Well, its kind of a sad day today for me. I want to tell you all that I’m no longer recommending BANS for building web sites. BANS, or Build a Niche Store has been a great little script that was my first introduction to money making affiliate marketing.
BANS for anyone who doesn’t know was a great script that would allow you to quickly build an entire ebay affiliate site in a matter of minutes. Google it seems is really out to cleanup what they call thin affiliate sites and has been de-indexing sites who use products like BANs to build these ebay affiliate sites.
There is good news though for anyone who has ebay affiliate sites or has experienced getting de-indexed by Google. What I would recommend is to replace your BANS sites with WordPress and PHPBay. PHPBay essentially does the same thing as BANS however it add additional functionality to hide your affiliate links so that they appear to look like they are links from your own site. Plus when you switch over to using WordPress (which is free) you get a much better way to publish, monetize, manage and optimize your content.
Have you felt any of the rath of Google with your BANS sites? Have you made the switch to WordPres? Leave a comment and let me know.
Joe
