It would seem a huge undertaking to start an auoictn site like ebay (unless you streamed ebay into it) Making Money Blogging is a far more reliable and efficient way to make money. You just need to post daily and keep an eye on your niche, to keep backlinks pointing at your content. I recommend making Google Alerts out of your post titles and then following up and commenting those alerts through Google Reader. Google makes it so easy to make money blogging. Pick a title and then search it in Google to see how many listings there are for it. (fewer the better) Then pick the least competitive, most frequently searched keywords you can find in Keyword Tool and apply them to your post. Upon commenting other blogs, leave your backlink in a primary keyword anchor text. This will ensure optimum indexing by the search, leading visitors to your blog who will subscribe to your feed. Then as they say; rinse and repeat over and over []

Same here. All the negativity has me wninerdog. I gather they just dropped a ton of affiliates recently too, most of whom of course say they weren’t doing anything wrong. Not knowing anything about the situation, who is to say why the affiliates were really dropped.But of course I really think it’s how they treat both buyers and sellers that is going to matter in the long run, and it seems that sellers are having a harder time making money through eBay.But I’d still give them a few years before they’re in too deep of trouble. No matter how hard you try, it takes time to ruin a community that big.
