(Caution - Ebay is currently migrating from the Commission Junction Affiliate program to their own. Putting this technique as
listed below in jeopardy)
Did you know you can make money importing
data feeds for shopping networks to your own website?
With this affiliate data feed technique you can use make money from datafeeds from some of the biggest online websites.
For this datafeed affiliate technique, i'll show you how to use data feeds from the popular Ebay site and displays them on
your own website.
The Ebay data feeds are displayed as affiliate links, which pay you for
each visitor who follows the link and goes on to make a purchase on Ebay.
The amount you’re payed is 50% of the Ebay commission for the item purchased. You also earn from $25 to $35 for each new
user that signs up for eBay through your link.
Displaying Ebay sopping data feeds on your site can lead to a substantial income if you create unique content and start
generating website visitors to your site.
The great thing about making money by driving traffic to Ebay is it uses free tools, like Wordpress, and a free Wordpress data
feed plugin. The only thing you will need to pay for is your own website domain and website hosting to get started.
To give you an idea of what this is all about check out my data feed site over at
MP3 Accessory.
You can see that the datafeeds are automatically displayed on my website and they frequently update as the pages are
refreshed, enabling new auctions to always be shown.
You can select how many auction datafeeds you want to show up on each page and which keywords you want to
display for results.
For this example, I’m displaying the results from Ebay for the keyword, ‘Samsumg P2 Player,’ with a total of ten
listings being displayed.
If you’d like to set up your own affiliate datafeed site and start making money sending traffic to Ebay, here’s how…
1. You will need to purchase your own hosting account and domain. If you don’t have a domain or a hosting account
I recommend you get a
Hostgator shared account to get started. I’ve been using them for many months and have
been quite satisfied.
Hostgator also has free c-panel with easy installation of Wordpress which is an easy platform to use for posting
content and importing your affiliate datafeeds.
2. You’ll want to
sign up with Ebay and join their affiliate program directly, or sign up through Commission Junction.
You will need to have your site before you are accepted to the program.
3. You’ll need to get a free template to use for your new site. you can find a huge variety of Wordpress templates
at the
Wordpress Themes Viewer.
4. You’ll want to get the free
datafeed affiliate plugin at Wired Studios. Then activate it using the instructions
provided in the zip file.
5. You’ll want to create content and imput the Ebay datafeed keywords and amount of listings like this:
Now you can concentrate on adding new pages of content to your site followed by your affiliate data feed code.
After you’ve got several pages of content, you’ll want to refocus your efforts on driving traffic to your pages.
