PHPBAY/ZON vs Mage Ebay/Amazon
This post is to bring to your attention the difference in the look of your posts using phpBay Pro and phpZon vs the standard Mage posts from ebay and amazon.
phpBay and phpZon are paid WordPress plugins that give you more control over the look and feel of your site. If you are looking for site enhancements then these plugins are what you need. Shown below are the differences between the two. Also there are different looks you can achieve through the settings functions of these plugins.
Hope this brings to lite just how powerful the Mage software is.
The first display is a standard display you get from the Mage system

The next display is what would be returned from Ebay, using phpBay Pro, set to a three column display. You can change the number of columns as well as many other aspects of the display through the settings section of the plugin.

Or at least any group of products that are related to that keyword or keyword phrase…
Hello
I tried to pimp a site that I write all of my articles personally and when I put the phpbay code in, at the bottom of the article it came up all
“buy domains” type of content for the items.
Is there a way, that you know of, to be specific about the types of products that will display in a personally written article?
I was hoping that it would have taken maybe a keyword from the title of the article, but it didn’t.
I put the category number in, for the niche, but I wanted to try to put in the actual keyword that would bring up a certain product… Is that possible?
Not sure where to go from here…
Thanks for any feedback.
Mark if you are writing your own articles you need to create the call for the products by adding the keyword to the call
[phpbay]add your keyword, add category number[/phpbay] this is the simplest way to do it.

Hi Mike.
I am wondering if you are having better luck with the “Display “Buy it Now” Items Only” setting or the “Auction” setting, when it comes to setting up your phpBay settings?
I let the visitor select that.
If you say it’s cool…
…Then it will be that way on all of my sites also.
That seems to work just fine Mike.
I do notice that if I append 100 products and Pre-pend 3 products, that the 3 products that are pre-pended are the same as the first 3 products that are appended.
(duplicate, because they are two separate templates).
Will this hurt my SEO, having 3 duplicate products on the same pages?
It should not hurt. i have it that way on all my sites.
Sounds good, I’ll do that.
Hello.
Has anyone ever had this error, when trying to append a template code to an existing large site?
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 19321 bytes) in /public_html/sitebusiness.com/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 450
My site has over 10,000 pages but I would never expect that I would not be able to append something in “Posting Mage”
Is there a way to work around this?
Thanks for any insight.
Mark split your posts up into categories and reduce the amount of them you are trying to append at a time
I got it Mike. Thanks
Hi,
I bought the phpZon and was able to set it up using your excellent video. I have one question about displaying amazon products in 2 columns.
I used the phpzon icon on post page to come up with the following:
[phpzon keywords="soccer" num="10" country="US" searchindex="Shoes" trackingid="invesideas08-20" sort="-launch-date" templatename="columns" columns="2" paging="true"]
However I am not sure how to convert it using {KEYWORD} in mage instead of the actual keyword (soccer). Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Sanjeev
You can create a template using the code you show but replace the “soccer” with {$KEYWORD}. Also you might look at the video on TripleZon it works in conjunction with phpZon
Hi Mike,
Thanks for all the loads of information that you have provided on this site. You make it easy to make tough decisions. I am definitely going to buy phpZon thru your link. I just had one question about it though. Can I still continue to use the standard Mage Amazon listing along with phpZon listing on the same page? I would like to mix both the formats. I am hoping you can do this using templates but just wanted to make sure.
Thanks
Sanjeev
Sanjeev Yes you can mix them. And thank you for stopping by the site and using my link I really appreciate it. If you have any questions please let me know.
