Affiliate Marketing is the holy grail of making money online. Build A Niche Store or BANS, for short, aims to make you a super affiliate marketer of eBay products. eBay is an amazing money making machine on its own. BANS wants to bring the power of eBay to the average internet marketer. The variety of products and the high conversion rates are enough to make everyone pay close attention to the high payout as an eBay affiliate. Now BANS makes it easy to effortlessly create eBay affiliate sites and make some money.
In essence, BANS is a website creating script which also serves as basic content management software. The simple user interface will enable anyone to create great looking websites. But the power of BANS hides in auto-generating beautiful sites wrapped around eBay auctions. But BANS is not the average single page landing pages (aka squeeze pages) that are crowding the internet. BANS delivers quality information by creating content pages alongside eBay affiliate auctions. This combo is creating search engine friendly websites which bring value to the visitor and allows the webmaster to make money with the ebay affiliate program.
Creating a BANS site is straightforward. Use a FTP tool to upload the content to your webhost. Then point your browser to the web address. After that follow on-screen prompt to click and create your BANS website. The BANS software script allows you to easily change colors and customize graphics. This will help your ebay affiliate site to distinguish itself from the rest. After that comes the easy part – drive traffic and let ebay do the heavy lifting. Using BANS money making becomes easy. With an average of 30 unique visitors a day expect to make about a hundred dollars within the first month. After that it will only get better. The included screenshot is of an actual website created in about 15 minutes with BANS.
The user manual is very detailed and thorough. Every step of the upload and install process is described in detail. Screenshots and step by step instructions are simple enough that your grandma can follow. Helpful support from members-only forum is an excellent source of information. Apart from customization questions you can find best practices and tips to get the most out of BANS. Most importantly the community around BANS will help you get the value out of your investment.
The benefit of BANS are quite obvious – it helps you make money. The other not-so-obvious benefits are:
There are a few shortcomings of the BANS product that customers should be aware of.
I will be the first to admit that affiliate marketing is not my forte. But using BANS has been the best decision I made since the launch of this website. I have been using BANS on 2 websites that I recently set up for 3 weeks now. For traffic I am using Yahoo Search Marketing. As of earlier today I have recovered my complete investment in BANS. This also includes the cost of 2 domains and campaign costs on Yahoo Search Marketing. For hosting I have used my current Hostmonsteraccount which gives me unlimited domains. I will go into the setup and implementation process in another post. But I wanted to show you how easy it is to make money with BANS.

Digg.com is now down. In today’s high availability world it is quite rare that a popular website ever goes down. Of course there are the occasional natural disasters which causes temporary geographical blackouts and downtime. Or if an ISP from another country takes over your IP address space you’re your site might go down (like YouTube). The only mainstream website that goes down often is the Apple Store which disappears from view whenever they add new inventory to their product line. Today it seems digg is added to that list. Checkout the screenshot of how digg.com looks during its downtime.

Stories on digg.com by default have at least 1 digg. It happens instantly when someone submits an article, picture or video to the website. But recently a few stories on digg’s upcoming section are coming up with zero diggs. At first I thought this was an isolates incident and I attributed it to a hiccup of digg servers. But looks like I am not the only one who is seeing stories with zero diggs.
