eBay Partner Network February Newsletter

	Newsletter February 2009

	Updated RSS Feed Generator Coming Soon In March, we will release an updated version of the RSS Feed Generator. The new version will be fully integrated into the eBay Partner Network interface, so you will not need to jump over to the eBay search page to create an RSS feed. The new wizard will have several convenient features, including the ability to access existing campaigns or create a new one.				Protect Your Account Information Always protect your eBay Partner Network account information, just as you would with any other online accounts such as your bank account. It is important to know what steps you can take to protect yourself. You should always check that the URL in your browser is www.ebaypartnernetwork.com, don't reveal your User Id or password to anyone and watch out for phishing emails and sites.

	Ad Tech San Francisco and A4U Expo Europe In April, the eBay Partner Network team are attending both the Ad Tech San Francisco event on April 21st to 23rd and the a4uExpo Europe in Amsterdam on April 28th and 29th. At the a4uExpo eBay will be running a session on improving quality in Affiliate Marketing. If you're planning on being at either conference, please come and introduce yourselves to us!				Prevent Link Borrowing If you have a user content driven site such as a forum, your users may accidentally paste your affiliate links into their own sites. Publishers may think this is a good thing, but we've had some accounts get expired, because affiliate links were pasted into adult sites or eBay listings by mistake. These are clear violations, even if you did not place the link, so think about disabling right clicking in your forum so users can't easily cut and paste.				eBay has recently launched www.Worldofgood.com, which facilitates business in rural and poor areas of the world by acting as a broker and requiring that 'artisans' receive equitable payment for their baskets, pottery, and wares. This site now works with the eBay Partner Network, so if you send traffic to WorldofGood.com using US program affiliate links, and that traffic converts or signs up, you will earn commissions.
