This sounds great!

Here are some Frequently Asked Questions I got from the site:

Can I run Auction Ads along with Google Adsense?

Yes, Auction Ads is not a contextually based ad product and is compatible with all other ad systems.

How do I earn money with Auction Ads?

When your site’s visitors click on an Auction Ad listing and take an action on eBay you earn cash. Affiliates are paid the 1st of every month for the revenue generated the previous month. No waiting 15-30 days!

What is the advantage over CJ/eBay direct affiliation?

Easy implementation and the leverage of AuctionAds’ creative delivery of eBay’s auctions and our ability to achieve the higher performance incentive tiers with the aggregate volume of traffic to make more money than they could with their own affiliate relationship.

One disadvantage is you need to manually enter keywords or tags in order to display the right auctions ads. This is good for niche site but not for sites with lots of dynamic pages just like my article directory wherein you cannot choose the keyword for each pages(that’s over 60k). I hope they can improve it soon so that it can automatically detects keywords and display ads relevant to these keywords.

If you have spent any time on the Internet, you have probably received emails and viewed ads online stating that you can earn hundreds of dollars an hour taking online paid surveys. As nice as that sounds, it simply isn’t true. These are mostly scams run by savvy webmasters looking to sell there “survey databases and link list” to eager users. Well than is it all a lie? Not really, it is just that paid surveys are falsely being promoted as a way to make exaggerated amounts of money. The fact is that there are several legitimate online market research firms that offer paid online surveys, and they never charge any fees. That is the key, you need to sign up with legitimate companies like GlobalTestMarket and TNS MySurvey, that have been years of experience in posting online survey panels. The thing you must understand is that taking paid surveys online will not earn you a fortune, but it can earn you a little extra spending cash and chance to test new products. So, if you are the type of person that likes to share your ideas and thoughts, paid surveys may be a positive way to spend some of your time on the Internet.

Blogging can be important to your business. It is difficult enough getting traffic to your website without ignoring one of the best ways to do it. Search engines love blogs because they present ever changing content.

Website content is essential to interest visitors and keep them on your site, and too many sites keep the same old content week after week and month after month. While search engines like content, they soon notice if your website is remaining static, with nothing fresh coming on-stream. Blogs present ever changing content and so help you gain, and maintain, high listings in search engine indices for your keywords.
