BayRSS Plugin For ePN

May 26th, 2008 · No Comments

I’ve been using the BayRSS plugin from Azlan Kasim for several months now, both here on IMMania.com as well as on several niche affiliate blogs. This is a fantastic WP plugin and has worked for me without a hitch. My approach to using the eBay affiliate program, now called ePN since the migration in-house by eBay, is to rapidly blast-test products from eBay using Adwords and then breakout the winners into WP blogs to leverage longer term free traffic.

Gotta love that free traffic!

So BayRSS is the perfect solution for pulling in nicely formatted eBay listings onto my WP niche blogs. I just enter a small tag that contains the keyword I’m targeting in eBay and it displays eBay auction listings in place just like the example below:

The support Azlan provides for BayRSS is phenomenal and so it’s no suprise that he was right on top off converting BayRSS to work with the new ePN linking format as soon as the information was available from eBay. I have my own software product that’s in pre-release, but it focuses on the rapid blasting phase of the eBay affiliate marketing system and I use it in my own system combined with BayRSS for ePN.
It’s a 2-step process:

Rapidly blast out eBay product niches for testing with Adwords PPC
Develop the winners from above into thicker WP niche blogs using BayRSS for ePN

It really couldn’t be more elegant, which is the hallmark of any effective system within you business. Oh, and you can also display Amazon affiliate links in your WP blog like so:
