✿ eBid blogs, blogging, bloggers list ✿

[bykimbo]

I've started to use my blog to direct people to my auctions. Here is my most popular page so far - http://tinplatetoys.blogspot.co.uk/p...-first_05.html . The main part of the page is high quality, useful, free info (I know it's useful because I can see the searches people enter into Google search that lead them to the blog. You can also see the 'overflow' of questions that are not dealt with by the content at the bottom of thepage). The sidebar now has a couple of picture links to related eBid auctions. You can see the traffic for the last 30 days on the counter at the top of the page. Obviously there is a lot more space in the sidebar for ads but I'm really having trouble finding out if this is genuinely O.K. and approved by Google or not. This is, more or less, the complete expression of my idea for using blogs. The plan now was just to create more pages that bring in traffic.

I wonder if anyone else has any ideas on how to use the blog/traffic.

Can anyone tell me how to add the code for Google Analytics to a blog? I can't see where it's supposed to go.

Oh yes, I also tried monetising the blog using Googles own ads but I didn't like the way the ads were fitted into the pages.

Just registering that I've seen this and found it interesting, thank you. I don't have anything useful to say about it at the moment but I'll give it some thought. Thanks, yet again, for all you do in this area.

Not sure I under stand correctly but I have an ebid account and a blog so I think I qualify. My store is
http://uk.ebid.net/perl/main.cgi?mo=...y-doggy-things and my blog is
http://dogsetcltd.blogspot.co.uk/
It would be nice to have more visability of my store and blog so I think this is a great thing.

Looks like these passed on before I got to see them, having been somewhat absent. I'm still *somewhat* absent, but am managing the occasional drop-in, so if there is anybody who *now* would like to be added to the lens / list, please let me know. Ta muchly.

Just a note to anyone interested.

If you are selling or intend to sell vintage tin toys on eBid I will give you a free link to your shop from my blog - http://tinplatetoys.blogspot.co.uk/ (currently approx 3000 visitors per month).

If you are selling or intend to sell vintage toys on eBid I will give you a free link to your shop from my blog - http://collectingvintagetoys.blogspot.co.uk/ (currently just starting up but should grow).

Plus, if you have a really nice quality vintage toy listed I may be able to feature it in some way (i.e. A 'Spotted on eBid page). I will want a good quality photo that I can keep though (as the page will stay up after any sale) and some evidence that the item is not priced too 'speculatively'.

Just let me know.
