Wordpress is easily one of the most easiest and most powerful CMS's you can use today. Combine PHPBay with Wordpress and you have unlimited possibilities. Here's a few reasons why you should consider using PHPBay for your next niche store.

1. Easily Create Super Targeted Niche Stores, No Longer Worry About Being Accepting into A Large List of Affiliate Programs

When creating a typical affiliate site, you have to deal with a big list of merchants which you need to apply to and sometimes you'll get rejected.

If you get rejected for their affilate program you simply can't promote their products (it sucks, trust me... I've been rejected countless times by merchants). This means lost revenue for products or services that are really lucrative.

Making an EPN site is not like that at all.

Once you are accepted into EPN you can create super targeted niche stores and easily make money selling any of the many products E-bay offers for sale - literally anything and everything.

2. Earn with the Ebay Affiliate Program, PepperJam, Mediaplex, TradeDoubler, or Affilinet

While PHPBay is a popular plugin to use with the Ebay Partner Network, some don't realize that it's also compatible with other affiliate networks as well.

3. Choose What Products to Display with A Simple Keyword

Inserting the code to display relevant auctions is as easy as a simple copy/paste of the code. There is also a button you can use in the editor which will quickly drop the code on your page. All you have to do is enter in the keyword and how many listings you want PHPBay to display. If you want to finely tune it wil other options you can further enter in those options but you don't have to if you don't want to.

4. The Plugin is SEO Friendly

There's no complex coding involved that's going to make the Google spider confused - inserting PHPBay is a simple 1 line copy/paste or a click of the button through the editor.

The auctions displayed on your site will change nearly everyday. Not only will these auctions have keywords which you're probably targeting already, but Google will read the changes to your page as you updating the content.

5. Consider Marketing in Different Countries, PHPBay Supports Over 17 Different Countries

With so many internet marketers competing over the dollars of US consumers, you might want to consider the UK market which is still to some degree largely untapped. There are other countries in Europe like Germany which also do a lot of spending online, and there are plenty of earning possibilities if you can handle making a site that targets foreign language buyers.

6. A Full Array of Options Available to Tailor your Auctions to Your Visitors That Will Make Them Click

Tip: You can also have PHPBay grab items from certain categories. To find the category number click here then click "Show category numbers"

List items by zip/postal code if your site is targeted towards a certain region, or choose to display listings in different languages and currencies depending on what country you choose.

When building niche stores being able to do these kinds of things has become invaluable for me. If I can read the demographics of my site, I can make an easy estimation on the type of products I should be showing my visitors. The more accurate I am with this, then the more sales I'm going to see and the more money I'm going to make!

7. The Members Only Forum - A Wealth of Knowledge

Are you stuck for ideas on what to do with the plugin? Check out the member forum where you can find discussions on how to earn money with PHPBay. Sometimes members post their sites for others to see, which sometimes helps me get ideas for new PHPBay sites. It's insightful and inspiring to see how others are earning with the plugin.

If I have a question I can easily get answers from different perspectives - the forum is literally a mastermind of loyal PHPBayers.

Check out the strong advantages PHPBay Pro offers.

If you're looking for a niche store script to monotize your site with, then consider all of the benefits PHPBay brings to the table. Hooking this script up with your Ebay Partner Network account on a Wordpress blog makes for a very powerful way to make money with your website without annoying the heck out of your visitors.

Let's look at the 5 best benefits this niche store script offers.

1. Flexibility

You can put PHPBay ads where you want them to appear on your blog post, as well as the number of items you want it to display. You can choose to list products based off of keywords, the highest or lowest priced items first, items from different countries, along with countless other options at your disposal. Intertwine PHPBay ads between the content in your posts for the best earnings potential - other scripts won't allow you to do this and are unfortunately very limited with what they can do.

2. Easy to Use

The PHPBay plugin is very easy to use. You install it just like any other Wordpress plugin, with an upload by FTP and one-click activation via your control panel.

Once the plugin is activated a one line code can be placed in your posts when you want the PHPBay ads to appear. The only thing you need to know is what keyword (item) you want PHPBay to display and how many different items you want it to display.

3. Unlimited Products to Promote

There's no doubt about it, the Ebay marketplace is vast. The nice thing about this is that there's an unlimited amount of different products to promote. Create a niche store about lawnmowers, brand clothing, computer parts, sunglasses - pretty much whatever! No longer will you have to hassle with finding quality affiliates, and then worry about whether or not they will accept you into their program or not. Just plug and play with the PHPBay script on each of your websites and you're good to go.

4. High Earnings Potential

The Ebay Partner Network is very generous with the commissions they give their affiliates. Not only do you get a revenue share on the bids your referrals make, but if they sign up for a new account with Ebay and become an active bidder you will receive a whopping $25 for referring that new customer. A large portion of my monthy earnings comes from new accounts, I'd say it's roughly 50/50.

5. For Use with Wordpress: Handsdown The Best Blogging Software On the Internet

Before I even knew about PHPBay I was using Wordpress to manage the content on my websites. The reasons were simple: Google absolutely loved Wordpress blogs! The SEO benefits, pinging capabilities, and the vast amount of plugins I could use to make my site do amazing things were just a couple of the reasons I went with wordpress. Managing my content is super easy, and if I want to change the look of my blog I don't have to pay for an expensive redesign - I just upload a new theme and activate it with the click of a button.

When you make a new website consider the powerful combination Wordpress + PHPBay has and test the earnings you get. Chances are you will be pleasantly suprised on the earnings you get from the traffic you receive.
