@ Jason
I am sorry that you got denied, but the reason of “Your business model involves re-directing traffic directly to eBay from display ad networks or paid search” has absolutely nothing to do with BANS, that is not what BANS does. A display ad network, is a CPM or CPC model which has absolutely nothing to do with BANS, likely you were denied because ebay is being much more discriminant about who they approve since they made their affiliate program in house and they rarely tell you the exact reason why they deny you, just list a bunch of typical reasons. Likely, your site is new and does not have any traffic that can be analyzed, and also if you did not put any original content, and beef up the site, they likely denied you because they deemed your site a “low quality” site, which is something they look for. This is also crucial for success with search engines, thin affiliate sites rarely do well in search results and get little traffic.

BANS is just a platform to build a site, a software that displays the exact same affiliate links that ebay provides to their affiliates inside their own dashboard, RSS feeds, and affiliate marketing is “redirecting traffic to a merchant” that is the pure definition of it, all affiliates redirect traffic, that is what you’re supposed to do.

BANS is just an easy way to build a site, the kind of site you build and how you make it successful is up to you, BANS still makes tons of money for many of us and will continue to do so.

There is an issue with BANS no longer being supported by its developers, but the only real issue with that right now is category updates that may need to be done manually from time to time, and at some point down the line when PHP6 is implemented it may cause quotes on sites to display incorrectly.

I would suggest you look into creating a content rich site that is useful for users, get some traffic, then reapply to the EPN program, eBay converts like crazy and there is a lot of money to be made.

I purchased BANS the other day and built a basic store. I was turned down by the Ebay partner network today. They gave me a list of possible reasons why. One possible reason is this and I quote “Your business model involves re-directing traffic directly to eBay from display ad networks or paid search (no longer allowed per our Terms and Conditions.)” So I feel I should share this info with potential BANS buyers. It seems the software is worthless now. I admit my site is not much to look at now, but it seems that it will not matter how well built it is. The sites you build are solely for the purpose of re-directing traffic to eBay from product displays.

I owe a lot to BANS ... It lead me to focusing on the ebay affiliate program which has lead to some fantastic earnings online. Today I prefer to build with wordpress and phpbay. However BANS is a solid script, would seam however that Google has targeted bans of late. Brian Affiliate Funnel Systems last blog post..Just Who Are You Buying From?

I ask about the affiliate link to make sure it is working properly, it goes through Clickbank and I had a problem with them before.

Ebay is no longer with CJ, they have their own affiliate program, called EPN you can join it EPN

OR you can use Pepperjam Affiliate Program, if you do it with Pepperjam you get a $10 Sign On Bonus, use my banner link above these comments to make sure you get the $10, you have to click through that special banner to get it.

I prefer Pepperjam over Ebay Affil Prog they have better tracking and more personal service. Then once you get your affiliate ID you can choose to build the Pepperjam version of BANS as per their install instructions.

When you bought BANS did you click through one of my affiliate links?

Hi Dave, you are totally right content seems to be the key to the indexing prob with BANS, I make sure to pack my stores with content and a couple of my BANS sit on page 1 of SERPS. Probably what the seo savvy sites are doing are buying links that pass page rank.

I love BANS, I been having a problem with about half of my network being de-indexed though, and they were all pre-owned domains, so the content is king part applies very well for BANS, if you do not have content on your pages you will be de-indexed quick, although I have seen some seo savvy sites that have stayed indexed for years with no content..hmm…
