How To Make More Money With Ebay�s Affiliate Program.
By Kirsten Hawkins
If you�ve been on the web for a while, the chances are that at some time or other you will have taken part in an affiliate program. They generally work by giving you a URL to send people to their site that contains your affiliate number, and then giving you a small amount for each person who comes in using your link and signs up or buys something.

eBay's affiliate program follows this basic formula, but with a few twists.

It pays a lot. Each user who follows your link to eBay, signs up and then bids on anything within 30 days will earn you $20. Most affiliate programs will only give you something like 10% of the user�s first purchase. What�s more, for each existing eBay user who clicks through from your site and then places a bid or buys something, you�ll get 10c.

You can be your own affiliate. If you just link to your own auctions with your affiliate link number from your own website, then you�re getting money without sending buyers to anyone except yourself. There aren�t many affiliate programs that can say that.

So Where Do I Sign Up?

You can visit eBay�s affiliate program at http://affiliates.ebay.com/. Once you�re there, just click �Join the Program�. You will then be required to sign up for Commission Junction, which is free.

How Can I Get People to Click the Links?

eBay suggest a number of �business models� for their affiliates. Before people can click your affiliate links, they need to be at your website. There are two ways to get them there using a search engine, which eBay refer to as �natural� and �paid� search.
