If you are an eBay affiliate and don't know about eBay RSS feeds they are one of the best tools in an affiliate's arsenal.
If you've ever looked at the bottom of your search results on any eBay page you will notice that little orange RSS button. What's great about that button is that if you are like millions of eBay shoppers you can load that feed into your rss reader and keep a constant eye on any search you can imagine. If you see an item you want, you can go place a bid on it.
The good news for eBay affiliates is that you can take those same feeds and display all those products on your web site with your affiliate id embedded in every auction. And it gets even better. Since an rss feed is constantly updating with current content, your web site will be getting new content every time your rss feed updates. And search engines love new content so you get indexed and get traffic.
Take a look at the Discount Computer site I created with eBay rss feeds. It features more than one hundred computer related categories from manufacturers like Dell, Gateway, Apple, IBM Lenovo, Toshiba, Epson and more and every one of my pages updates every few minutes with new items. And as an eBay affiliate you can earn a commission just like I do every time someone wins an item, uses Buy It Now or registers and places a bid.
Now you need to use a special RSS to html converter like CaRP or RSS Include and save your pages as a .php file in order to get this to work so you get actual content on your pages. You can use eBay rss feeds as a Java Script output but I don't recommend it because java script doesn't display actual content.
If you want to get started in the eBay affiliate program or are already an eBay affiliate and aren't using RSS feeds, you should seriously consider checking it out and see what it can do for your affiliate income. Get more info on eBay RSS feeds here.
