Shopping Ads or previously know as Auction Ads is another great way to make some money on eBay without having to buy and sell anything.

What you need to do put the eBay ads on your website or blog for a certain keywords. For example, if you put your ads on a page about Gucci handbag, you can set your ShoppingAds to display things under the search term “Gucci”.

Unlike many affiliate links which can’t be displayed on the same page as other affiliate links, you can put ShoppingAds with other affiliate (in-text) or contextual (Adsense) ads without violating any Terms of Service.

When a reader clicks the ad and is lead to eBay, you make money on a CPC (cost per click) or CPA (cost per acquisition) basis. ShoppingAds is free to join.

As simple as it seems, to earn money with ShoppingAds, it is recommended that you put the ads on highly targeted niche sites which are closely related to the ads search term.

There haven’t been many people who have success stories to tell regarding ShoppingAds, except for Alan of Affiliate Confessions. On February he made about $103 with Shopping Ads and in January he made about $222. That’s pretty good considering many people have been reporting less or no income from it, including myself.

What is awesome about his little income confessions is that, he actually uses ShoppingAds together with USAFreeAds.com.
