Many folks have looked at one of my example Wordpress niche websites and wondered how I got the eBay affiliate RSS feeds on the pages of that blog. There are a lot of tools and plug ins that you can buy that will do this, but I use a free online tool that converts my RSS feed from eBay into a little piece of code I put in the HTML area of a WordPress blog page or post.
Works great for me. While it may look confusing when you first look at the tool, it really is quite simple.
I am making a pretty big assumption here that most of you know how to make a RSS feed from eBay that includes you ePN (eBay Partner Network) affiliate link. If you don’t know how to do this, please speak up and I will do a post or make a pdf with pretty pictures that will walk you through it.
