Making money with the Auction2Post Plugin
- Thread starter Mike
- Start date
It's a great plugin. I installed it on one of my sites around the 1st week of December 2009 and by the 3rd week I was already making money. My only problem is with the sitemaps because my site have gotten a little too big and automatically generating the xml is creating lots of problems --- but i guess that's an issue with another plugin.
So I have a planning question. Is it better to run multiple sites with more specific niches or a general site with multiple catagories? Running multiple sites can get expensive with all the domain reg and hosting fees, but I'm wondering if it wouldn't produce better results? What's your thoughts?
time is the more important consideration... i don't have a domain that doesn't earn back reg fees. but that's not a great return, but at the same time it's not losing money. so start building some sites, earning some money, and then take it from there. split test - try one as a general site and another that is a more targeted niche site.
i tend to believe that a more targeted niche site is going to perform better with search results - but there are others much more knowledgeable than me in that regard to answer.

if you run a2p on a single site with many categories you would probably pull way too many auctions per day ( especially for a new site ) for google not to notice you, I think a niche site is always better.
no need to buy a separate hosting plan for each domain, just get one which allows multiple domains
Targeting specific niches would be the normal way to go but you could also target searchers by others ways, for example by location (think small town, not country/state), or say charity auctions only.
Thanks for the help guys! I found a host that allows unlimited domains, etc so I think I'm going to move forward with the niche site and see how that goes. Now I just have to dig around in the couch for some loose change and buy A2P and the themes! 
Great tutorial, Mike. Very close to what I did in the past using a different plugin and it made me money.
If you're doing A2P sites, try this: 40% Profit Increase for Your Existing Sites in 20 Minutes w/ No Costs
This is just a quick little tweak for existing EPN sites to add a decent additional revenue stream and make it easier for customers to purchase, especially customers who are turned off by price. It has worked very well for me on over a dozen EPN sites. It takes like 20 minutes one time to get it working and there's no cost involved. It's 7 pages so give it a quick read and see if it'll work for your site.
Hope you don't mind a piggyback on your post, Mike.

In the global config options panel you can select which country you want to pull auctions for, Germany is one of the available options
This has been covered before, but...short answer: no.
It is an autoblog plugin. sure, why not. sure, again, why the fuck not. :338:
I purchased and installed auction2post a few months back and so far I am very pleased!
I did just a small amount of SEO, getting around 50 uniques a day. earning just under $20 per week with EPN.
Its all automated now, I check the stats daily but that's it... less than 5 minutes per day. Do the math and you can see the possiblities with this.
