ZinText Makes your Site an Affiliate Powerhouse!

ZinText is a free service that can be used on any website to automatically link keywords to products on eBay. The links look similar to other in-text advertising links, with a double underline. When a user hovers over the link, a window pops with live listings on eBay related to that keyword.

ZinText Demo

You can try it out yourself on the  ZinText demo page.

Here's the cool part: ZinText automatically picks out the keywords for you. Just drop the ZinText JavaScript into your page, and you get instant affiliate links. No thinking required. If you want to customize it more, you can include and exclude certain keywords using their whitelists and blacklists.

ZinText uses your existing  eBay Partner Network campaign ID, so you will see the clicks showing up in your normal eBay Partner Network reports.

ZinText is able to offer this service for free because 10% of your clicks  go under their campaign ID. This means ZinText makes money the same way you do - through the eBay Partner Network.
