This is a TOP 100 WordPress Plugins list grouped by types of plugins. I decide to post it on my blog instead of making an ebook from the content and sell it as my own. While I don't use most of them because I don't have a need for them on my blog, I find that the list offers many choices for WP  users.

For example, I finally bough Ninja Affiliate(in this list) yesterday since the old plugin that I used to convert keywords to affiliates links  did not work since WP 2.7.  I emailed them but never responded or updated the plugin. Yes, that long. Ninja Affiliate came out a few months after and still being updated so a worthwhile plugin for most bloggers.

What was the effect of a working plugin that did not work?

I lost a few sales during that time because:

• I did no go back in posts to palce a link to offers
• I did not know if I would convert my main blog to MyStarterBlog or keep WordPress. I had other things on my plate. Then again, it's always like that
• At that time, the Ninja Affiliate was costing more than it does today. I bought a single license(not offered then) to keep my cost down but if you have more blogs, buy the developer version.

Since I finally decided to stay with WP with this blog, I bought Ninja Affiliate as my first WP plugin in 2-3 years to work on here. Hopefully, I may get again a few sales here and there like I used to have by using Ninja Affiliate(a good buy, easy to use).   But, 99% of my other sites are using MSB instead of WP.

While some of them are paid plugins, most(2/3) of them are free.

Once you created a backlink from articles using ArticleDemon(aff.), you must tell the search engines about it or wait to for it to be found. So, I decided in my last beta version of MyStarterBlog to create a "link template" just for that task by letting users import links into a bunch of posts.

The idea was to take 100s of backlinks(articles, profiles, bookmarks...) and help the search engines find them quicker. Each backlink indexed in Google is better than none.

I finally bought and distributed my first batch of articles using ArticleDemon. After 2 weeks, I had 206 that were still not indexed yet out of 235 still live ones. Some were deleted by owners or did not have any backlinks in my articles. the other 700+ articles will have to be approved in the coming months.

I bought a domain name previously and created a "link directory" using the template for Site directories except that I did not Read metatags since I Combine URLs with 125 backlinks per post for those articles posts. I used more URLs per post in a previous way but did not tracked the result.

I uploaded the new post, pinged the site using Pingler, did a  BMD run of those articles using only 9 dofollow social sites(no main SB sites) and the 2 posts after. I waited 1 week to see if the new post would be indexed. Today, I have 62 out of 209 that are now indexed.

Since those are backlinks with more value than profiles backlinks, I thought it would be worth a little time to help indexed them my way/faster.

I used for 2 months the Drip Feed Blast service(forum profiles) to create backlinks thus lower quality backlinks. Out of 114000 profiles, I got about 36000 still active links. Each blast gave me about 50-55% backlinks. But with time, some are deleted or are not visible.

Yesterday, I created about 180 posts for those 36000 and just used Pingler to pinged  the mais page site only. I did not  do a BMD run for each of those posts like I did with the article.

For now, I thinks it's working well but time will tell if it's worth my time. IMHO, I think so for articles.

One cool feature of  ArticleDemon is that you can get it to find the backlink of your published articles. Btw, that's one more  reason I like it and recommend it. I used The Best Spinner(aff.) to spinned my articles before to get unique content.

My CB Traffic Warrior(aff.) review is going to be very short. After knowing that this is an article submitter but cheap, I decided to offer a better alternative but with more potential on the long run. Btw, I hate hype salespage and so I did not bought it. Yet, the principles are sound.

You see, in SEO(Search Engine Optimization), you must have the most diversity of links. So, articles are one of those methods and  CB Traffic Warrior fall into that category from what I know now.

If you don't have the money, then it's a good deal until you have it for more and better tools. Heck, I bought a few tools in the past years so yes, I invested in my business.

The Alternative

The better alternative to CB Traffic Warrior on the long run is this: The Best Spinner(aff.) and ArticleDemon(aff.). That's what I suggest.

The Best Spinner(yearly cost) was updated this week to be able to convert batch file. Can you say PLR dream land? I hate writing so it a plus for me. You can still test The Best Spinner for 7 days first.

ArticleDemon(one time) is next on my purchasing list. Being a fan of BMD(aff.), I expect AD will perform like is brother in link building since it herited some features from BMD. At this time for articles, I'm using another software but it does not have automatic captcha support that ArticleDemon and BMD have.

