About the eBay Daily Deal Bonus Program
Take advantage of this great opportunity for a chance to win big money promoting the eBay Daily Deal through the eBay Partner Network. Not only will you be advertising some of the best deals available anywhere online and earning generous commissions on those sales, but now you’ll also have the potential to win one of nine $1,000 Weekly Bonus Prizes, the $1,000 Design Contest, and a $10,000 Bonus Sweepstakes Grand Prize!!! Click here to enter.
How to Enter and Become Eligible to Win
You’ll want to complete the entry form and place eBay Daily Deal ads on your site as soon as possible. That will get you entered in the program, but to be eligible to win one of the nine $1,000 Weekly Bonus Prizes you’ll also need to generate at least one eBay Daily Deal sale during the week of the drawing. So, to be entered and eligible for the first week drawing you’ll need to
register and generate at least one sale by 6/7/09. You will only need to register and generate at least one sale between 6/1 and 7/31 to be eligible for the $10,000 Grand Prize. However, the weekly drawings require that at least one Daily Deal sale is made in that particular week’s time range. Sales made in previous weeks will not carry over.
About the $1,000 Design Contest
The Design Contest will award a $1,000 Bonus to 1 (one) publisher who creates the best all around eBay Daily Deal experience on their site. The criteria we’ll use to judge will be:
-
URL name (eBay TM is not allowed in the domain)
-
Creativeness of Daily Deal integration
-
Overall brand messaging

Good Luck!

Noticed that the urls don’t seem to use the same parameters as the other links do. Am I set up correctly, or do you have some way to tell who came from where by the links that I(we) are using?
Awesome stuff!

Hi Wayne,
It doesn’t look like you’ve applied eBay Partner Network links to the eBay Daily Deals on your site. Go to the link generator tool in the ePN interface and select the item id option, then look at the rover link that is generated, there is a parameter _item= with the item id after it. You can then use this same link and just replace the item id with the item id of each daily deal. This is the easiest way to link to each individual daily deal.

I’m using the feed url that was put out in the instructions!
Guess I’ll need to redo it, thanks for the heads up!

Mike, are you saying there isn’t any way to automate this??? I have to monitor and watch for each new product and then update my site to use the feed to get credit for any sales?

If you use the link generator to create a link to the deals.ebay.com page, that url will never change. The only difference is this landing page shows all 4 daily deal products, rather than using the landing page specific to each daily deal.
