phpBay Review: EPN Wordpress Plugin Beats BANS Sites
Thursday
Mar 5, 2009
I am a long time user of Build a Niche Store (BANS) and even though I knew phpBay existed, I didn’t bother with looking into it due to my success with BANS and I wrongly assumed that phpBay was nothing but an inferior product. Mainly because I thought the name was a cheesy ripoff on Ebay. Ultimately the naming of a product doesn’t matter, it is the performance.
A few weeks ago I ran into a thread in the Warrior Forum in which several individuals talked about how they were doing very well with phpBay sites. After reading their comments I thought maybe it was time to test this product myself to see if it was worthwhile. I have stopped building BANS sites and haven’t built one in about 6 months. Most of the sites I had been creating were getting SLAPPED by Google rather quickly and I didn’t have the time to dedicate to them. Plus, I was a Beta tester for StoreStacker and I really like that program because if you know a little about PHP and web design, you can build 100% unique sites with StoreStacker. So let’s introduce phpBay into the equation.
I believe strongly in the ability of Wordpress to easily bring in traffic, but my worry with phpBay has always been that Google will spider my affiliate site with phpBay, see the plugin and I will get SLAPPED right away and lose a good Niche domain. So I decided to use just one good domain to test it and if that domain got SLAPPED I would be done with the Wordpress Plugin and go back to my StoreStacker sites.
I found a solid niche domain and started adding pages. I always use the Auto Social Poster for promoting my Wordpress Blogs, so I incorporated this into the mix as well. Google loves Wordpress Blogs and this was evident within 2 days as I finally decided to check if I was indexed and I was already listed at Number #1 for my chosen keywords (let’s just say the domain deals with Motorcycles and is a four word domain). After 2 weeks of posting and building a category structure of 4 main categories with 3-5 sub-categories each, I was done building and had a fairly nice site. I posted at least a 255 word article (what Google needs for a description) in front of all of my phpBay Ebay listings. After each page was posted I bookmarked the post at Digg and a few other top tier Social Sites and by the time I was done I was already averaging around 50-80 visitors per day.
Now I am just starting my 6th Week and I am averaging around $10-30 per day on the one site with Ebay (EPN) commissions. The range on profits is pretty wide and I tend to have higher profits on Tuesday and Wednesday for this particular site. I am getting around150-200 visitors per day and it is increasing steadily as I add new articles to the blog in an articles only category.
I haven’t been SLAPPED by Google and I am now working on building my second phpBay site. I have been very happy with the results and I can now say that it is definitely worth buying. I would skip over BANS and purchase this if you want to make money with the EBay Partner Network.

Affiliate Afterburner Review: Build Affiliate Content Sites
Monday
Dec 1, 2008
I was lucky enough to get an advance copy of Affiliate Afterburner, the Just Released Affiliate Content Site builder from Gecko Tribe, the makers of the RSS favorites Carp and Grouper Evolution. It is a little more along the lines of what an auto generated Affiliate Store Builder should be.
if you have used Carp and Grouper, then you already know how many advanced RSS manipulation features are involved with those scripts and how many different ways you can modify the software to achieve the results you want. They are litterally endless. The great thing about Affiliate Afterburner is it is fully integrated with Carp and Grouper (which are included in the download) and initially I thought it might be a little to advanced and complicated for the average user, but I was pleasantly surprised by the ease of use that was incorporated into this script.
Affiliate Afterburner has been built to create Affiliate Content sites. This is exactly what Google and other Search Engines want and Antoune Roundy at Gecko Tribe knows this through his vast experience with content manipulation. The thing I love about this software package (and if you already own Carp, Grouper, or both you get the associated discounts – $27 for Affiliate Afterburner if you already own both) is that it is all inclusive. No additional plugin support is required and you have the ability to use Affiliate Networks like Amazon, Ebay, AllPosters, Google Adsense, and my personal favorite: Shopping.com (their Affiliate Program pays per click!).
You can add any RSS Feed you desire, not to mention add videos from YouTube and add any Podcast that you wish. Plus each and every page you create can be built on an article you have written, a PLR article, etc. This is a great base for building a Product Review site with very little effort.
