eBay Partner Network Best Practices
October 19th, 2009
With Quality Click Pricing, it’s more important than ever for you to continually optimize your traffic in order to maximize its quality and therefore your earnings. As mentioned in an earlier post, we’re planning a series of blog posts to highlight best practices and give you tips on how you can improve your traffic quality. A number of these posts are already live and we plan to post about one a week over the next few months. The topics we plan to write about are below, and thanks to all those people who added ideas for topics on the discussion boards or as a comment on the blog. This post will contain the links to all the educative articles as they are added, so it is probably a good idea to bookmark the page, so you can always easily find the whole series.
