I would like to continue my countdown of my biggest earning bans sites. The last one I mentioned was my guitar site for local listings in the Toronto area. I would like to continue on to my sixth greatest earner.
It appears that my sixth greatest earner is not a website at all rather it is a widget. The eBay affiliate program allows you to build custom widgets to highlight a single or multiple listings on eBay and then of course insert them or embed them on your website. I think it was quite a fluke that this actually worked for me as this widget was listed on one of my needing social networks that was not receiving very much traffic at all. Fortunately I earn $25 from this widget. Not too bad considering.
The next one might seventh greatest earner is actually a website I built on a subdomain. I learned from a fellow bans user that perhaps it is more effective and cheaper to build multiple bans sites on one domain but utilizing many different subdomains. So if you choose a generic name for your main domain you can add different subdomains for your specific niche. Anyway this site was for bass guitars listed only in Canada. I wanted to play around with using only Canadian listings to see if that might be to my benefit. I have earned about $23 from this site. Not too bad for a subdomain site.
My eighth grade is earner has been for my default campaign. That means it is from earnings from people who only clicked on eBay banner ads that I placed on my social networks. That would be a generic eBay banner that would entice people to become members of the day. This is worked fairly well for me as a couple of my social networks on name have a fair bit of traffic. I have earned about $15 from sign-ups through these banners.
The next one is for my video game site. This one is called GTA joy. I thought this would be a fairly clever name for a website devoted to grand theft auto games. Anyway currently this site is doing very very poorly but back when I was doing a lot of classified listings I was getting a fair amount of traffic to it. I have earned $15 from the site.
And that brings me to the end of my list at least of websites that I have earned money from. In total I have 24 different campaigns on the eBay affiliate network. See can see that I have a lot of work to do in order to bump up the other sites to compete with these ones that have actually earn me some money. That is the challenge and as I experiment more I will keep you updated.
