One way to increase your sales is to put an RSS feed with a specialised search including your CJ affiliate ID on your site.

Instructions

The first thing to do is to go to ebay and do an advanced search. Put in all the search parameters you need and ensure you enter your affiliate ID in the appropriate box. Tick the box to save the search in My ebay then perform the search.

If the search gives you the results you expected click on the RSS icon (in the address bar on Firefox or the bottom bar on IE) and save the RSS details.

Using FeedBurner to Monitor your RSS Feeds

Go to FeedBurner (and make an account if you don’t already have one)

Now enter the feed address you obtained from ebay into the box for new feeds. Give your feed a new name or it will have a long name from ebay including the search details. Activate your feed.

Putting the feed on your site

I put my feed in the right sidebar. To do this you’ll need to edit the footer.php file from your themes folder. If you want to put it into the left sidebar edit header.php. Instructions below are for footer.php

Immediately after <div id=”sidebarright”> or after <h2>Sponsored Links</h2> depending on where you want your feed, enter the following lines suitably edited for your feed.

<h2>RSS Feed</h2>
<strong><center>some heading text</strong></center>
some more text<br/>
<center><a href=”http://feeds.feedburner.com/your feed address” title=”feed title”><img src=”http://example.com/images/rssfeed.png” /></a></center>

The image for the feed must be uploaded to a folder on your server and the correct address included above.
