Niche Devil: eBay Alternative for BANS Users

By Lissie

There are several ways to make money online. Lets be upfront here - I make some of my money from flogging affiliate crap to my closest friends - that you guys! I do however only recommend what I use - and this is a new product, only just released, which I have been lucky enough to be using in pre-release. If you enjoy writing and are happy with just one or two sites then this product is not for you - but for the rest of you read on for the easiest way I have ever come across to develop affiliate websites fast.



eBay is a Fantastic Affiliate Program

eBay is about to be removed from hubpages. That is sadly as a result of a change of policy from eBay.  Many people on Hubpages are about to lose a substantial income stream from the eBay capsules on HubPages. This script may help those people - you already know what keywords are converting to sales on eBay - and that's the hard part.

They are looking for alternatives - and I've been asked recently about Build a Niche Store (BANS) program which is relatively easy way to develop a website which highlights eBay listings. There is a big problem with BANS though. Google banned almost all BANS stores about a year ago - that means that BANS stores are deindexed by Google (though often still get traffic from Yahoo and other search engines).

This meant there was a not a lot of options for those wanting to build websites designed to drive eBay sales - except with phpBay the - a script with WordPress blogs. I have heard to some degree these sites have also been deindexed by Google.

Now There's a New Alternative to BANS

This is a new script about to become available - (or may be available when you read this) - which produces unique content sites inside about 2 minutes - less once you are familiar. Its called Niche Devil  unashamed affiliate link there.

Will Niche Devil Be Hated By Google To ?

I doubt it - this script doesn't have a footprint. It produces content rich and unique sites. How does it do that? It uses legally available content including Google's own youtube videos and feeds from popular social media sites.

Sites produced using by Niche Devil are unique and violates no one's copyright.


Real Time Demo of Niche Devil

What if I am not an eBay Affiliate?

You can build Niche Devil sites around Amazon or Chikita as well.

What Do I need to Use Niche Devil?

  • You need your own domain - you can buy a dot info for less than $1, you can buy a dot com for less than $10. This script will not work with a free blog.
  • You need a hosting account which has, or is prepared to install CUBE (HostGator already has this software, any decent host should install it for you for free)
  • You need to know to down load software, unzip and ftp the files to your host. (unzip and filezilla are my favourites here - both free).
  • If you want to customise the look of the site you will need to know some basic CSS


The idea is that it builds you basically an infinitely sized site based on your keyword and targeted at either eBay, Amazon or Chitika monetization.

The sites are unique because of the fees it uses (twitter, youtube, images) etc. My best site to date which was a pre-owned domain  which had some some indexed pages when but I bought it about 2 months ago but which had been sitting on a parked page ever since.

I installed a site with Niche Devil about a week ago - 2300 pages indexed, Google came so much I had to increase the bandwidth I'm getting about 13 searchers arriving a day now for the last couple of days. I haven't done any promotion for it, I have built no backlinks. The site has been live for about 6 days - its a PR3 and is attracting search traffic from Google, Bing and Yahoo.

Will this script make you money?

Will it make you money - I have no f*king idea - but for the amount of time it takes to set up a site it seems a no-brainer. The trick here is that you have to build a lot of sites - a 100 sites is just a start really - take every hub that you have made eBay income from and buy a relevant domain name and install this script. I find it difficult to believe that you won't make money.

Will Google de-index all the Niche Devil sites?

Probably not. Its deliberately built with no foot print- that's why there are no standard about/privacy pages although you can add them if you like. You can make it pretty if you like with headers/css etc but I haven't bothered.


FAQs About Nice Devil

Whats the Cost of Niche Devil?

$97 one time cost, no subscription, free upgrades for life.

Can I get my money back?

Yes - its being sold through Clickbank - 60 day money-back guarantee- if you haven't made a profit by then you probably should!

Will Google DeIndex Niche Devil?

More experienced than people than I say no. This is what Vic says:

BANS just had ebay listings that was fresh content. ND has youtube videos, yahoo images, twitter feeds, Bing feeds, article spinning...all refresh on every new page refresh ( when there is new content from that source) For example try going to Twitter and looking for the feed for the keyword 'Obama'...there is a like 100 new tweets every minute.


Making Money Online is All About Numbers

I have been quietly developing 100 new hubs (under a different ID) in order to improve my income here at HubPages. Has it worked - yes my income in July will be 5 times what it was in April - not with five times as many hubs but twice as many - and a lot more knowledge of whats worked because I've seen the results of my own experiment.

Making one or two niche websites may result in you not even covering your hosting costs. Making ten sites means that you will probably at least make a little from one of them - make 100 sites - do you see where I am going with this?

But making websites took a lot of time- and more time still to promote the sites - and then there was Niche Devil ...

Excellent advice Lissie. Thanks for doing all of the research. I agree that marketing is a game of numbers and this seems like a great way to go.

This sounds very interesting, Lissie. Are you saying all BANS sites are still deindexed? I'm worried to hear you say some phpBay sites have been deindexed - I still seem to be getting OK traffic from Google to my two sites so far so fingers crossed.

