Psst…Wanna Buy A…
I just found this and love it!
It’s a little piece of javascript code you can put in your blog posts, on your sidebar, within your html pages, anywhere that you have put Google’s Adsense in the past and found they didn’t make you any money!
What’s really cool is that the code (created by the server – all you do is cut and paste) comes in all the same shapes and sizes as Adsense ads – so you won’t need to change the format or layout of any existing pages, just cut and paste and presto!
You’ll have products in your sidebar served up by the most trusted shopping networks online – eBay.
Just like this one I made for my daugher’s girly site…
(sorry everyone when I updated my WordPress version I took out the samples. You’ll have to click through the link to see samples)
…in 250×250 format.
Or the one in my sidebar showing laptop computers (look to the right) in 120×600. (removed due to new design)
So, if you’ve been thinking you wanted to run eBay ads and earn some easy commissions, but you didn’t want to buy the script that creates entire websites around the eBay affiliate program, this is for you!
Sign up free and get your code.
Right now they’re paying 100% of the eBay affiliate commission to the publisher (that’s you) and the money arrives in your PayPal account. This may change (I haven’t heard) after the initial launch, at any rate the payouts are bound to be higher than most people are making on their crappy ol’ Adsense clicks.
The alternative is to sign up with eBay’s affiliate program through Commission Junction, then muddle through the eBay editor kit, then paste that code into your web pages, then wait a month for Commission Junction to pay you (often longer if you’re set to be paid by check via the postal service).
One other good reason to use the snippets set up by AuctionAds – they have the potential to earn you more than you’d make via CJ as their network grows (this has to do with eBay’s sliding scale and performance incentives to publishers).
This takes 5 minutes to create an account, get the code and paste it into your web property. Why not try it and test the results today?
Let me know how you do with this…I’m interested to hear your results!

On a side note (because I’ve just been bombarded by email questions on this just 1/2 hour after this post!) the way I replaced my City Hall-city girl’s income as an eBay affilliate is by using the script I talk about here (you’ll also find links to the sites/stores I’m running with that script). That eBay script was one of my top 2 picks for 2006 and it’s still holding strong in 2007!
BUT if you’re not ready to take that big leap of faith and follow me, try the free eBay affiliate service above. It takes 5 minutes where the store-site script takes longer (to payout, to establish, to modify the template, etc.)
Say Laura,
It certainly pays to be on your list. The content and insights you provide are just more proof that this is the golden age for savvy online marketers.
God Bless You!

TL thanks for your note!
It’s so liberating to be working online at this time. I don’t think I’ve ever been as fired up about my work as I have been this last year (and I’ve been playing this online game for 10 years now!)
There are just so many opportunities for active website owners now as long as they’re ‘active’ in their business and not complacent.
Right now I’m torn where I like talking most about everything that’s new or coming online with Web 2.0…over at the StampedeSecret Web 2.0 blog, or here.
Have a great weekend everyone!

Laura, I just signed up and replaced all my stinking Google adsense ads that were making me a whopping $5 month and hardly worth having. My site is about website templates so I’m using the keyword ‘website’ and the ads are actually showing websites for sale! How easy was that? Wish this code service had been around a year ago.
Thanks. Hot tip.
Not just because my daughter is also coming into prom age, but because I have tired of the boring google ads on my site as well.
I just signed up and will let you know how things go. I’m not too savvy on the computer but if it’s as easy as replacing the code google provides it shouldn’t pose too much of a challenge.

Great Natasha and Lorin, I’m glad you’re on board. I can’t wait to hear your results.
It’s important to add here that neither eBay nor the script providers determine the products that are shown. That’s all up to you and the keywords you specify.
So even if your website is about ebooks, you can still specify something as crazy as ‘Alabama farm’ and the ads will show Alabama farms for sale. (Just like the prom dresses above – I never talk about prom dresses on this site!)
For the best results choose high priced products that your website visitors likely have an interest in. (The higher a product sells for on eBay, the higher your commission.)
Here’s to great results!
