eBay Announces It’s Own Affiliate Program
I received noticed today of eBay’s new global affiliate platform, The eBay Partner Network. The new platform is going live on April 1st, 2008 PST. Any of you affiliates using eBay ads from Commission Junction will need to sign up on the new platform and switch all of your links over. Is this a drop-dead switchover date? No, thankfully they’ll be running the two programs in parallel for one month. This means you have until May 1st, 2008 PST to make the change to all your links.
The new platform is supposed to add these great new features:
- Easy global registration to multiple countries simultaneously
- New, targeted banners and rich media creatives
- New landing page optimization and geo-targeting capabilities
- More detailed reporting capabilities for eBay’s programs
Plus as an added bonus for early adopters you can get an additional 5% for all traffic tracked through the eBay Partner Network in April 2008! So hurry up and make the switch. Here’s what you need to do:
- Register with eBay Partner Network on April 1, 2008
- Confirm your registration, and obtain your new identifiers
- Update your links with your new identifiers.
