I have seen and tried many different Affiliate Marketing wordpress themes and none really did anything for me like the Socrates WordPress Theme. The problem with the other themes is that I don’t think the developers of those themes really knew what they were doing or had a good solid foundation on SEO optimization and ad placement.

The Socrates WordPress Theme was created by Joel Comm and Dan Nickerson. Joel has been online in the internet marketing business for over 20 years and has been active in the industry teaching people how to make money online while creating a number of successful online websites.

The IMeye Keyword Tool solves some of the questions and issues we as Internet Marketers face. How can we take the little bit of money we are making now and scale it up 3 fold or more? What profitable products are out there that I can promote or sell to help in my online business?

Many Internet Marketers build e-commerce sites, fumble with SEO, promote CPA offers, promote Clickbank products – but just how can we really do these things so that it can be a day job quitting business? From what Steven says, that’s where IMeye comes in.

The IMeye Keyword Tool is really cool. You use this tool by creating projects. within these projects you will be presented with a number of keyword phrases of which the IMeye filtering mechanism allows you to filter these keyword phrases by keyword length, Adsense Cost, Competing Search Engine Pages, In Title Competition and number of Monthly Searches. With this type of information, you can quickly and easily find keyword phrases that are searched a lot but don’t have a lot of advertisers. With that you can almost but guarantee a sloth of free traffic to your site. Of course, you must have a product that matches these search phrases and is of good quality to where your visitors would want to buy what you are selling or promoting.

The IMeye Keyword Tool is most definitely one of the best tools we have seen that allows you to find keyword phrases that allows you to increase your sells whether you have an Adsense based website, an e-commerce site, CPA offer type site or a Clickbank promotion site.

With millions of goods being offered on the eBay site. They realized that even more money could be had by allowing people to help sell other peoples goods. This is done via an affiliate program. Last year eBay ran their affiliate program through a third party company called Commission Junction. Now the affiliate program is ran by eBay under the name of eBay Partner Network.

Being a part of the eBay affiliate program allows you to promote eBay products of which you will receive a commission on the sell of the product. Promoting eBay can be done in a number of ways a few of which are via Pay Per Click (PPC), Blogging and Social Networks. The beauty of being an eBay affiliate versus selling your own product is that as an affiliate. You don’t have to sell anything, no shipping of goods, no taking orders and no inventory required.

The best way to promote eBay products is to host your own website. Building an eBay store can be challenging for some but once you get the hang of it, it is most rewarding. Start off using a blogging program such as WordPress. This program is very simple and can get you many visitors to your online eBay Store.

There are a huge amount of web hosting companies out there but here are a couple that we use because they offer you unlimited domains for one low price: http://www.bluehost.com, http://www.hostgator.com.

If this is something you would like to do to bring in additional income. You must sign up for the eBay Partner Network Affiliate Program then start promoting via the suggestions listed above.

There are a few good eBay Store Builder programs that can allow you to produce a really nice looking eBay Store. To name a few, look into My eBay Script, Build A Niche Store and phpBay.

Before you decide on a domain name to start promoting eBay, make sure to think of a niche market first. What I mean by niche market is, for example, golf clubs or Apple Laptops, or Used Farm Equipment. You get the picture. This way the search engines such as Google will love your site because it is focused on one thing and they will think that you have value for its search customers.

Do some homework and find out which niche may be worth Building an eBay Storefront for then check eBay to see if there is enough product to promote. Once you get everything up and going, you could see as little as a few hundred dollars a month coming in for practically doing nothing.

From what we are able to gather, this technical issue is a reporting issue only and all data will be available as soon as possible. We seen a notice stating that all services would be up and running by 3/31 at 9pm but that time has come and gone and the problem had not been resolved.

Unfortunately, this is not the first time that eBay has pushed out changes that majorly impacted publishers in a negative way. One would think that with a company this size, testing and QA would be a little better.

We will keep an eye on the progress and post any updates here. Let us know if you experience any additional weirdness.

In brief, here are some descriptions of what’s to come.

Dashboard Updates

The dashboard changes or updates are to give you more access to your ePN information more quickly. You will see a new report, quicker access to the blog, and additional date range and program filters.

Changes to the graphs to plot your trends will have some added features that will allow you to change the date range to Last Month, Last 3 Months or Year to Date and change the program filter. The  settings selected will remain in place so when you go back to your dashboard, you are set.

