Again... you don't need to get into ePN specifically to make money w/ auction2post (though it's a great way to do so! lol!) I need to start pitching this as a content generator ala Caffeinated Content - the difference being this plugin pulls in language that is in the sales voice for your audience that is in the buy mode.
Here's a more detailed response to using auction2post along w/ another affiliate network (specifically Amazon) to earn commissions.
First - go grab Amazon Machine Tags
Amazon Machine Tags Plugin for WordPress Learning the World
so say you're doing a site on gps watches (god i love niches!)
So one of your automated searches is going to be for the Garmin Forerunner 305 and it will return these items (you can hone your search down much more considerably in auction2post with categories and negative keywords - this is just a broad search)
garmin forerunner 305, great deals on Electronics, Sporting Goods on eBay!
Now create an automated search and use the a garmin305 template that you created which has the machine tags above in the template.
Now to be compliant with eBay Developer TOS you need to separate your ebay listing from other items... easy enough.
<hr/>
Now use the machine tags w/ the asin below (found on the page) and something like "also available at amazon"
Amazon.com: Garmin Forerunner 305 GPS Receiver With Heart Rate Monitor: Electronics
ASIN: B000CSWCQA
so your template body would look something like this:
Code:
[img[alt="Garmin Forerunner 305 GPS Watch"]]
<h4><a href="[link]">Click here to purchase [title] on eBay!</a></h4>
<p>
[description]
</p>
<h4><a href="[link]">Click here to purchase [title] on eBay!</a></h4>
<hr/>
<h3><strong>Available NEW at AMAZON</strong></h3>
[amtap amazon:asin=B000CSWCQA]
Don't want to make a template for each product, pick the top sellers and plug those in.
Top Selling GPS Watches on AMAZON
[amtap amazon:asin=B000CSWCQA]
[amtap amazon:asin=watch2]
[amtap amazon:asin=watch3]
And to really spell it out... Amazon plugins out there that create posts are creating ONE post/page per product - whereas auction2post is creating a new post with new sales copy for each item posted on eBay.
Check out the simple alt tag above in the template, along w/ an image slug that you can create for every eBay image - you are able to better SEO the auction listing on your website than it appears on eBay.
If you see what I did there it's clear that while the Amazon Machine Tags plugin makes it nice - a2p is certainly not limiting you to only that plugin or Amazon - create images / links for other network products via CJ for example and stick them in your templates. Multiple templates supported and multiple automated searches supported. Check it out!