Dumb question - how do you know if your site's been deindexed? Is it just the total absence of Google traffic from Analytics or is there something else that alerts you?

I just did some research and I'm told the latest version of the phpBay plugin (version 3.0) has no footprint so it's not likely to get picked up by Google.

are there any similar stuff for click bank ?

Lissie profile image

Lissie  says:

Its really quite different from phpBay - probably wouldn't suit your type of site Marisa. If you are getting Google traffic you are fine! If google bans you searching site:myurl.com will give no results!

Not that I am aware of CreativeMind

Lissie: That looks like an interesting program, although I must say it irks me when they don't tell you how much the software will cost until you opt in.

As solid as it looks, people need to be careful that they don't fall for the "build the website in 36 seconds and wait for the cash to roll in" mindset. I know that you have mentioned setting up hundreds of these (the old adage of throwing it at the wall and seeing what sticks), but surely you will still need to do a considerable amount of promotion (ie backlinking) to rank anywhere that will get you seen. Isn't it possible that the site you built is still benefiting from the "new site bonus" phenomenon? I know from my personal experience that a week is nowhere near long enough to determine the long term reliability of a site.

Couple that with the research you need to do beforehand, finding good keywords and niches that will sell, and there is still a lot of work to be done.

Don't get me wrong, it looks interesting, and I may even end up giving it a run down the track when I'm ready, but I'm a little put off by the "make a site in 36 seconds" spiel.

Lissie, I wasn't really thinking of setting up another site like bellydanceoz - but I had a rush of enthusiasm and picked up a few cheap domain names recently, then realised I just didn't have the time to do anything with them. I've parked them at Whypark (you may have seen my Hub) but really, it looks like that's just a waste of time. Thinking this might be another way of doing something useful with them.

Lissie, intriguing to say the least, give us a bit more about the content spinning. I really haven't come across a good spinner, how does it blend the content so it is unique and readable to a customer? thanks

Lissie profile image

Lissie  says:

@Marisa well I have a bit of a domain buying addiction so that is what I am doing at the moment putting SOMETHING up must be better than nothing

@rb11 words cause duplicate content but videos, images and RSS feeds do not ... So does it look like nonsense to the viewer? no i don't think so, but its certainly not text heavy

This certainly looks interesting Lissie and the fact that it's being sold by Vic and promoted by Griz made me take notice. As I can't use eBay I've been using other affiliates via Wordpress and popshops and haven't done much with Amazon as popshops doesn't support it. This looks good and I might try Amazon although I think they still only have a 1 visit cookie which isn't too good. It's also a good idea to have an alternative by using Chitika although I don't find they pay too well. Are you using Chitika and how do you find the CPC?

OK just to clarify the price of Niche Devil is $97 - its was stuff-up to make you sign up to get the price- so yes one time price $97, free upgrades for life etc.

Lissie profile image

Lissie  says:

@Janetra Grizz woke up to promote this oh that's good news! Yeah Vic had it developed Yes it will work with Amazon - I haven't yet (lack of time) but I believe it works just fine - the cookie is 24hr not 30days like eBay - but better than nothing!

Chitika - I'm too new to it to know- I found the sign up refreshingly pleasent -approved inside 5 minutes! I believe the CPC goes up over time as they "trust" you more as a publisher and no smart pricing - worth a go was estimate! Once I have a handle on it I will probably publish a hub

@Jazz sorry I missed commenting on your comment! The make a site in 36sec is completely correct (well Vic has a faster laptop than me it takes me about 1 minute) - but you are very right its about keyword selection and backlinks too. Not that I have actually done any backlinks yet ... And even if you suck at keyword analysis you have to get lucky with one out of a 100. Its a numbers game clear and simple

I have been hearing alot of good things about about Build a Niche Store (BANS) program, with many helpful tutorials on youtube. It seems that people are making money with the with phpBay script with WordPress blogs. Thanks for sharing the eBay alternative to BANS because it looks like if this script can build Niche Devil sites around Amazon or Chikita and eBay it has to be a winner. Great find!

I disagree you can make a lot of money off 1 or 2 websites. Build links,SEO,Good Meta Tags, and good products will make you money. But i see where your going with this and it does make sense if it works. Me i just stick to old fashioned hard work but thats just me. Thanks for the info good hub!

Liz, it seems like the NicheDevil is now sold out. I don't know when it sold out, but as of today 3, August the site says sold out.

Lissie profile image

Niche Devil has been sold out. There is a limit to the number of buyers the small IQBizz team can support and the heavy demand saw them reach that limit more quickly than anticipated.

Lots of things to comment here. First eBay is one again making it harder for Affiliate to make money with their new PPC model. You will now be paid only for click and they determine how much to pay and it's fractions of a penny in many cases. It will make it so that you are not rewarded much for big sales. eBay I am not going to work on any more because not worth the effort. Bans is a good script, but people don't use it right. I use it an not get banned by Google. Here is how. Set up Store, but don't make store your site. Make it part of a bigger site. Then hook together. No penalty and more money. But now that eBay take away big sale money, no reason to do that either.
