Using Multiple Keywords with phpBay Pro

by Steve on September 17, 2008 · 0 comments

Do you make money with your blog? No matter what you write about, you can spruce up your posts, and earn a little along the way with phpBay Pro. phpBay Pro is a Wordpress plugin that pulls live items from eBay and displays them in your blog posts. It automatically adds your affiliate ID for the eBay Partner Network.

The plugin displays results based on information you supply in your post. The code that's inserted into your post looks like this:

[phpbay]keyword(s), num, "", ""[/phpbay]

You insert your keyword where it's specified, and the number of results you want to display. The third parameter is for the eBay category if you want to be specific, and the fourth is for exclusion keywords.

If you wanted to show kitten heel shoes, 9 of them, in Women's Shoes, but not green, your code would look like this:

[phpbay]kitten heel, 9, "63889", "green"[/phpbay]

And here are the results displayed:

Normally, it searches for one keyword or search term. But what if you wanted to display results for two terms? Just add a vertical bar between the keywords and you can perform an "OR" search. The vertical bar is usually located on the key above the "enter" key, the same key as the backslash.

For an example, I wouldn't normally find John McCain items alongside Barack Obama items. What if I wanted to mingle them together? All in the spirit of unity of course. The phpBay code would like this:

[phpbay]john mccain | barack obama, 9, "", ""[/phpbay]

And here are the two candidates' items all mixed together:
