You are are very clever guy mr. well thats a very good idea, we can even do it, but isnt that much for $.008 for each guests if you ve only adsense in ur page and what if 10’s of guests dont click the adsense? 0.8 is lost.

Deppnote : 0.004£=0.008$ isnt it ?

You can look up the top 50 sites across all engines for your main keywords Jay, if there are any social sites there with user generated comments then you have the potential to get a very good and relative backlink by participating.

I think you can link out only if it’s to extra infomation that is relevant.

Well Scott, I guess I am just unlucky. I did almost the same thing, except that the product is not web-based like yours, e.g. domains and websites. eBay retracted my listing a couple of times because of external linking. Perhaps, I should use images to link out instead of anchor text.

Some great tips! Especially the one about generating a toplist. I’ve seen those all over the web, but never thought of them as a traffic generation tool.

Ebay do not allow external links however I have sold lot’s of websites,products & domains on ebay all of which have been linked out externally which is often natural, perhaps it’s depends what is on the other side Keith? I linked to an information page with pictures, info & adsense, maybe I have just been lucky, I can only speak from experience, sometimes I wish ebay spent more time policing the real crimes that go on there.

This raised an interesting question. I have previously posted items on eBay to sell, and on the item description I placed external links to my site, which (similar to your case) contains more information.

However, eBay removed the entire listing and claimed that such action is not allowed in eBay, i.e. members are not allowed to place links on to eBay items. It happened a couple of times when I listed some my of items.

So, I wondered why is it that you have not been detected? I doubt eBay has changed its policy because the last time I did that was 2 months ago.
