What is everyones preferred affiliate program to use, Amazon or Ebay?
Depends on what I'm writing. If I need a specific product then I'll usually go with amazon, but if I'm looking for a generalized product I'll go with e-bay because it would probably give the reader a better deal.
For example, I use amazon in my book list hubs, but in my nerd hub I link to e-bay because you can get better deals on dice and cards there.
I prefer Amazon, I haven't used Ebay much and worry that products will be gone when visitors click on links. It seems like you'd have to keep rechecking hubs more often with Ebay to be sure they are up to date with the products?
Ebay! I seem to earn a large proportion of my Hub Pages income from this affiliate; simply by putting several capsules on each hub. I like how I can adapt these to be very specific or very broad to enable me to seemingly use them on every individual hub. Having said this, I am sure Amazon must be very similar, though, I cannot use it due to my unfortunate location in the world - the UK; where it is not applicable for use!
daniel how much do you recieve if someone buys something on ebay from your page?
I tried to see the connection between what is sold via my hubs and what I earn, to be honest I have no idea how the two are related and consequently can't help I'm afraid. For example, I earn revenue from eBay everyday, yet I have only sold two items
