Anyone doing the following:

1. Selling a product on Ebay; and...
2. Buying PPC for the product?

If so, how do you handle this with the display URL?
--------------------
Ex:
-Selling rabbit cages successfully on Ebay.
-Big traffic in adwords for rabbit cages.
-Not ready to set up my own sales page yet, though.

Could I register: BuyRabbitCagesOnline.com. and simply redir to Ebay via Adwords URL?

Against G's TOS??

Any comments / suggestions???

    Adwords rules says landing page domain has to match display URL. Therefore, if your eBay store URL is ebay.com/mystore, your display URL will have to be ebay.com

  • Why would you buy Adwords ads for a product you sell on Ebay. With Ebay you get the visitors of Ebay without paying for ads. Of course Ebay takes it´s share. But that is also a reason not to advertise for Products on Ebay. Or you would have to pay for both Adwords and Ebay.

  • The ebay listings are full of competitors for your product. You would buy ads for your competitors.

      Understand your point. But I'm willing to take that risk, since none of my
      "competitors" can match my offer, proven from the conversions I'm getting
      with test I've done on Ebay.

      My rabbit cages are converting on Ebay... but to Ebay traffic.

      And I know there's good adwords volume for this terms, with few PPC offers and
      good search volume.

      Again, I'm looking for advice before I invest the time and money into
      developing a solo site and sales page...

    It's funny that I'm just reading this thread now because my reply

    Also be sure to hyperlink the picture of the product for
    sale in your listing.

    Treat your description like it's a salesletter.

    Hope this helps

    And I agree with you about testing new traffic and applaud you
    for taking the risk.

    Most people won't ever take that risk out of fear that they may
    lose a few bucks.

    Either way, whatever your results, you WILL have learned SOMETHING.

    Let us know how it goes.

    You can probably get clicks on the "el cheapo"
