Hi All -

No affiliate links in here...

Has anyone used the BANS (build a niche store) product to put up an eBay affiliate store? (www.buildanichestore.com)

The base product looks like a good buy and I noticed that every site they have in their examples list has PR with some of them being in the PR5 & PR6 class.

I am considering buying it to push out 20-25 sites ina niche market...

If you are a user and provide a review for me... pm your affiliate link and I will use it when I make the buy.

Thanks,

Mark

OK - I will review it myself! LOL

I bought the script for $97.00 (Unlimited domains) earlier this week and loaded it up to go!

Read the review in my sig...

Its a pretty good, fast and easy content system that works somewhat like AuctionAds and capitolizes on the ebay affiliate program through CJ.

Build a niche store review

Thanks

If anyone decides to use the BANS product - shoot me a PM or something... I have made some changes to a few of the php scripts and made a custom template that is search optimized.

Along with the changes - I can tell you what i have found to be the best way to get these pages indexed quickly, along with the methods I am using to get proper title and keyword association.

Hi All -

(No aff links in post)

Hate to beat a dead horse here - but I have used BANS on 7 sites now... I am thoroughly impressed with it! If you are parking domains and not getting much conversion or traffic, it is worth considering.

The lowdown scoop...

The script costs $97.00 for unlimited domains.
Hostgator offers a reseller hosting plan for unlimited domains for $30/month.
You need a CJ account for the eBay aff program.

Installs to your host in less than 30 minutes - uploading takes longer than the config of the script!

You can fully optimize a site for search engines in less than 1 hour!

Results in less than 30 days:

Site 1::

I moved a 2 year old, more or less stale domain, to a BANS site about 3 weeks ago... there are more than 500 indexed pages in the Google index already, 75-100 uniques every day, 2-3 purchases accumulating every day! The revenue per sale is not alot on this particular site - maybe $.50 - $1.00... but well exceeded my expectations in such a short time!

Site 2 ::

Took a highly visible and searched phrase... regged a new name, put the site up less than 30 days ago... not too many in the G-index yet, but it too is seeing an average of 45-60 daily uniques... 3-4 sales per day in CJ (ebay affiliate prog) at a low $$/sale. Again, much more than I could have expected!!

Site 3 ::

For this one, I removed a "WhyPark" domain that had about 10-15 indexed pages, 45 day old registered domain, moved it to a BANS site and hit a very niche market with higher dollar items ($1500 and up per sale) - the site now has 43 indexed pages, gets crawled hourly, and produces about 35-40 unique visits every day. I am seeing more than a 50% click through to ebay... and 2-3 daily sales with the lowest commission being in the $20-$25 range!!

I have G-Adsense on all the sites and each is getting 1-2 clicks a day - I know, not much at this point, but again... better than expected in such a short time!

I have been writing several reviews and search optimization methods about the Build a Niche Store script in the link in my sig...

Not looking for referral clicks here although the reviews are full of the referral link - just thought I would share the info with everyone! If you are looking for a good content strategy for a parked domain, especially those with keyword bait in the url, its worth a go!

Mark,

Good information here!
I will consider buying this script to save my tons of dying parked domains

**meetmydomains** · 08-24-2007, 06:22 AM

Wilson -

We have been converting or adding new domains at the rate of 2-3 day this past week...

They seem to be indexed fairly quickly with a good link or two out there.

Glad to help if needed.

Just shoot a PM...

I have been using BANS for a little while now and I have seen success in a relatively short period of time. I have a power drill site that shows up as the third listing on the first page of google when you type in power drill auctions! I have several more, and I've just been using the traditional social bookmarking methods of traffic generation along with some permalinks and a sitemap.

**RichInCollege** · 11-06-2007, 10:46 AM

Hey guys, just noticed this thread.

I have seen BANS in the past but didn't pay much attention to it.

This thread got me very interested. What exactly does it do?

Do they automatically built a store for you, or do you build your own store and they provide CJ scripts? What sort of domains would this work with? What about hosting?

For example, I have an Avril Lavigne website that gets about 200 uniques per day but very low revenue, do you think this would be useful.

Could I start from scratch? Register a new, niche-descriptive domain, and work from there on?

Thanks for any help.

Thats the way it is designed, most of the good ones have a lot of custom content and it does require some work. The new version 2.0 came out and is a very good improvement with category development. It is very east to use though and if you have a product site that makes very little parked you can't really lose anything putting one of these up.

**azanmi** · 11-06-2007, 11:20 AM

Yeah I have 2.0 and once you get the hang of it, you can literally crank out a few per night. It's all self-populating and with a subject-appropriate RSS and some permalink here and there, you're ready to go!

**RichInCollege** · 11-06-2007, 11:23 AM

Thanks guys! Will buy right now..and start tonight..

**azanmi** · 11-09-2007, 04:04 PM

So I'm pretty stoked! My powerdrilldepot.com site is at number 2 on google when you search for "power drill auction" without the quotes! Also, lithium ion drills are supposed to be one of the hottest Christmas gifts this year! Hopefully it will pay off!

Sorry, just had to share...

Oh and it's only been live for a little more than a month and I've had 1,800 uniques but a piss poor CTR of 0.83%
