I’ve been mentioning PHPBay Pro for a bit, so I thought I’d produce a more in depth review. PhpBay Pro functions as a plugin for you Wordpress blogs. (There is another product by the same author key for non-blog .php websites at this same link.) This plugin pulls products from the eBay Category RSS feed & displays them on any blog post or static page you wish. Because the items displayed are based on Ebay’s rss feed, the products displayed are constantly updated based on the keywords and category you choose to display. In this way, your page does not have to be manually updated.
Because the webmaster decides how the plugin will be used and exactly how many listings will be shown, the product doesn’t make your site “all ebay” listings if that’s not what you want. It just makes ebay listings – for all ebay’s site world wide – available to you wherever you wish to deploy them.
If you’re wondering what this looks like in practice, just visit the PHPBay Pro site and click on the “carousel” of web pages and you can see “live” PHPBay Pro sites at work. You’ll soon be able to envision how the product could be working for you on your blog or to power a stand alone site.
The unlimited site license lets you use the script on 1 or 1,000 websites (actually any number you have). Many affiliate marketers find Ebay auctions to be one of the better affiliate programs on the web these days if you want steady sales.
With a simple update to the .htaccess code on your site so that all your ebay listings show as a link from your site. (The code and instructions are with the plug in and it’s easy to understand user manual.)This effectively fills your web page with more of the keywords and details the search engines love. Because these constantly change as Ebay listings change, it “trains” the search engines to come back and see what’s new on your site.
I already said this comes with a complete user manual. In addition, support for this product is offered directly by the product creator. It is fast and very helpful. In addition, there is a strong following of product users who post frequently at the product’s private forum who are likewise friendly and helpful. Reading the archives of the forum alone are educating with regard to affiliate marketing.
The product is reasonably priced at $79 currently. Like any script you may purchase to use online, it requires that you have a hosting account. For most users, I suggest Hostgator for reliable service and tech support. An FTP client like FileZilla (free) and high speed internet access is recommending for installing the plug in. I’ve posted a coupon code for Hostgator below (on the graphic). With your hostgator account, installing word press is just a few clicks!
I highly recommend PHPBay Pro if you want to learn to maximize your Word Press blogs, use wordpress blogs to create affiliate websites (and not first and foremost as “blogs) and want to advance your overall knowledge of affiliate marketing in general.
