10 Minutes Work Can Lead To a Ton Of Traffic.

In this issue I am going to show you something I actually revealed almost a year ago, it was the 20th of December last year. Click here to check out that newsletter.

I am referring to the eBay guides section in that newsletter that at the time I titled 'Double Your auction visitors'.

Now I want you to check out a guide I wrote only 5 days earlier and I want you to check out the visitors that guide has now had. Click here to view the guide.

That guide has been viewed almost 40,000 times. Remember, this is only one guide. Also, if you do a google search for 'xbox 360 scam' you will see that guide is still on the 1st page. This is a guide that took me about 10 minutes to create and was written almost 1 year ago. Now of course not all guides will get this much traffic but I think this proves writing eBay guides can get you a lot of traffic as all guides you write will link to your eBay items.

I actually only wrote that guide as I had just sold an xbox 360 and saw a lot of eBay members getting scammed and I was genuinely trying to help. I never realised how popular that guide would become.

It's just a shame I never had any xbox 360 related material to offer. I made a massive mistake of not writing an xbox 360 related eBook but next time I will know better because imagine if that guide linked to an xbox 360 cheats guide written by me? (I think I am giving too much away here)

So how can I write a popular guide that will get lots of traffic?

If you browse the most popular guides on eBay at http://reviews.ebay.com/ you will see most cover ways to avoid being scammed and ways to protect your eBay account, you will also see a lot of selling tips. If you have any knowledge in this area that is the first topic you should cover as these seem to get the most 'yes' votes and this is what makes a guide popular, the more 'yes' votes a guide gets the more it gets shown.

Also, consider writing guides on hot items and hot topics. For example the Playstation 3 is an extremely hot item at the moment so I have once again wrote a guide similar to my xbox 360 guide here. 

Please consider giving this guide a 'yes' vote as a lot of eBay members are getting scammed right now, this will help the guide get shown more on eBay and may stop someone getting scammed.

You should also remember to use appropriate keywords as this will determine if your guides get shown in any searches in the 'related guides' section on the left hand side of any search page. This is how my xbox 360 guide gets so many views as anyone searching for an xbox 360 will see a link to my guide on the left hand side of the page.

You should also try and relate your guides to the items you sell. For example, you may be selling a weight loss eBook of your own, why not write a few guides about losing weight and mention in your guides you have an eBook on the same topic for sale on eBay. Imagine how many extra sales you could generate?

Also, another area I have not used myself but can obviously generate a ton of traffic is the reviews section, you could write a review about your favourite film, book or album, plus if you actually sell the item you review it has to help with sales.

Just remember, each guide or review you write provides you with a permanent link to your eBay items for sale and this costs nothing to do, so you have absolutely nothing to lose.
