Mar 2, 2008 - Who is the better affiliate program? ClickBank or CJ?

silentjimdotcom Says:

Mar 3, 2008 - Both are great. I suggest you mask your affiliate link either way you go.

This may have worked for awhile but you risk getting your account suspended now. Ebay is crap. Shop and Sell somewhere else. Ebay changes their policies everyday. You might spend weeks to make products to sell and then suddenly ebay will shut you down and change their policies again. CRAP

Mar 27, 2008 - There is no need to panic on any of this. There are several great work arounds. I'm curious though where you heard Brian talk about external links in classifieds?

Mar 28, 2008 - I have found a way to use external links in classifieds (it involves some hiding) I will tell you how to do it, just ask - obliquedirect(@)mail(.)org - no charge.

Mar 28, 2008 - I have a video to give you an idea of what it involves, but please do contact me (i have already spoken to silentjim, so I don't think he would mind me linking to it here) I do encourage that you listen to silentjim as he seems to know what he's talking about, anyway heres the link watch?v=dWoz3vNM9po thanks.

Mar 29, 2008 - Brian Burke the Jerk talked about Classified Ads in the ebay forums under "Discussion", then under "Seller Central", then on the post that is titled "Ebay Discontinuing Digital Items". I had asked that question and someone asked him to make an appearance on the forums. Also, you can not add a link in your about me page, but if you are getting away with all of this, good job.

smokeganja1981 Says:

Mar 29, 2008 - Also, they said we can not add a paypal button to our classified ad listings. First they said we could, then Brian said we couldnt. I dont know if i want to take the risk but Im sure you know ways to work around all this stuff.

smokeganja1981 Says:

Mar 29, 2008 - Sorry, about the "about me" pages...they say we can add links but they cant be websites where we are selling anything or promoting other websites where we sell things.

silentjimdotcom Says:

Mar 29, 2008 - The most powerful thing you can do with your "about me" page is to grow your mailing list! I don't sell from my about me page.

silentjimdotcom Says:

Mar 29, 2008 - There will always be creative ways to operate within the rules and benefit. As long as eBay attracts customers there will be ways to grow mailing lists and sell high profit informational goods. Let's wait until they stop creating new conflicting policies and then we'll all jump in full steam ahead again!

silentjimdotcom Says:

Mar 29, 2008 - Thanks for the updates. I can't wait to see how they spell out all these new policies...it's a spaghetti bowl of conflicting rules. A very fun thing to take pokes at for sure!

Apr 1, 2008 - I am new to this. I have set up my 'about me' but how do I grow my list through this medium?

Apr 16, 2008 - Wow!Great video Jim! I was going to stop using eBay altogether but you have given me some great ideas for using eBay Classifieds. Thanks, Colin

Apr 16, 2008 - Once again, Jim, good information. I have been interested in eBay Classified Ads for awhile and you have made some good points. Appreciate your help. Rita :D

bereal900 Says:

Apr 16, 2008 - not so fast. ebay just banned linking to any website including affiliate sites. I know, I had up several form input/lead generating ads that got bumped for linking violations. at least they aren't suspending accounts yet. Take it from me, the only way you can use a classified ad is to build a mailing list and you had better hurry in getting up your campaigns, because when all of the angry former info sellers learn how to do this effectivley the party will be over once again.
