WP Shopping Pages is a powerful new WordPress plugin from Lunatic Studios that allows you to easily add an Amazon and eBay affiliate store to your blog. WP Shopping Pages will automatically create WordPress pages populated with products based on your keywords. There is no limit to the number of pages that you can create. You can create them in bulk while targeting a variety of keywords. In addition, you can customize the structure of your pages by declaring a “parent” pages, along with “child” pages. You can literally build a full affiliate store in minutes.
Amazon and eBay are trusted destinations for shoppers and you can buy just about anything from them. So, this plugin should work well in just about any niche. Of course you will need to be an affiliate for Amazon and eBay. Your affiliate IDs will be configured in the settings of the plugin. These are needed in order to earn commissions on any items sold from your blog.
The plugin uses templates to specify how the products are displayed on the pages. It comes with a few standard templates but you have full control to create and customize your own templates. Plus, since the plugin uses your WordPress theme’s style you maintain a consistent look and feel with the rest of your blog. Below are a couple WP Shopping Pages that I have created to give you an example of how the default templates look.
Additional features include: affiliate link cloaking, the ability to create pages or posts, create drafts pages or publish them instantly and support for international Amazon sites.
WP Shopping Pages comes in 3 versions; the single domain version, the unlimited version and the developer version. The single domain version can only be used on one blog. The unlimited version can be used on all of your blogs. IMO, this version is recommended because it is the best value. If you sell or flip websites then you will need the developer version as it allows you do include the WP Shopping Pages plugin with the sale.
Lunatic Studios is also the developer of WP Robot, the excellent auto-blogging plugin for WordPress. They offer free lifetime updates for their plugins and support via their support forums.
Super affiliate and best selling author, Ewen Chia, recently released his first product of the year – Auto Blogging Income. The name says it all…this 69 page eBook covers how to profit from blogs that update themselves. Autoblogs are blogs that can pull in content from a variety of sources such as articles, RSS feeds, image and video sharing sites. Once these blogs are setup they run on “autopilot” and can be monetized using Adsense, Clickbank, CPA offers and Amazon. I currently run several autoblogs and found some great tips on targeting a niche by building an network of autoblog sites. Inside Auto Blogging Income you will learn…
Autoblogging explained
Choosing niche and keywords
Tools that you will need
Building your autoblog network
Monetization strategies
Promoting your autoblogs
Auto Blogging Income sells for just $17 and is a great resource if you are looking to get starting building autoblogs.
Alan Magliocca and Donato Spagnolo are set to release the latest version of their semi auto-blogging software, Blog Hatter Pro 2010, on March 4. For a little background, an autoblog uses software to automatically create blog posts using content from various sources. This content typically comes from RSS feeds, article directories and video sharing sites. One knock on autoblogs is that you can lose control of the content or quality of the posts. This may or may not be a issue depending on the purpose of the blog.
Blog Hatter allows you to create “semi” auto blogs on both Wordpress and Blogger. They are “semi” auto blogs because you pull in the content and customize it prior to have it posted to your blogs. This gives you more control and lets you create higher quality content. Blog Hatter is kinda like a using Word or Dreamweaver but targeted to Internet Marketers. A few of its features include:
Importing Private Label Rights (PLR) articles
Searching and importing images from Google, Flickr and TinyPic
Searching and importing videos from YouTube
Randomizing the articles and scheduling of the posts
Bulk scheduling
Translate posts to different languages
A synonym and link tool to perform bulk search-and-replaces of your anchor text links
BlogHatter will be available for $4.95 for a 7 day trial when it launches. Not sure how long that will be available so take advantage if it looks good to you. Check out the video below for more details using Blog Hatter with Blogger and WordPress.
The Clickbank Pirates, Cindy Battye and Soren Jordansen, have teamed with John Merrick to release Phantom Link Cloaker 2.0. It was officially released yesterday, December 10th. As the name suggests, Phantom Link Cloaker is designed to cloak your affiliate links but includes a few unique and powerful features. These features allow you to add a viral bar at the top of any cloaked page, a lightbox feature and the ability to set an additional cookie.
