WP Smart Tools Review: Affiliate and CPA Offer Conversion Maximizer!
Thursday
Feb 4, 2010
Seldom do I come across an Affiliate Marketing Tool or Wordpress Plugin that I consider to be unique or in a Class of its own. I was given a chance to Review WP Smart Tools from the creator of WP Link Engine and I have definitely found a product that is One of a Kind. After you see the Video below, you will have no choice but to agree with me.
I guess the first question is: What is WP Smart tools? WP Smart Tools is a series of Wordpress Post enhancers that allow you to create Posts for Affiliate and CPA Offers that you would not normally be able to create. There are a few other Plugins for Wordpress out there that have some of the same functionality, but WP Smart Tools literally gives you so many options that when I first started my Review of this software, I was overwhelmed. I thought I would be able to review this Plugin in just a few days, when in reality, it took me 2 weeks to really grasp the enormity of what this set of tools can do.
The Two main features of WP Smart Tools are the Smart Date and Smart Location functions.
Smart Date allows you to literally create and do anything with Dates that you want to do. if you want to make visitors think that something will end the very next day, every day for the life of the Post. You can do it. If you want to expire links after a certain date, you can do it. If you want to change text after a certain date, you can do it. There is so much more you can do, this is just a snapshot.
Smart Location allows you to do anything with locations or by locations. With Google Maps integration, you can show Maps of any location, of a visitors location, or of a specified location. The real treat with Smart Locations though is your ability to use any text or links and make them location specific. Just like Smart date, if you want only people from Canada to see a certain link or text, then only they will see it. If you want to place text or links for 20 different countries in your Post, it will still only be seen one way for each person depending on where they are from. It can be as simple as a small snippet of Anchor Text in the middle of a paragraph and it will not change the paragraph format, it will just change what is seen by each person from each location. This can be done by City, State, etc. Tons of op tons here and for Affiliate Marketers this kind of Tool is gold because it allows you to focus Affiliate links by location and not have to create more than a single Post.
WP Smart Tools also has Smart Protect which enhances the Security of your Blog. It has a great YouTube Video add in which can add videos to your Post or Sidebar. It has several Widgets and CPA Offer Themes that come with it that can help give you the ability to quickly use this Plugin to create awesome Landing Pages in just a few minutes. Then it also has a nice Pop up function which can keep visitors on your site a little longer, offer then something special, or redirect them to another page or URL altogether. If you are an Offers202 or Tracking202 Member, you can easily integrate your API into Smart tools and search Offers right from inside your Wordpress Blog for creating Posts. You can add a bunch of CPA and Affiliate Networks to this search function as well, just by adding your Affiliate ID. Clickbank Offers are also included. Plus, if you have been on the fence about buying WP Link Engine, their awesome Link Cloaking Plugin, WP Smart Tools comes with a Free “Lite” Version as well so you are able to test and use it.
One of the nicest little gadgets is the Variables Tool which allows those using PPC to add specific {keyword} variables to their Posts which Google will then see, enhancing your Quality score and Pagerank in the process.
There are literally way too many options in WP Smart tools to list. it is the most comprehensive collection of tools for Affiliate Marketing that I have ever seen in a Wordpress Plugin.
Take a look at the Video I created below and you will understand what I mean: (This Video is in HD, so Click on the Full Screen Icon in the Bottom Right of the Video Player for the best viewing of the Video.)
Now that You have seen all of the Options and the amazing list of features, go over to WP Smart Tools and check it out: WP Smart Tools
WP Link Engine Review: More than Just Another Link Cloaker
Wednesday
Jan 27, 2010
I have been using and recommending the MBP Ninja Affiliate Link Cloaker for a long time, but after testing the WP Link Engine link cloaker for Wordpress, I have now switched all my Link Cloaking on Wordpress to this fantastic Plugin.
Yes, there are a lot of Wordpress Plugins that Cloak Affiliate Links. They are not all created equal and WP Link Engine has definitely taken Link Cloaking and hiding the referrer to another level altogether. For those of you who are new to this and are wondering, “Why Should I Cloak My Affiliate Links?”. The answer is that you cannot afford not to. Google will classify your site as a thin Affiliate site if you have a ton of long ugly affiliate links on it and your site’s visitors will not click on long ugly links that are obvious Affiliate URLs.
So why do I think that WP Link Engine is so much better? It gives you the ultimate flexibility to literally do whatever you want with a link, regardless if it is an Affiliate link or not. You can do Wordpress Post and Page redirects. You can do split testing between multiple Affiliate links, Posts, or landing pages with one piece of text or phrase if you want. You can direct visitors to exactly the page you want them to go to and still get your affiliate commission.
For example, if you wanted to direct people straight to the purchase page of the Affiliate Program you are promoting instead of the Affiliate Program’s landing page because you think you can do a good enough job of selling the product for them; you can do it. If you want to hide your website from your Affiliate Network because it does not meet their terms of service, you can hide this and show them a site that they would approve of instead, even though that is not where the clicks are coming from. You can GEO Target and direct people from different countries to different URLs. The options are limitless.
