Ebay - No More Selling of Digital Products - Domain Names, Websites, Videos, MP3s, etc

Thursday, 24.04.08 @ 12:39 AM

Ebay is gonna ban the sale of any digital products. This includes ebooks, digital videos, websites, domain names, photo services, graphic design services, mp3s and any other services that can be delivered electronically or downloaded.

As we all know, these products are being sold in the thousands everday and this move will affect the livelihood of many sellers.

Possibly they're doing it to eliminate the growing sales of pirated products (since digital products are easy to reproduce) in ebay. Also, it will reduce a significant amount of fraudulent transactions.

Many will be asking, why not establish a separate site or section for digital products, much like a clickbank version of ebay?

Google's Video Ads Tested by Advertisers

Thursday, 27.03.08 @ 03:01 AM

Black Berry, AT&T testing out google's video ads?

You'll see that it's not that intrusive in that in a search listing, you'll need to click on a 'Watch Demonstration' link and then proceed to click 'Watch Demonstration' and finally, clicking on the button link at the end of the video ad.

Seems that it's pay per view.

Obvious benefits to advertisers is the brand exposure and of course the referral traffic. Still because it starts out as a text link, it isn't that eye-catching. Plus since it only appears in listing after a user does a search, it acts more like a tool for user to view additional 'video' info. Sort of like a preview of what the page has to offer. Or does the link go somewhere else? I'm wondering if it's a waste of time viewing the ads when I can bypass it and click on the link to the page and view direct and more info regarding the subject.

Anyway, this method should be fine with users I think.
