. Using Banners or Links in Your Auction Ads If you've already scoped out the "eBaytm ~ Taming the Beast" training site, learned some basic HTML, and maybe even started jazzing up your auction ads a little (surely the section on HTML didn't scare you), you might want to add a link to your BeastTamer web site at the end of your auction description. It's FREE advertising for your site and could end up more lucrative than your auction items. You have to be careful, because eBay gets hyper about anything that tries to "circumvent" their fee structure. Here's what eBay has to say, "Links from the eBay Item page to pages that promote off eBay sales in any way are forbidden, though such pages may generally themselves contain discrete links to other commercial web pages." Okay... did you get the hint. You can link to an informational page that doesn't sell anything, and then link to your BeastTamer Sales Site from that page. If you're not yet a web page designer and don't have any informational pages to link to, you can link to your eBay "About Me" page, and then put your BeastTamer link on that page. That's the accepted method, but many eBay Power Sellers just put the URL to the actual page they want you to go to, right in their ad, but most don't make a "link" out of it. It's not as effective as just a link they can click on, but eBay's eDetective's search spiders have a lot harder time finding it. They might stick something like this in their ad: Before you leave...   Please check Out the "New" Online Auction Club we joined.  We're building a solid monthly income by just using and recommending this informative and educational program.  So can you! It's easy. If you are interested just visit http://links.verotel.com/cgi-bin/showsite.verotel?vercode=5012:9804000000XXXXXX . (Of course, the X's would be changed to your personalized code.) One of our BeastTamer team members, "Time Machine", uses this technique exclusively to advertise his BeastTamer Sales Site, and is consistently among the leaders in new member signups.  One word of caution: If eBay detects a link in your ad, they may determine it to be against their rules (which they say are very clear, but we find pretty vague). They may then send you a warning letter, or cancel your ad altogether (at least they do refund all your listing fees). If this happens, you will have no recourse. Ebay hold all the cards... and you just got trumped. That may never happen, but be advised that it is a possibility. Please use your Back Button to return to the previous page.
