eBay Partner Network Tips from The Source

The eBay Partner Network is the new affiliate manager of eBay. And the eBay Partner Network blog is up and running providing eBay network affiliates with timely information about how to optimize their affiliate sites and drive quality traffic to eBay.

Apparently eBay has determined that a great deal of the traffic which was derived from Commission Junction affiliates prior to the switch to the eBay Partner network was of low quality. To eBay this is an issue because if a buyer is driven to the site from a link or a page totally unrelated to eBay or any product on eBay to which the buyer had no intention or interest in when they clicked an eBay affiliate link. Obviously people who follow links such as those described above will not be engaged or interested in buying anything and simply click back off the site. Read more

Blog Design follow Up...

Last May I wrote an article here about a company by the name of Carolina Custom fences LLC and their Sales Manager Keith Bloemendaal

In the earlier article I described the process we set up for the development of a new site for Carolina Custom Fences, how we inspired keith Bloemendaal to start blogging on Wordpress.com simply to test his desire to keep up with a blogs and to see if he actually enjoyed the process. He Did!

As in any project, along the way we ran into delays and certain set backs. One of which was a big change at Carolina Custom Fences LLC. As it turns out, the changes brought with them large changes in our project and I am glad to say they were all for the best for everyone involved. The project received a new name and a new owner, and our relationship with Keith Bloemendaal became even stronger. Keith bought the website project from his former employer Carolina Custom Fences and started a new company with it - Raleigh Fence Contractors LLC.

All the delays from within Carolina Custom had allowed Keith to really see the power of blogging with his Wordpress.com blog. He had made contacts in the social network that is blogging and had made friends with other construction niche bloggers. So once he had ownership of the new site, Keith was ready to get it up and running as fast as possible.

We worked hard to accomodate Keith because I knew how important this new website would be for his new business. From the date Keith sent us the paperwork stating he owned the site outright to go-live as a working website took us just over 6 days. I am personally very proud of the work we did for Keith and Raleigh Fence Contractors LLC.

The new site had a completely new look and it was designed with a focus on what Keith wanted the site to do... Provide information for prospective fence customers in his niche market.

This is the result of our development work:

And as you can see from this screenshot of Google, Raleigh Fence
is doing well in organic search in a very competitive market. Using the
Keyword phrase "Raleigh Fence Contractor" one finds this one month old
site on the first page of Google in organic search. Phenomenal results
for any site and even though the keyword phrase is related to the site
URL the result is still worthy of praise.

Keith is very happy with his new site and has been singled out by other websites for having a very good clean and interesting small business website blog. We will be posting an article on our iBusinesslogic.com/blog site soon detailing the fantastic results of Keith's social marketing efforts.
