN, or blogs or video, it will provide additional content and colour, as well as a means of monetisation, that is well ahead of Adsense, in terms of EPM.

This may just be a way to monetise new sites, without 'showing our hand' too early in the game. Multiple CJ accounts are not too difficult to achieve. You do need to have 'your ducks lined-up', before trying this, but it is do-able.

Good 'duck-shooting' and let's see some more 'inventive uses' of the Ebay RSS feeds.

Kind regards
