Phpbay Pro vs. BANS (Build a Niche Store)

Do you want to make money on the internet, and as soon as possible? Setting up an internet store is a proven way to monetize web traffic. However, becoming a web merchant can be a long process and requires a large investment in money and space for resale goods. So how do web merchants bring in the big bucks without breaking the bank? They set up an eBay niche store.

There are two major eBay niche store programs out there: Phpbay Pro and BANS, which stands for ‘Build a Niche Store’. They have several key elements in common. Both allow you to build a store on your website using eBay products that are sold by other vendors. This offers quick and easy money, sometimes taking just minutes. Both use the keywords and phrases on your website to determine what products will sell best to your audience. Both stores can enhance your search engine rankings by adding relevant and valuable key words to your website. However, there are a few key differences.

Phpbay Pro is unique because it is also a wordpress plug-in. Wordpress is a very Google friendly format, so this can mean being higher up on a search engine results page. Also,  Phpbay Pro masks the links, so they come up on Google as fresh content, which again can increase a search engine ranking. Users report that the customer support at Phpbay Pro is nothing short of amazing, which can be a huge bonus if you are new to the niche store concept.

BANS has an excellent range of templates, which allow users to customize the look of their niche store. Another benefit is that they are easy to install.  However, BANS does not have the same wordpress options as Phpbay Pro, and therefore will not reap the same harvest of web traffic for your website. BANS also is generally considered buggy, with quite a few annoying and malproductive quirks. Although BANS offers an attractive addition to your website, they will bring a few headaches along for the ride.

If you’re afraid putting this kind of money-maker on your site will compromise your site’s integrity, think again. Phpbay Pro and BANS both allow users to choose their vendors and categories, which can prevent inappropriate items from getting onto a website. They also both use keyword driven listings that are guaranteed to be a good fit with your website. Whichever you choose, there is no reason to let your website go another day without adding this easy and lucrative money making feature.
