BANS stand for Build A Niche Store. BANS is a store/web development software that enables you to create content based webstores that earns you money through eBay affiliate programs. Actually, it will list eBay products o your website and when someone purchases that product through your website, you will get a percentage of sale.
eBay sells millions of products and so it is possible to pull out only those products which suites your website or are relevant to your content. This provides you with the ability to focus on a niche and get a better conversion ratio and thus make you more and more cash. The idea is to use BANS to create a content based niche store that can be ranked by search engines. The search engines then send you targeted visitors for your niche and when someone will make a purchase, you will get a share of the sale.
It is one of the best business model for making some handsome cash online, but there is one downside to it. The downside is that the BANS version 3.0 costs $97. Well, $97 is not a big deal for many online marketers out there, but it is really that big deal if you have no money.
The same work can now be done by “Affomatic’s eBay Wordpress Plugin” and that too at the very right price of $0 (free is the right price for anything).
Affomatic’s Ebay Wordpress Plugin
Most of the functionalities of BANS is given by this wordpress plugin of Afffomatic with the greatest advantage of being priceless(ya, it is valued at $0, the priceless). Here is what Affomatic Wordpress Plugin can do:
Create ebay listings in your posts based on the keyword you choose.
Input your own affiliate id so you keep 100% of the profit.
Choose the country to show ebay listings from.
Choose the category to narrow down your results or choose “all” categories.
Limit the ebay results shown or show as many as possible.
Change the way the ebay results are ordered.
Installation of this plugin is easy. You just need to upload it to your plugin folder and then activate it from your wordpress control panel. Now go to settings and click on the brand new Affomatic Ebay link. Change the ebay affiliate id with yours. You can also configure options to determine eBay country, eBay category, results to show per page and criteria of sorting the results, but that all is not a must and will work fine even without those configurations.
After installation, you will have to place your listings in your post. In each post where you want to put ebay listings, get into the HTML view of your post and put this text – [AffomaticEbay]Keyword[/AffomaticEbay]. Now, replace Keyword(in red) with your own keyword.
This plugin can be seen in action at BonsaiTraining.com. Now the question is that whether this plugin will rank as well as BANS in search engines? To answer, ya it seems so. The BonsaiTraining website has PageRank 1 in its first ‘Google Page Rank Update’ itself. Whether other such websites will or will not rank well in search engines, is can not be definetely be said. However, Affomatic’s Wordpress Plugin is worth a try when the price is just so right( $0/nada/nothing/priceless).

thanks for checking out the plugin. if you or your readers have any questions let us know by using the “contact us” button on our site, we’ll answer them all
Also, you might be interested in our instant ebay store that makes a stand alone (no wordpress) ebay store from a list of keywords in a few seconds. I won’t link it here but look around on our site, it’s easy to find.
How does affomatic rank? The bonsai training site isn’t a good example because I’ve used that over the years as a “test” site for many things but I do have a handful of sites that use the plugin that make money and do well for me.
Honestly many of the affomatic/ebay sites I have don’t even have any original content and still make money, but it’s “recommended” to add original content. It also works real well if you have successful pages already on a blog and drop the ebay listings into an already successful page.
thanks again for checking out our plugin.
