Can I tell you guys about those Ebay links...

[Mike Olbinski]

I know we hated them...but man, the ones in the archives forum are making money every few days...

Here is what they have made since January:

7-Feb-2008 $1.28
3-Feb-2008 $9.36
2-Feb-2008 $6.33
31-Jan-2008 $0.52
30-Jan-2008 $0.00
27-Jan-2008 $1.00
26-Jan-2008 $1.78
17-Jan-2008 $1.28
16-Jan-2008 $3.44
7-Jan-2008 $1.44
6-Jan-2008 $2.88
Page Total $29.32

Not that it's a ton of money, but it's also in our archives section which I guess gets more traffic than I thought...

I wish there was a way to tell you guys about Ebay auctions without using the links, because it's effective.

Can I ask if there were links that were double-underlined, would that make a difference?


ON a side note, if we do the membership stuff soon, maybe we'll put links in for those NOT members, and those that are just have no advertising at all.

Please do that. Then the links can be in neon and I won't care.
How about little wavy underlines, or maybe a mild-colored highlight instead of an underline? Beige, maybe, or pale taupe. ;-)

The links were cool and no way intrusive. Everyone is just a bunch of whiny babies.

In your opinion. The majority of people felt otherwise

And so everyone that doesn't agree is a whiny baby?

Absolutely. Was there a poll I didnt know about?

I actually don't even recall seeing these. I'm ok with turning them back on.

They were VERY short-lived (like, 12 hours overnight, if that). You probably never saw them at all.

I guess those links never did bother me. I cannot even remember seeing them.

They probably weren't up long enough for you to see them

Mike - is there a generic ebay link like with Amazon? I would be happy to go through ASFN when I buy from ebay, but the likelihood of finding the kind of things I usually get from an autolink here is really slim. Since I buy a LOT of stuff there, it would add up. I assume that if you are taken to ebay and while there don't buy the item you were linked to, but instead maybe buy a different item, ASFN still gets credit?

Yes, I think so...I will try to add a link...let's see if this works:

OK, I just bought a quantity of my favorite body lotion ( at half the Amazon price) so if it shows up in your tally, then this works and you need to put up an e-bay link like the Amazon one! If not, back to the drawing board.

It came through! At least, I don't get any auction ID or product info, but I know a sale came through from this forum link, so we're good!

Thanks
