A few years ago, the Build A Niche Store Program hit the market and quickly become many Internet Marketers favorite tool for making money with eBay auctions. Many Marketers quickly went out and bought hundreds of domains and installed this popular script on them. To say this script was H-O-T is an understatement.

At the time, the Build A Niche Store Program allowed beginners to quickly build niche targeted sites using eBay auctions and Google Adsense along with other ads. Many of these people were making 5 figures or more each month. Life was good if you had a network of Build A Niche Store sites.

What a difference a year can make. About a year or so after the program came out, Google took the action of delisting many BANS sites from their index. No real reason was given, though many feel it was because they viewed the sites as thin affiliate sites.

In a move that added salt to a wound, eBay then started dropping affiliates from their rolls. No one is quite sure why either. The official email that users got left more questions than it did answers. What ever the reason, some affiliates who were making a living off their BANS sites suddenly found their self without income.

There are still people making money with BANS. But can the average or beginner Internet Marketer make money with the Build A Niche Store Program? In my opinion, yes. However the sites must be built as content rich sites with the eBay auctions worked into as an added benefit to the end user.

Now days, there are other scripts on the market that can use eBay auctions on websites for added income. In fact, whole websites can be made around eBay auctions using tools and resources from eBay and software developers. Any site built around the Build A Niche Store program should have good content added. As long as Google and eBay are looking down on these script sites, the Internet Marketer needs to take action to limit running a foul of either of these companies.
