Stats and updates on our first phpbay ebay site
It’s been just about a month now since we first launched CheepBaseballtickets.com, which is a wordpress site using a plugin called phpbay to integrate ebay listings professionally on your website. It makes affiliating for ebay through their ebay partner network very simple and even novice users can quickly eand easily become an ebay affiliate and have professional looking ebay listings displayed on your site.
Ebay Phpbay Stats
Stats so far are nothing crazy impressive, although this morning I just checked to see how well we were ranking for one of our major keywords and I was welcomed to a nice result, to say the least. Check out this Screenshot of google results 7/15 for cheap baseball tickets broad keyword search in the google. I’m hoping that this gives us a nice boost in organic traffic on the ole stat counte as according to google keyword data (new) there was around 4400 searches per month r. Traffic has barely peaked over 50 unique visitors per day so far, so hopefully this new ranking will help us out.
This months phpbay site earnings.
While we won’t normally share all of our earnings results, this project is different and full disclosure because we believe that even the newest of internet marketing can follow some basic steps and create sites that can drive targeted traffic to ebay listings and give you real insight into realistic earnings potential, in the short term by creating a wordpress phpbay site.
Ebay partner network stats
We’ve been lucky so far and converted one ACRU for a $25 bonus and we had one large ticket purchase with over a third of our commission earned. One cool thing about working with the ebay affiliate network is that you can get someone to click on something as simple as a cheap NY yankee tickets listing but they end up buying a $5000 freezer. You earn a commission on the freezer even if they didn’t happen to click on the freezer link from your page. Cool, huh?
Sure the overall earnings aren’t anything that means we can stop working tomorrow, but we created a nice little income stream that adds to the overall bottom line, it’s paying for itself as well as our cell phone bills this month. If we scale this out and create 10 of these sites, or even 100 of these sites then the earnings potential goes up.
We’ll add more details as we see the results from the new rankings from google and see how long the search results lasts. Knowing google, we will be back down on deeper pages come tomorrow or maybe even later today, but hey… #3 out of 1.5 million results in less than a month isn’t bad and we’ll ride it for what it’s worth and see how long we can maintain those rankings.
