The eBay Partner Network - A Must Read for All eBay Affiliates

For those of you Commission Junction affiliates out there in the blogging world, you will want to take notice of the email you received from eBay today. It announces their new global affiliate platform called the eBay Partner Network. It begins April 1st and will no longer be run through Commission Junction. You do have some time to get your links changed because they plan on running both CJ and the eBay Partner Network throughout the month of April to give you some time to make the switch. They are also offering a 5% bonus for those who have made the switch during the month of April and have their sites tracked through the eBay Partner Network. Making the switch early can really make you a nice bonus, especially if you already are a steady earner with their program. Who wouldn’t want to make a 5% bonus for just changing your links?

Don’t worry, they are still going to have all the great tools and benefits you had while partnering with eBay through Commission Junction. The pay structure will remain the same and you will still be able to use the Editor Kit and affiliate API, along with the flexible destination tool.

They have also added some new features that look promising for anyone who is trying to make money blogging by being an affiliate of eBay. They are going to offer more detailed reporting for their program as well which will allow us to know where to focus our efforts even more as bloggers who want to profit with this program. There will also be easy global registration to multiple countries with just one click to register to all that interest you.

They will also provide their affiliates with all new banners that are targeted and have many advanced media features. You’ll also see new landing page optimization and even geo-targeting capabilities to help you earn even more money with their program.

They say to watch your email for April 1st, as they are sending out information with detailed information as to how to go about getting your links changed and what to do from here.