New Reports on the Dashboard (New)

The new reports which will be on the dashboard will be able to assist you in fine tuning your web traffic. The new Landing Page Report is geared to provide you with a snapshot of your traffic based on landing page types. These landing page types include the Home Page, Search Results, Seller/Store Results, Item Page and Other. Initially, this report will provide you information based on “Last Week” or “Last Month” totals.

Deactivating Campaigns (new)

For some reason, many ePN affiliates wanted the ability to deactivate campaigns but with the old system, deactivated/archived campaigns were almost deactivated. Meaning, that the campaign was de-listed from your active campaigns list but commissions and QCP calculations were still going against it. Now with the new system, eBay obliged with this request so now once the campaign is deactivated, no commissions or anything else will go against that campaign.
To be a smart butt: Why wouldn’t eBay accept this request? If you deactivate a good campaign by mistake, oh well. eBay will get all of the profits from the sell.

Unfortunately when this new feature starts on March 30th, you will no longer be able to archive campaigns. All of your previously archived campaigns will return to an active status of which you can choose to either permanently deactivate these campaigns, or keep them active.

To get the skinny on all of the new features and enhancements coming out, check out the eBay Partner Network Blog.

BANS customers are reporting that up to 95% of their links when clicked are going to a “Page Not Responding” error page on eBay.

Here is a quote from eBay on this recent change:

“For the vast majority of publishers, there will be no need to make any changes to the way you promote eBay or to how the RSS feed is configured. However, if you are using software or tools to further manipulate the RSS feed links (e.g. Build A Niche Store or PHPBay), you may need to check that your links still work properly after the change has been implemented. If you experience any issues, please contact your software or tool provider.”

From what I am able to gather, there appears to be a fix.

In index.php, you need to find this block of code:

if(($siteType == "US") && ($cloak == "1")){
$front->sid = str_replace("%2B", "+", $front->sid);
$link[$counter] = str_replace("http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?", "".URL_PATH."/item/", $link[$counter]);
$link[$counter] = str_replace("&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2F", "", $link[$counter]);
$link[$counter] = str_replace("QQcmdZViewItemQQssPageNameZRSS%3AB%3ASRCH%3AUS%3A101", "", $link[$counter]);
$link[$counter] = str_replace("campid=".CJID."", "", $link[$counter]);
$link[$counter] = str_replace("&customid=".$front->sid."", "", $link[$counter]);
$link[$counter] = str_replace("&toolid=10005", "", $link[$counter]);
}

And you need to replace it with the following:

if(($siteType == "US") && ($cloak == "1")){
$itempos = strpos($link[$counter],"item=");
$cloakeditem = substr($link[$counter],$itempos+5,12);
$cloakedtitle = preg_replace("/[^a-zA-Z0-9\s]/", "", $title[$counter]);
$link[$counter] = URL_PATH.'/item/'.str_replace(" ","-",$cloakedtitle)."_W0QQitemZ".$cloakeditem;
}

This change also needs to be done in the FrontControl.php file which you will find in the cont folder.

You can follow the thread at http://www.nichesitebuilding.com/forum/showthread.php?t=38250 to see what other BANS customers are finding out about this change.

In order to have half a chance of getting large amounts of traffic to your site. You must do as much as possible to get your site ranked high within the different search engines. SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the art of designing your site so that search engines think your site is better than the next.

One key SEO technique is to register your domain name that fits the market you are targeting. When you pick a niche to sell to you should think about what keywords people will type in when they do a search. Those keywords should be in numerous places within the content of your site but the main keyword should be somewhere in your domain name.

Lets say for example your niche is for statues. So you determine from your research that keywords and phrases like, cat statues, dog statues and garden statues are the best keywords to use. Being that there are many different types of statues. You could create a domain name like, azstatues.com, pintsizestatues.com or outdoorstatues.com. You get the picture.

Although many Internet and Affiliate Marketers think that with Google pagerank means everything, it doesn’t. Al lot has changed with Google since the early days. You will find that some sites with a pagerank of 0 will show up on search pages above those with a pagerank of 5. This is because they have designed their site with the right SEO techniques. Having your niche keyword in the domain name sort of signifies that your site is focused and authoritative to that market.
