  eBay ends paid search traffic commission

Looks like the end is nigh...

eBay is increasing the payout to members of its Affiliate Program effective June 1, 2007, but is disallowing paid-search traffic purchased from Google, Yahoo and MSN for its US members. eBay's Affiliate Program allows third-parties to earn revenue for driving bidders and buyers to eBay listings.

US only from 1st June but will surely come to UK soon enough.

Cheers

Mitchy

I think that eBay are making a big mistake by not allowing affiliates to use paid search traffic. I don't think eBay can run a huge network by them self, but maybe I'm wrong and they have a different plan

It's a very positive step if it stop eBay affiliates bidding on others url's in an effort to drive traffic to eBay.

although with some of the quality I've seen in the past they'll be bidding on loan traffic and sending it to flowers

However other links might suggest it's Ebay direct, once the full database compiled is presentable enough.

  Re: eBay ends paid search traffic commission

Hi All,

From the email I received eBay is only stopping PPC where the link is direct to the
eBay US site - and only on the three sites mentioned (Google, MSN, Yahoo).

People promoting eBay using PPC with their own landing page should'nt be effected.
Will obviously effect quite a lot of people but may help others I guess.

HTH

Cheers

Steve
