Today I want to demonstrate the beauty of a new free plugin for Wordpress blogs. It’s called FreeBayRSS by Azlan Kasim. With this plugin you can easily display both eBay auctions and Amazon.com products on your blogs. Here’s how it looks:

AND this is how the Amazon ads appear:

You can place the code for eBay and/or Amazon anywhere on your blog. You input the keywords that determine which ads display and you choose how many ads show up. And, better yet, you get all the affiliate commissions! It’s very fun. Azlan is great with support and he’s a great guy too.

Download your copy of FreeBayRSS and start playing!

Oh, and P.S. from my earlier post: Don’t forget to sign up for Deal Dot Com. Looks like it will be a lot of fun and ultimately offer some pretty good deals on Internet marketing products.

It is going viral quickly. I bet I’ve come across a dozen references to it already today. If you’re into promoting, do that too. The commission structure they have set up looks pretty cool.

The other new marketing craze to hit this week is BlogRush. This is John Reese’s creation which will potentially increase the traffic and exposure for any blog. You just have to sign up, add a widget to your blog, and you’re done. The widget will show the titles of similarly themed blogs, and at the same time your blog title will be displayed on someone else’s blog. If you also have referrals, this could grow wildly. Check it out to get more information.

That’s it for today. Have a good one! You will if your weather is anything like we’re getting here — beautiful Fall.

Just a quick post to say I’ve spent some time using Submit ‘em now — the Firefox plugin I mentioned in the last post — and I can’t recommend it. It seems in need of maintenance. (It is free, so maybe that’s the best I can expect?) I suppose if you have the time and want to stick with it, you could get some value, but maybe not.

The program works similarly to Link Directory Submitter. There is a list of blog directories to submit your site to, for SEO backlink building. You click on a directory and the registration page should appear with all or most of your blog’s information already loaded. You might have to choose a category or something, but the process should take seconds.

What I found was more directories are not accessible than are accessible, my information was not filled in, or the directory was charging a fee. Overall it felt like a waste of time. Looks like I need to do more research to find a good blog directory submitter. Apparently this one is just not being kept up.

In the case of Link Directory Submitter, the opposite is the case. They maintain it scrupulously, adding and deleting website directories regularly to make sure the software is up to date and current. Once you input your site information, you can really roll and get registered on dozens of sites in a fairly short time span. I highly recommend Link Directory Submitter, but will be deleting the Submit ‘em now plugin right away.

Jason Potash and friends have just launched Deal Dot Com. Have you heard of it yet?

This is a brand new website that will offer a discounted Internet marketing product every day. The products will be high quality and already well known. You’ll be able to pick up some gems at a great price. It’s free to sign up with and only costs something if you buy a product. Pretty cool.

The best deal though is the 2 tier affiliate program. You earn a profit when anyone you refer buys a product! The 2 tier part says that if your referral also refers some people who buy products, you earn then too! Pretty cool again.

It’s an excellent way to make some passive income. The products will be great. This launch is already going viral. Almost every marketer will want to sign up. Why not under you? Check out Deal Dot Com here.

Another find this week is a Firefox plugin called, Submit ‘em Now. It’s free all the way. With this add on you can submit your blog automatically to over 100 blog directories. It’s creator is Ross Goldberg, who went on to create some other submission software as well. Using this can announce the existence of your blog on a much broader sphere. I’ll be testing it out and report back.

I’m so busy checking out great Wordpress plugins, I forget about Firefox and all the cool stuff there!

That’s it for now. Have a good one!

P.S. I mentioned FreeBayRSS awhile ago. There was a little mixup in the coding, so a delay in making it available to you. I’ll do that asap, though.

I’ve been playing a lot lately. Actually, learning a whole bunch in the process.

I really enjoy working on blogs and websites. Tonight I’ve been uploading articles to one of my websites. The site is built with XSitePro, and I’ve been using Orwell Pro to upload the articles. I love that software. I’ve set it up so the articles upload with the adsense blocks and keywords already in place. Very easy and effective.

I’ve also been following a tutorial by one of the members of Earn1KaDay on creating a master installation and building a Wordpress blog in just minutes. This is going to be super valuable as time goes on. I’m tempted to begin building all my sites with Wordpress. Especially with the plugin I talked about in my last post.

This plugin, BayRSS, was created by Azlan Kasim. He has upgraded it again. It now incorporates a “no follow” to prevent the bots from heading off to eBay and also includes an Amazon feed generator in addition to the eBay one. I’ll demonstrate again soon. I also promised a free version of the plugin and I’ll get that up soon too.

Azlan is super creative and talented in his programming. He is also a member of Earn1KaDay. Clearly a valuable site to be affiliated with!

I hope all is well with you. Thanks for visiting.