Affiliate Afterburner includes 15 Templates with editable PSD’s (Adobe Photoshop files) included, plus over 1500 royalty free images you can use in your sites. It also comes with a 90 Day Money Back Guarantee which is crazy!
Affiliate Afterburner has a product comparison page setup where they compare Affiliate Afterburner to StoreStacker and Build a Niche Store, so potential buyers can see the features of the software script. Check it out here.
The main thing to remember when looking at Affiliate Afterburner is that this is not a product which will auto generate thousands of pages in a few minutes. it is based on Content and not having your websites kicked out of the seach engines in 4-5 days. So if you want a SPAM engine, this is not for you. Otherwise, this is a great product which can help you build Affiliate Content sites fast.

Yesterday, Scott Trimble, the creator of StoreStacker, made the announcement that StoreStacker with all included Affiliate Prorgam Plugins, would be sold for $1. Is there a catch? Of course, there always is, but this one makes it worthwhile.

Datafeedr Review: Affiliate Money Sites Built with Wordpress
Thursday
Oct 2, 2008
First of all, it was hard for me to believe that there was a product like this out there, that actually had the ability to quickly integrate Affiliate Data Feeds into a Wordpress blog, pre-existing or new and create professional looking Affiliate Money Sites in 10 minutes or less.
I was introduced to Datafeedr just a few days ago and have been pleasantly surprised by the broad set of features and simplicity in operation. It made me feel like my Storestacker stores were not worthy when put up against the professional look this software has and how smoothly it integrates with any Wordpress site.
While Storestacker has its applications, the sky is the limit with Datafeedr. You don’t have to look for Affiliate Datafeeds with Datafeedr, they have them lined up and ready for you to use, quickly integrating into any Wordpress installation. You can use pre-existing categories, or you can let the software automatically add categories to your Wordpress Blogs as the new Products are “Dripped” slowly into your Blog on any time variation you want.
Imagine easily creating Niche blog affiliate stores, put on Autopilot without having to search for Product Feeds. Datafeedr will Affiliate Products from 512 Merchants with over 2,648,357 products to choose from. Affiliate Feeds come from Clickbank, Commission Junction, Linkshare, ShareASale, and over 100 Niche Stores from NetShops.
I was able to add Affiliate Product feeds to 20 of my current blogs in just over 2 hours. The additional features are great too. I am preparing to use the Landing Page creation feature of this software in my already ongoing initial test of the Commission Blueprint program.
This product also allows you to add Data Feed Products into Posts. I was also able to create “my own feed” with 2 affiliate programs I use which do not have datafeeds. This is a product that will be a staple of my Money Making strategy for quite some time. I absolutely love it. Spend just 5 minutes on the website and you will see. The videos on everything are perfect, the sample sites show you the capabilities, and the end results, which is the most important.
I have already seen several Product commissions from my sites! This product has already paid for itself.

Aug 27, 2008
StoreStacker’s Final Launch will be on Thursday August 28th at 12:00 PM U.S. Eastern Standard Time! YES, that means TODAY!
Unless you have been living under a rock for the last few months then you have probably already heard about HalfAgain’s StoreStacker software. If you have been looking for the ultimate in Affiliate Store building software, than this PHP script is for you. With StoreStacker you can instantly create Affiliate Store after Affiliate Store with popular Affiliate Programs like Ebay, Amazon, Clickbank, RegNOW, Overstock.com, and more!
Imagine creating thousands of Niche Affiliate Product stores populated with products from all of these Affiliate Programs instantly, and auto updating to keep fresh content, add RSS Feeds, and use keywords to add YouTube videos to add to you unique content driven, Search Engine Optimized (SEO) website.
With StoreStacker this is all possible, but this is the last time they will be offering the software. Why? Because they do not want to flood the market. This would minimize the impact of the Affiliate stores built with StoreStacker. HalfAgain wants to ensure that the software package and associated plugins retain their value long after the product is purchased.
I was one of the first testers of this software and I now currently have over 50 Niche Affiliate stores built with StoreStacker. I use Google Adwords and Social Bookmarking (Bookmarking Demon) to drive traffic to my sites and I am currently making around $6000/ month using this technique. Once you build them, they are really a set and forget enterprise. You can search high and low and I guarantee you will not find a better software package or one that can do everything this one can do for the price.
