			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Finally, the long awaited contest.</p>

<form>
<textarea rows="15" cols="70">Make Money Online, Be An eBay Affiliate<br><br>I remember my first income generated online roughly 10 years ago was with eBay. And the last bit of cash I earned online, approximately 5 minutes ago, was again with eBay. 10 years ago I was running auctions, shipping products and all that goes with that. These days it is a whole different ballgame, I work a lot less and make a lot more with eBay. I make money online as an eBay affiliate by directing people to eBay's auctions and getting commissions on the transaction fees that eBay collects from the sellers. In addition to the commissions on transaction fees I also get paid up to  for new customer referrals.<br><br>Using WordPress As A Platform To Display eBay Auctions<br><br>As far as blogging platforms and content management systems, WordPress takes the gold for both. I'm sure that you have heard of it. It is very flexible and is always being improved. It is also a free product. It literally takes just a few minutes to get a WordPress driven site showing eBay auctions up and running.<br><br>phpBay Pro WordPress Plugin<br><br>Plugins have been being developed to extend the capabilities of WordPress since it was first introduced. The best plugin available for showing eBay auctions in a WordPress blog is <a href="http://keithjameslock.com/phpbay-pro-example-site-and-phpbay-pro-coupon/" target='_blank'>the phpBay plugin</a>. You simply upload it and activate it like you would any other WordPress plugin. And to display the auction listings you just add one line of specially formatted text to a post or page.<br><br>You can show a list auctions related to a specific keyword or keywords with phpBay. You can specify the eBay category, the price range of the products and many more options. You can get very specific or broad on what you would like to display.<br><br>Each auction that shows up on your blog will have a link to the actual action on eBay's site. The link will be specifically coded with your affiliate ID and when a customer follows the link you will be credited with the referral by way of commissions paid monthly by eBay.<br><br>Is There Really Money In It?<br><br>People often ask the following questions when I tell them how I make the majority of my money online: Why would people go through your site instead of going directly to eBay first? It's great that you get  for new referrals but are there really still people that don't have an eBay account?<br><br>You will be pleasantly surprised at both of the answers to those questions, as I was. Someone might not consider searching eBay first for a product or might not even think that eBay would even have the product they are looking for. Also, some people, believe it or not, do not even know about eBay. Some people start at their favourite search engine when searching for a product, where a link to your site may ultimately show up. The listings in the search results are fair game after all. It happens all the time.<br><br>Also, there are 1,000's of new eBay accounts being created every single day. Get your blogs up and running with phpBay and see for yourself.<br><br>Check out this post to see phpBay in action and to get a discount coupon: <a href="http://keithjameslock.com/phpbay-pro-example-site-and-phpbay-pro-coupon/" target='_blank'>phpBay Pro Example Site And phpBay Pro Coupon</a></textarea><br />
</form>
<p><strong>Entries:</strong></p>
<p>You will get 1 entry for each and every site that you post an article on. Please refresh the page to get a new article to post for each site.</p>

<li>Sites where the main blog/site page has PageRank 2: +2 entries</li>
<li>Sites where the main blog/site page has PageRank 3: +3 entries</li>

</ol>
<p><strong>Contest End Date:</strong></p>
