It all started off great..

Ebay ads – something useful, something that could pay well, something that had potential to grow into a top revenue earner for us webmasters.

After the first couple of months, things went downhill. Ads went offline, revenue dropped, ads were pulled by webmaster and Auction Ads was on the verge of being just another failed/low paying network that you only use as a last resort if you’ve been banned from adsense.

We were promised changes once Shoemoney‘s half was bought out and at last, we’re seeing them.

• First, they upped the affiliate payout from 2% to 5% – always a welcome move.

• Secondly, they’re automatically giving all members who haven’t received payouts, $25 cash. Minimum payout is $50, so earn $25 and you’ll get $50

• Thirdly, they’ve revamped the ads and site into a more glossy/polished/web 2.0 machine. Another welcome change that can only improve things.

Keep going at this rate, and AuctionAds will soon bring itself back from the dead. They’ll of course claim they never were dead, but i beg to differ and i know other people would say the same.
