I am new at BANS but found that it takes quite sometime to set up one site. Personally, I'll be using BANS to set up sites with bigger niches that have greater number of daily or monthly keyword searches and use Auction Master plugin to 1. Set up auction pages in existing blogs and 2. Set up WordPress Blogs in smaller niches. I believe that the extra time required to set up BANS sites in bigger niches with greater number of daily keyword searches is well worth it. This is because I've observed the BANS auctions results are more tightly targeted that Auction Master auction results and hence the pages are better search engine optimised. Being new to BANS, I'm still trying to figure out how to integrate WordPress and Bans 2.0 using the WordPress template. I understand that there is a tutorial for this for integration with BANS 1.3 but this does not appear to have been posted in this forum. I have PM'ed one of the administrators to send me a link to this tutorial but have not received a reply. I do not know why it has not been posted in this forum - or perhaps it's been posted and I've missed it. Can anyone who has the link to this tutorial or know where the link is point me to it please. I'm unable to find categories at eBay for my various niche products to enter into BANS for page setups. I find that I'm able to find the products that I wish to display on a page by keyword search at eBay but unable to find their category number using the category search in BANS during setup. Can someone please guide me on how to get the categories to keyword specific search results and also how to change the large search box at the top of auction pages to only display the categories for the niche as I have often observed other sites are displaying?