StoreStacker has gone through 2 major updates, including additions of a number of new features (free to all customers):
- StoreStacker stores can be set to automatically update – making your sites more sticky and completely hands-free.
- Users can now create a StoreStacker widget that can be placed on any outside site they want, displaying products from their StoreStacker stores.
- 12 site templates come with every purchase.
- 50+ page user manual that covers absolutely every facet of StoreStacker’s setup and use.
- More search engine optimized with tag clouds for popular products on every page.
- Amazon’s lowest price is displayed – resulting in higher clickthrough rates.
- You can choose any products to be ‘featured’, bringing more
attention and eyeballs to the products you want.
There are a lot of other products which can do one or two of the things StoreStacker can do, but none that can do it all.
This is your Last Chance! Bookmark this site now and click over to StoreStacker’s website tomorrow for the Final Launch! Do not miss this opportunity. I guarantee you will be satisfied! I haven’t recommended any product this year higher than StoreStacker!
Store Stacker Software Review: Affiliate Store Builder
Sunday
Mar 30, 2008
If you haven’t hear about Store Stacker, then you have missed out on what is the Biggest Product Launch of the Year! How many individual products have you purchased to be able to list Affiliate Products from Ebay, Amazon.com, Clickbank, Overstock.com, etc.? Store Stacker gives you all this and even more. It is a two fold product, you can build individual stores with it or you can list the products and categories inside websites or blogs you already have!
I received an Advance Copy of the software from Scott Trimble (HalfAgain), the maker of Store Stacker, and it is one of the best, bar none, products that has been released this year. Scott had the foresight to also know not to sell too many copies of this program, so he is limiting the release to 1000 copies only to keep from flooding the market. This product has already made me $145 in Commissions in 2 days!
What is Store Stacker?
In a nutshell:
StoreStacker does what NO other software on the market can – load a site with products from eBay, Amazon, and Clickbank, targeting virtually any topic or subject matter. Users build and run their own, ‘conglomerate’ affiliate store, covering any niche they want, on any site they want. More programs will be added over the coming months – Paydotcom, Linkshare, Shareasale, Walmart, and more are planned.
Also a sitebuilder:
StoreStacker can be used to add products to an existing site or as a standalone site builder (a user can build a site from the ground up with StoreStacker alone).
The benefits of the system:
StoreStacker enables website owners to give their traffic more of what it wants. More content to read, more information to digest, more products to look at, compare and purchase. In addition, StoreStacker makes it possible to manage a horde of affiliate offerings (more than they ever could manually) from one interface and updating / trying new product categories is a snap.
Why stack?
Think of it this way. Let’s take a subject matter like marketing. Amazon, eBay and Clickbank each individually have a lot of products covering this topic – books, reports, software, etc. But, StoreStacker enables you to pull products from ALL of these sources and stack them all in one place. The result? One site has ALL of the marketing products available. Essentially, the StoreStacker user’s site has 3 times as many products to feature as Amazon, eBay or Clickbank individually.
With this kind of ‘pull’, a site can become the go-to destination in their niche, because they list EVERYTHING available in one place – more than any other single place. Add more product sources like Paydotcom, Linkshare, etc, and the sites using StoreStacker become more and more powerful.
HUGE SEO benefits:
StoreStacker can add thousands of pages of content to a site and tons of low-fruit, product-based keywords. Added to sites that already have solid in-links, this can translate to a nice bump in search engine traffic. A new site created with the system has a big advantage over any ‘regular’ website.
List their own products:
Users also have the ability to list and sell their own products, right along side the products they pull from their ‘regular’ sources.
Unlimited use:
Users can use StoreStacker as many times, on as many websites as they want.
Price:
$97
First 500 Customers:
Get the Clickbank plugin for free. Please note – this is ONLY the first 500.
StoreStacker’s illustrious future:
Planned plugins include Paydotcom, Linkshare, Shareasale, and more. Each plugin will allow users to pull more products on their topics, serve a larger audience and build bigger, more effective websites.
Email support:
Coverage is close to 24 hours a day.
System requirements:
Users need a domain and hosting (like any website). Their hosting should include php, mysql and zend.
