BANS - I'm loving it!

[Lynn Terry]

During a conversation on my blog, several people asked my opinion on BANS, which stands for Build A Niche Store. It is a a new system for creating niche affiliate sites that was getting rave reviews.

I decided to grab a copy and check it out for myself. I LOVE IT!

How is bans different from the case study you did on Michael Browns Auctions Ads ebook? Thanks.

They are two completely different concepts, Rick. BANS is "Build A Niche Store". Auction Ads is a contextual advertising option, similar to Adsense.

eBay continues to make changes and a lot of BANS users are feeling the pain. From what I read on the BANS forum... eBay's terms are very vague and BANS users are being evicted without explanation.

I have 1 BANS site and never updated it after eBay brought the affiliate program in-house. I read all this recently as I decided it was time. After reading the posts, I decided eBay wasn't worth it.

I think BANS neds to diversify and turn in to a niche store building software and not just focus on eBay.

Depending on which version of the affiliate program you are using a lot of people were recently expunged that were using the Pepperjam Ebay affiliate program with no explanation as to why the decision was made.

I'm amazed every month at the number of new ebay signups I get through the BANS sites I have setup. I always just thought everyone and their mom had an ebay account!