Then you can also create as many Keywords as you want and decide on how many times in each post that Keyword becomes a cloaked Affiliate Link. Automatically. Which is great for Auto Blogs where you want to automatically place your Affiliate links into the post content without having to input it yourself, ever!
Take a look at the video below and I will show you the inside of this Plugin and tell you exactly what it can do. I did the Video in HD, so click on the Full Screen option so you can see exactly what I want to show you. (*If you can’t see the Video it is because you don’t have the latest version of Flash installed on your computer.)

MyReviewPlugin Review: Create Wordpress Affiliate Review Blogs
Wednesday
Jan 20, 2010
There are a few Review Plugins for Wordpress out there and after a lot of debate I decided to try something other than what I was already using. MyReviewPlugin was the second I tested and I will be writing another Review on the first Review Plugin I tried later. The bottom line is: MyReviewPlugin is the best Review Plugin I have ever used for Wordpress.
There are several reasons why, but it lies mainly in the large amount of features that are available with the Plugin. You can quickly and easily setup Rated Reviews and Comments on ANY Wordpress theme. You can create a Business Directory or Affiliate Review site quickly and manipulate the content any way that you want. You are able to add the rating categories and criteria you want for each Post and then choose whether your ratings or your visitors ratings make each post or product rank in your site. Then you can embed Comparison Tables based on whatever criteria you want to show your site’s Top Products or Top Rated Listings. It is all up to you.
Some of the Best features are things like Import Man which allows you to import CSV Files and Affiliate Datafeeds to your site with thousands of products or listings in just minutes and then Cloak your Affiliate Links instantly. It will also Import Listings from Yellowpages.com from any specific category or search from that site based on the URL you choose. You can then use the Bulk Modification settings to add Review ratings to every product or listing that you Imported into the site. Then the Comment Man settings allow you to add Comments and Reviews to Products you have already added to your site to make your site look active and to provide specific ratings for your products as well. You can do it en mass or by Post. It is up to you.
The fantastic thing is that it has a built in Affiliate Link Cloaker and Keyword Tool which allows you to cloak each and every Affiliate Link for full SEO Friendliness.
The overall amount of options is actually overwhelming at first. You have the ability to change almost everything and the auto embed functions that allow you to manipulate how you put Reviews on your site are amazing. The only real way to show you all of this is to actually show you. That is why I created the Video below.
Check out MyReviewPlugin:
Overall, after using this Plugin, I have to say that there is not a better option for creating any type of Review site with Wordpress. Whether you want to create an Affiliate Product Review Site or Just a Business Directory, this is the one and only product I would use.
*Note: Since I wrote this Review of Version 1.0, Version 2.0, and Now 3.0 of MyReviewPlugin have been released with the following upgrades:
In Version 2.0: A complete overhaul of Import Man that included the following new features:
- Support for more import methods: YellowPages, CSV, RSS, Google News, etc.
- Import scheduling and compatibility with 100k+ record databases.
- Amazon-esque “Did you find this review helpful?”
- Comment Man improved to support names weighted from real world data, per-decade.
And Now in Version 3.0:
- Vertical comparison tables.
- 3 new excellent high quality themes.
- New, even more powerful embed mechanisms.
- Thumbnails / product images gathered instantly from Thumbshots.com.

Covert Affiliate Review: Best Affiliate Link Cloaker Period!
Thursday
Dec 11, 2008
Affiliate Link Cloakers are a dime a dozen. In fact, there are so many on the market these days that oyu cannot tell which ones are retreads and which ones are not. I have been using the same Affiliate Link Cloaker for over 2 years and I htought it was about time to let everyone in on a program that I take for granted each and every day. Covert Affiliate.
Covert Affiliate is different from other link cloakers in one very distinct way. It not only cloaks your Affiliate Links, it makes it so your visitors do not even have to click on your Affiliate Links for you to get credit for a sale. How? For each link you cloak with Covert Affiliate, you create a bit of Javascript code for your website. This code (which is encrypted) automatically places a cookie with your affiliate link code on each visitor who comes to your website. So even if the visitor doesn’t want to click on your link because they know its an Affiliate Link, and they do a Search on Google, and find the site that you were advertising, and then they purchase the product; you will still get credit for the sale!
There is no other Affiliate Link Cloaking software like this anywhere! I have used it for over 2 years now and I probably average 25% more affiliate sales from using it than your average Affiliate marketer. Clickbank and Commission Junction both threatened to sue Novasoft (the maker of Covert Affiliate) so the site no longer claims to effectively cloak these affiliate links. I, on the other hand, use it to cloak those affiliate links each and every day! It works and it works well! That is why Novasoft no longer actively promotes this product. They have taken way too much heat over how it delivers affiliate commissions.
Don’t lose your commissions, go a little Black Hat, get Covert Affiliate Now.
