EBay Traffic

What is EBay Traffic?

EBay is one of the most popular websites of the world, with a traffic of millions each month. Since eBay allows for the placement of classified ads, it becomes a very suitable option for marketers to tap into the traffic. By placing classified ads, the marketers are not actually selling anything, but they are promoting the links present in the ads. This is one part of eBay where the intention is not to make direct sales, as compared with its better known auction segment, but it is to bring targeted traffic to websites and blogs. Multilevel marketers use these techniques to bring people to their websites.

What are the Pros of EBay Classified Ads?

Placing ads on eBay is quite cheap. Hosting an ad for a whole month costs only $9.95, which is much cheaper than other Internet based promotional methods. This brings a lot of people to eBay to make their listings, thus increasing the traffic on eBay itself. At the same time, a large volume of traffic comes over to find out about the listings and to find out things that are up to their interests.

One of the best parts of eBay classified ads is that it is low competition. That means better individual visibility to online marketers.

What are the Cons of EBay Classified Ads?

EBay has a strict screening process for each advertisement that is submitted on it. If it finds that any person has flouted the rules and regulations, the ad could be removed and even the user account can be blocked.

Like in all other Internet promotional methods, eBay classified ads are also not absolute. They need to be used in conjunction with other methods to make a good overall impact. The website has to be professional also, which is what will help in actually attracting people when they visit by clicking on the advertisement.
