When the product I'm trying to promote they already give away great FREE info., should I try to do what you mentioned in your 'Auction Classified Cash' and just provide them with a teaser of that info. to capture their info. using an opt-in? Also, how do you feel about using listing upgrades such as featured plus? And do you think investing $50 (ad + making it a featured listing) and making $104? Would it be okay if I sent an ad when I'm finished to you to get your opinion? Hi Tracey,

I know it doesn't make sense, but the only explanation I can come up with is that people on eBay expect to be getting bargains from regular joe down the street and don't want to be 'sold' to. I've still always had the best results with a plain old sales page, an opt-in and a free report. Hope that helps Tracey Hi Brittany,

I've tried using classified ads on ebay to promote affiliate products and the results were not that great. What I did was: 1. picked a ClickBank product to promote; 2. for the ebay ad I made it a featured listing and copied the actual sales page from the site I was promoting (payed for a domain name and forwarded it to my affilate link); 3. offered the same free info. as the site I was promoting. My results were that I invested about $60 between the domain name, ad, and making the ad a featured listing and I made $104 in sales. Was there something that I should've done differently?

It's also always worth looking through the affiliate networks, sorting the programs by earnings per click, and seeing what programs are giving the highest payout. I'd then always try to promote the products via PPC initially to check they sell. If they do then you can put the time into a proper affiliate site and work on the SEO side of things.

Let's say your main keyword is dogtraining (:)) I would recommend using that on your page at around three or four times. So you already have it once as your blog title and you only need to use it another two or three times in your page. That might be in the post title or it could be just in your text. That way you can use your post title to target other related terms, perhaps, dog obedience, or dog trainers, or dog schools which are still related but different keywords. That way you will get ranked for both terms. Hope that helps Tracey You don’t need to put your blog title in your post pages unless it’s relevant.

I spent just under $2,000 on Adwords to make $10,000 pure profit. I'm not running Adwords now, and only make around $100 or $200 a month on those sites from minor search traffic - but I'm not complaining - I haven't even touched them since December so it's easy money. I'll start the Adwords campaigns back up in October ready for Christmas again though. Or now that I'm learning more about SEO I might just go for free search traffic. The domains will be aged about a year by then so G will love them more ;) I was running an Adwords campaign at the time. I spent just under $2,000 on Adwords to make $10,000 pure profit.