There is no shortage of link cloaking software and third party services available today. So how does Phantom Link Cloaker set itself apart. To me that would be its flexibility and the unique lightbox feature. Phantom Link Cloaker 2.0 can be used on both WordPress blogs, as well as, standard websites. Unlike other products, you are not limited to a single redirect key for your link cloaking. You can customize how each of your cloaked links appear. Below is an screenshot of the links that I have set in Phantom Link Cloaker. You can see that there are 2 different links redirecting to the same affiliate link.
The lightbox feature allows you to place a highlighted area on the redirected page. In this lightbox you can place a simple text message or inset HTML. The power in this feature is being able to build your list by adding your autoresponder form on another website. Click the link below to see an example of the lightbox feature and also the viral bar at the top of the page.
Installing the script is not as simple as installing a WordPress plugin. There are 2 options for installing the script. You can use the wizard based installation that walks you step-by-step through the process or if do a manual install which is recommended for more “technical” users. I can understand how it may make some people nervous but you should not have a problem. There are complete instructions at the Phantom Link Cloaker members websites. There is an installation PDF and 4 tutorial videos that cover:
Setting Up Hosting & Domain
Installing The Script (.EXE Installer)
Installing The Script (FTP Installer)
Your Script Admin Area
Cindy and Soren have recently added a new fast action bonus to the members area that will help you build your list by using the lightbox feature. The fast action bonus includes..
Complete cut and paste lightbox code
Excellent report to give away
Prewritten email series
Thank you and download pages

A new version of the excellent WordPress automation plugin, WP Robot, has recently been released by Lunatic Studios. WP Robot allows you to build a completely automated WordPress blog from a variety of content sources. In addition it can help to monetize your blog by embedding your affiliate links from various vendors into your posts. WP Robot features a core component that is basically the heart of the plugin plus additional add-on modules. Included in the core is the ability to pull in ads from the Clickbank marketplace allowing you to promote their affiliate products within your blog. The additional WP Robot modules will pull in Amazon products, Articles, eBay auctions, Yahoo Answers and YouTube videos directly into your blog posts.
So what is new in WP Robot 1.2? I haven’t even discussed that yet but surely you can see the potential for building niche blogs on autopilot. One thing that I appreciate from the guys at Lunatic Studios is that they are continuously looking to improve their product. They regularly provide updates to add functionality or perform minor fixes. Version 1.2 now includes the ability to add eBay RSS feeds to your posts allowing you to have the latest auction listings in your posts. There is also a new Flickr image module which can add related images to your blog and posts. The new Mix feature allows you to add the eBay and Flickr features to posts created by other modules. For example, add Flickr images to the articles that are posted by the Article module. Another welcome addition to Wp Robot 1.2 is the ability to add bulk keywords that are posted on random intervals based on your chosen modules. As you can see the versatility of this plug-in is incredible. In addition, it is very easy to install and configure the plugin from within your WP Admin console. WP Robot is highly recommended.

WP Robot is a new automation plug-in from Lunatic Studios. This plug-in is capable of pulling in keyword targeted content to your blog from a variety of modules; including Articlesbase articles, Amazon products, eBay auctions, Yahoo answers, Youtube videos and Clickbank ads. In addition, WP Robot can translate and rewrite any post that it creates. You can include your affiliate ID in any Amazon, Clickbank or eBay post to help monetize your blog.
At the heart of the plug-in is the core module which comes in 3 versions; Basic (it’s free), Advanced and Elite. The core module is required to use any of the additional modules and it includes the ability to autopost Clickbank ads. The additional modules are available “a la carte” and you receive a discount with the more modules that you purchase. The functionality of WP Robot is very easy to set-up. Basically you will enter your keyword and then select the modules that you want to pull content into your blog. You also schedule the keyword to pull content by the hour or day. In addition, WP Robot allows you to set the posting percentages for each module however you want. For example, you can set it to post Amazon products 50% of the time, articles 40% and Yahoo answers 10%.
WP Robot is powerful and easy to use, just as advertised. I have used it to incorporate Amazon products with fresh article and Youtube content to a few blogs. One recommendation..if there is a module that you think that you could possible use just go ahead and buy it. It will save you a little money. Don’t make the same mistake I that I did and buy each module separately. Enjoy and happy autoblogging.
