Ebay is one of the most visited sites on the net. When you hear about ebay, you might think that it is just an auction site. Do you know that, with little creativity, you can actually drive traffic to your website via eBay? Sure ebay has certain rules and regulations on external links. However, when done properly, you can utilize this heavy trafficked site to drive in targeted visitors to your websites. Personally I’ve used ebay to drive tons of traffic to my site. Here’s how: 1. Sell your e-report on eBay: E-books continue to be one of the hottest products selling at eBay. People love and want infoproducts, especially those that:


Make them feel better;
Make them more money;
Solve their problems;


As a site owner, you are already quite knowledge in your niche. Create a short report related to your niche, then sells it cheaply on eBay. In your e-report DO NOT forget to drop in the URL of your website. Invite the reader to find out more information on the relevant topic by clicking the link to your website.

Another way to make your e-report goes viral is by offering resale rights of the e-reports that you are selling. When a customer buys your e-report he can resells it later. If you look around eBay you can see that lots of sellers are selling the same ebooks which they have obtained the resale rights from the author. Now imagine each of these ebooks contain the links back to your website, don’t you agree it is a good viral strategy?

Here are some tips to produce quality reports that people want to buy:


What are the common problems of the people in your niche? Look around the forums of your related niche, what are the questions that are being asked? Create a report that offers the answers and solution.
Visit marketplace like Clickbank and Amazon. Check out the top sellers of your chosen niche and create a report of the similar topics.


2. Utilize “About me” page: You can create a short description about yourself from the “about me” page. Note that ebay prohibits you to link the “about me” page to your sales page. However, you can do a little self introduction and include the URL to your website. Give them good reason to click the URL. For example, tell them you have a free report which will benefit them on your website. Few examples are:
"Click here to lose 5 kg in one month!"
"If you really want to know how I make money I have a report for you." I have got this guide off a site outside of ebay, however I feel this will be very useful for people on ebay.
