Jason Keith — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 20:40:22 +0000

I just wanted to take a few minutes to tell you about a really cool WordPress plugin I grabbed today. This plugin is different from many other affiliate marketing plugins that I've used previously.

This plugin, called GoPagesPro, is an amazing plugin for managing affiliate links and tracking your affiliate marketing campaigns.

This plugin does three really important things when it comes to affiliate marketing:

It offers multiple ways to redirect your affiliate link to increase conversions
It offers really easy-to-track statistics for every affiliate link you create
It gives you the ability to exponentially increase traffic to your affiliate links via viral traffic from social media sites.

Let's discuss all three features in greater detail:

Redirection Features

GoPagesPro allows you to easily redirect your affiliate links straight from your own site. Here are some of my favorite redirect features:

Create shortened, clean links that are proven to get more clicks
Hide your affiliate IDs from commission thieves
Keep people on your site using iFrames
Select from either an iFrame or standard redirect via a drop down box.
Amazon affiliates: Bypass Amazon's "no iFrames" rule with simple redirects
No 301 Redirects
Built in SEO (add descriptions, meta tags and keywords)
Plus many more features.

Viral Traffic Features

When you use the iframe affiliate link feature, GoPagesPro can display social media sharing icons (Facebook like button, Pinterest pin button, retweet, etc.). This means you can get more traffic out of your existing marketing strategies.

Summary

I have been playing with this plugin for the past hour or so. I am very impressed. It is incredibly easy-to-use and setup and the opportunities are amazing. It is going to make tracking and setting up affiliate campaigns so much easier!

WP Review Engine Plugin Review

Jason Keith — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 00:29:44 +0000

WPReviewEngine is a plugin that allows people to quickly build themselves a review Web site, such as for gaming, computer software, hotels, real estate or anything else you might sent your mind to. This plugin will include thumbnails, star ratings and custom fields that can all be controlled right in the administration panel.

Your readers can include ratings when they post comments on your Web site, allowing your Web site to effectively become a place to read reviews about whatever kind of products you wish. Best of all, it can be placed into any theme at all. This means you do not have to worry about finding a compatible theme – instead, you can look at whatever appeals to you.

You get the option to enable WPReviewEngine wherever you want to on your Web site, so not every post you make has to include ratings, nor does every comment have to include it, either. Also, if you want your Web site to look more trustworthy and to encourage more people to sign up and write reviews for it, you can automatically generate user comments – make hundreds of them. You get full control over each one, as well.

Just like an actual review Web site, you want your posts to be ordered the right way. After all, you will want to show your highest rated products first, or you can opt to show the products that have the most comments. However, you can also use the default method that WordPress uses, as well.

You can set up Bayesian weighted ratings, too, to ensure that products are not listed incorrectly. For example, you can take this precaution to make sure a product that has 20 five star ratings and 20 four star ratings – for an average of 4.5 – maintains its rank over that of one with two five star ratings – for an average of 5.

WPReviewSite allows for sorting of posts by rating or number of reviews. This is an important feature for any review site to have, as it allows users to find the highest ranked products that they are looking for. WPReviewSite uses an algorithm that sorts posts by best rated, but still takes number of reviews into consideration. This means that a post with one, five star rating will not be ranked higher than a post with four, five star ratings and one, four star rating.

There are several other features included in the WPReviewSite plugin that review site owners will find greatly enhances their site. WPReviewSite will embed Google Maps, which allows for easy directions to any business that may be reviewed. The plugin also creates comparison tables, which comes in handy for people who wish to show several different facts about something being reviewed, besides its rating. There are also two sidebar widgets available with WPReviewSite, including one that provides the top ten rated items and one that provides the ten most recently reviewed items.

The WPReviewSite plugin also provides a way for users to review an item in multiple categories. For instance, if a restaurant is being reviewed, a site owner can set up ratings for taste, service, and décor, adding an extra level to each review present on a site. This multiple category rating system will also treat zero star ratings as null, with a one star rating being the lowest score possible.

WordPress Affiliate Theme Review

Jason Keith — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 18:13:02 +0000

Affiliate Theme, a WordPress theme used to create affiliate websites, uses a straightforward philosophy to aid affiliate marketers – use the most popular blogging software, WordPress, and build more effective pages by focusing on a single subject matter, the affiliate theme. By focusing on one cohesive element, marketers benefit from producing multiple landing pages to increase traffic, which in turn, increases sales.

Affiliate marketers note the multiple, and uncomplicated ways, to use Affiliate Theme’s features. Users have two main steps. First, input your offers. Second, design and customize your pages using code-free or code-your-own options.

The second step takes place in one spot, the Theme Options Panel. From here, you choose your layouts, fonts, colors, and button sizes. If you need to change your product focus or create multiple pages, you may easily change your designs by clicking a few buttons. Furthermore, you have the ability to choose pre-made background images or upload your own. This allows you to easily build different pages for different products.

Once you complete your design, provide your headlines and content. Affiliate Theme picks up from there to improve your search engine rankings by ensuring proper use of tags. In addition, users may track scripts from the Theme Options Panel. For example, users paste their Google Analytics directly into a “Footer Tracking Code” to receive real-time analysis of the numbers. By using tracking features, marketers analyze what site elements work, and which ones to revise. Because you do not manually update pages, you have the ability to easily tryout changes such as your website’s color scheme without losing time or money.

Affiliate Theme offers packages to fit all budgets. A single-use package costs $97 while a multi-use packages starts at $147. How do you know which package is right for your marketing needs? Just answer the following: What do you want to promote and sell and how many websites do you need? If you need to use Affiliate Theme on more than one website, opt for a multi-use package.

Once you sign up for Affiliate Theme, you have access to the Resource Center. The Center targets all user levels and provides tutorials, sample sites and more. This is the place to go if you need some guidance on what colors sell electronics and beauty products.

All Affiliate Theme features help marketers stay up-to-date with the latest marketing trends. The easy-to-use features ensure that affiliates maintain a customer-friendly website that monitors and increases traffic. For those looking to increase their networks, Affiliate Theme also works in conjunction with the WordPress affiliate program. This supplies you with banners and links to place directly into your website. In turn, you receive real-time reporting to track sales, traffic and your profit levels.
