And These Basic Templates:
www.dombom.com/iframes/3-PageBomb-eBay-Templates.zip

Prep:

1. Create a header graphic for your pages of about 780 pixels wide.

2. Have a list of 10-50 keywords relevant to your niche.

3. Sign up for eBays affiliate program and learn how to make RSS pheeds.

4. Install BlogBomb

5. Log into your eBay affiliate account and generate some RSS pheeds based on your keywords.

5B. Install these relevant RSS pheeds into Blogbomb.

Making pages FAST using PageBomb

1 Using Textpad, Open one of the three included templates (or use your own):
Left column
Right column
Three Column

2 Replace/modify the headergraphic.jpg to your own header graphic.

3 Find tablewidth=780 and change it to the width of your header graphic.

4 Create generic BlogBomb SSI tag -

Log into your BlogBomb admin and generate an SSI tag for that particular RSS pheed containing all your eBay data. Enter las vegas as your keyword and click "generate" to make your SSI tag.

It should look something like this:
<!--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/blogbomb/feedsearch_ssi.cgi?cat=1&keywords=las vegas&mode=all" -->

Now, delete the:
las vegas

And replace it with:
<<key words>>

That PART of the tag will look like:
keywords=<<key words>>

The tag <<key words>> tells PageBomb where to put the keywords you enter, using a sign instead of blank spaces.

Your tag should look a lot like this:
<!--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/blogbomb/feedsearch_ssi.cgi?cat=1&keywords=<<key words>>&mode=all" -->

Find my tag in the html template and replace it with your's.

5. Paste your keywords into PageBomb, select the folder and make pages.

6. Run pages through Keymapz Tuel to cross link them. Use the letter "a" as your keyword so all pages will be included.

7. Upload the pages.

8. Don't forget to upload your htaccess file, as well:
htaccess

A. Create a simple text file and name it: .htaccess

B. Paste this single line of text in it:

AddHandler server-parsed .html

C. Upload your .htaccess file to the same folder as your PageBomb pages.

==================================

Extra Credit:
Add other static and dynamic elements to pages so your pages aren't exact dupes from everyone else using BANS.

You can add Fatty SSI tags to your PageBomb templates.

Add relevant stuff from Amazon

Add relevant RSS pheeds, News pheeds, even Blackhole pheeds.

And/or add some static info using the "Randomz Tuel" to add static chunks of PLR text.

Add your Adsense and other stuff in the template before running PageBomb.

Tip: Mess around with PageBomb. If you mess up, run PageBomb again. It only takes a second for it to make pages and it will over-write any old pages that use the same keywords.

This is actually easier than using BANS. Get the hang of this system, as it's a very powerful system to make tons and tons of pages using a variety of sources as content.

It also allows you to add eBay revenue to "static" pages of your's, while allowing for the eBay auctions to update. The update time is set in your BlogBomb admin (cache).

Lol you are one sly devil!

That's some kiss and make up gift there Kurt!

This will make things much easier for everybody if they want to run BANs on their sites.

Btw I know I stated that I had mine set up not to automatically update in that thread in the WF, but that is not so. I forgot that RSS automatically updates.

But I did find out about how much resources it uses on my server. It's not that much right now i that helps.

Thanks ...

If you can install scripts and understand SSI/htaccess, it's really much easier than the directions.

How often do you update your ebay RSS pheeds? We could set BlogBomb to update the cache every minute, but that seems too much and could get one in trouble with a busy site.

Every hour? Every day?

Hi Kurt,

Yes, it is easier then the directions if you know how to install script, etc...

Lol this is one of the reasons I jumped in on that BANs thread in the WF.

There are some people who don't know anything about script installations, that's understandable. It's the ones that are lazy and don't try that I don't get.

In here it's a bit different because people wan to learn nd grow. At least I think. If not then they can use your instructions to learn.

To answer your question ...

I have most of mine set up to run once a day.

I do a query at ebay advanced search for listings posted in the last 7 days, then have them set to update them once a day. I've been known too to let them go for 2-3 days because they will eventually update to the listings for that specific day. But that's mainly for testing.

However, they do overlap and show listings that have expired early in the day.

I didn't know the feeds did this until after that post in the WF.

Btw, I may not be saying that right. Hope it makes sense ...

Mary
