Adding Ebay Auctions to Wordpress
It seems that adding eBay listings to your website is becoming a popular way to monetize websites. Many people are using Build a Niche Store (BANS) to build web stores with the Ebay Partner Network (EPN). Ebay RSS feeds are another option but they are limited and take time to set up.
I’ve been using Wordpress.org blogs to do basically the same thing. I’m targeting organic search traffic so I feel with Wordpress and adding useful content I can rank better in the Search Engines. I also want to have informative sites that will encourage return visits. Most of all I’m trying to see how I can do all this without spending any money on building my sites.
Up till now I have been using Phpbay lite to add eBay listings to my sites. You can read about it here adding ebay listings to wordpress.
I’ve discovered another free plugin to add eBay auctions to your Wordpress blog. It’s called Affomatic and it’s a free plugin for Wordpress. Affomatic offers options that Phpbay lite does not. You can chose countries, sort by relevance and choose a catagory.
I went ahead and set it up on my site Antique-glass.org. Setup was easy and it was up and running in less than 5 minutes.
Here’s two links to the site comparing Affomatic to PhpBay lite.
A Wordpress page with Affomatic: Coronation Depression Glass.
The Same blog with Phpbay lite: Royal Ruby Depression Glass.
Affomatic offers a bit more than Phpbay and I like the two colum layout. I’ll be experimenting with it over the next few months.
Affomatic aslo offers a neat stand alone eBay store that requies no database! I’ll be giving that a try as well. You can check it out here free Ebay store.
