If you haven’t read Part 1 where I reviewed the Build A Niche Store (or BANS for short) ebay affiliate program, go ahead and read it. This series reviews two programs I use to make money with the CJ Network and the Ebay Affiliate Program. I use the BANS program for building new stand alone websites or making over existing websites. This new program is one that I implement with several of my blogs. It’s basically a WordPress Plugin. This plugin is called PHPBay.
Maximize Profits From Your Blog With PHPBay
PHPBay is a WP Pluginthat pulls current ebay auctions off of ebay and puts them on your WordPress Blog. This Plugin works just like any other WP Plugin. You download it, upload it to your WP Blog, activate it in the Plugin Menu, choose the keywords you want the Plugin to pull from ebay and then publish the Post or Page.
It only takes a line of code to get this program up and running so you’re blog can start making money. This plugin is customizable. There are several parameters in the line of code that you can change to get PHPBay showing specific ebay product auctions on your individual blog post.
To insert the code into the blog post, all you do is switch from the Visual editing mode to the Code mode and just insert the line of code into the post. You can also modify Sidebar php and other php files if you’d prefer to have ebay auction results in other areas of your blog.
PHPBay’s Performance
PHPBayhas been performing very good on the blogs that I’ve implemented it on. In fact, the targeted ebay auction results are pulling in more than Adsense! This is why both PHPBay and BANS are known as Adsense Killers.
PHPBay also increases the blog post’s SEO capability.
Another excellent feature of PHPBay is that it comes in an API for PHP driven websites. This will be a huge boom for php driven websites, especially if they’re relying on Adsense for income.
PHPBay or BANS - Which One To Choose
I like and use both of these excellent programs. If you have a network of blogs you should use PHPBay so you can monetize your blog with ebay auctions. Many PHPBay users are finding the commissions from ebay auctions pay a lot more than clicks on Adsense.
If you’re starting a new site, I would use the Build A Niche Store program. If you’re a PHP programmer, look into using the PHPBay API version.
Unlike the BANS program where the program automatically installs the Main Category you choose with the option of also including sub-categories, PHPBay needs you to include the code into your blog post or other blog file.
I believe both of these programs should be in your arsenal if you’re serious about making money online using ebay auctions.

I have some bans sites and really like how fast you can crank out websites fast.I know that I did not purchase my BANS from you, but what would I have to do to get my hands on your traffic report?

This sounds pretty good. I’ll be checking more into this one!

This is appealing to me, but my question is, what do I get from BANS, that I could not get by building my own Wordpress site and attaching PHPBay, an SEO plugin and an affiliate cloaking plugin? Is there any traffic driving options built in to BANS sites, or is this on your own to handle? I have had a couple of sites online for over five years, but only in the past couple of months have I tried to make money from them, and now see that making my own affiliate sites may be the way to go. I’m pretty sure I have a few niches I’d like to target with a BANS style store, and know I can make them stand out from others simply because of my experience. Any input/advice would be appreciated. Please post here, or feel free email me directly.

Good stuff here. I just started my own blog at JeffreyNorris.com and I didn’t know about the phpBay (Lite). That should be a little extra something every month.
Thanks for a Good Site

You should do a review of another Adsense killer app - eBars from eBarster! They are ad bars like Adsense but better, containing eBay listings context-sensitive, relevant ads targetted to your website!