The reason I don't do articles at this time, thus have time for ArticleDemon, is that I just bought Auto Website Submitter(aff., yearly cost) to replace my current directory submitter. I have many sites to submit to more directories than before since I like to have a lot of links for each sites.

Btw, Auto Website Submitter has support for captcha services that BMD and ArticleDemon are using. So, I can buy captcha credits from one place and have my 3 softwares use those. That's great for me.

My Basic SEO link building

If you want to/can invest in your IM business now rather that later, here are the 4 basic software your should get. That's if you have the money, of course.

• Directories: Auto Website Submitter
• Social bookmarks: BMD
• Articles: The Best Spinner and ArticleDemon

Since I wanted to go cheap at first like most people, it ended costing me more. So learn from me and think about if IM(Internet Marketing) is a business or an hobby for you.

Conclusion

I gave you an alternative to link building that yes, cost more than CB Traffic Warrior but will give you more return on the long run and diversity of links.

Speaking of diversity, I use LinxBoss(aff.) to add to my diversity of links and other services that I'm testing currently. I also use with success  RMT(aff.) to get non-SEO traffic to my money sites.

Update Dec. 4 , 2010: I bought ArticleDemon and adding new directories before starting the submission of my articles. Like BMD, the more sites I can submit to, the more backlinks I will get and stick.

Yes, I'm doing a review of Auto Mass Traffic(aff.) and even bought it despite the hype! At first, I was thinking it was about list building because of the things not mentioned on the salespage.

But, it's about basic PPV(Pay per view) targeted traffic plus a software for it. That was the software that intrigued me too.

For me, it was a basic(PDF) rehash of RMT(same guys) that I bought and reviewed a few months ago plus a software that I mentioned earlier. I did not take any upsells since I wanted the basic package first.

Do read my earlier review because I believed that PPV is one way to get cheap targeted to my money sites. Heck, I'm still using the same service since March. With Auto Mass Traffic, it's another service that demand a lesser deposit($100 vs $200).

Software

Now, the software is web based so you will need to login to use it. It's very basic because you just need to enter a few keywords and it will show the URLs(paid,organic)  from (Google, Bing, Yahoo) that you can enter into the PPV service.

Conclusion

In the end, I would recommend Auto Mass Traffic if:

1. You want to try your end at PPV before jumping into PPC(Pay per click).

2. You want to pay for traffic like $0.015/view. I'm using EPN and they pay me about $0.30-0.40/click. So, I'm sending that cheaper traffic that do click and buy on my money sites. Even if a 1 visitor out of 10 click once on an item, they will click a few times more or not once on eBay. In the end, its cheap and targeted.

3. You have an already good converting money site thus want to increase the targeted traffic to it. At least, you will pay less since most will click/buy.

So you have it:  Auto Mass Traffic(very basic(pdf), cheap) or RTM(more advanced/videos,cost more). I won't ask for a refund since I learned a few alternative ways to my current service. Plus, I have access to a software that I could had program myself(time I don't want to take).

At least, it's not a scam but they do show the, arggg, 500 copies limit. It's manually update once a day. Let's see tomorrow if the price do increase and the copies sold remained the same for Auto Mass Traffic!

When I first heard of Auto Blog Samurai (aff.), my thinking was cool, a new way to make money for newbies/expert alike. Since I did not bought it, I at least watched the 61 minutes video of the webinar they had done because they showed the Auto Blog Samurai software they are selling.

But here are few things I still wonder about that were not  really answered in the video IMHO and  few things to consider. Was I a sleep or what?

To host or not to host?

They are using third parties hosting(Blogger, WordPress) to publish the auto blogs. It's a doubled sided sword since on one hand, you don't pay for hosting your blog but on the other hand, they can also banned that blog thus will have to redo your work again.

I might be a control freak, but I prefer to control my hosting solution than relying on a third party too much. I know, this will raised the price of doing business.

This does not mean you can't use them to get backlinks to your money site in your overall linking strategy.

That's one thing to consider.

Where is the traffic?

I understood where they take the content(more later) but how will it bring content without using backlinks(SEO) to the auto blog? Yes, once saved, it will bring a trickle of traffic from the RSS feed submitting/pinging. But is it enough to make a $1/day auto blog? Perhaps.

Of course, if you did not take a good paying keyword, you just create another auto blog since it's free to do. Yes, having your own domain name, it's a risk too. I know that very well with .info of last year.

Is it really auto updating?

They showed how to get the content and that's cool. But I was under the impression that you still needed to add to it your self from time to time even if part of it was post dated in advance. I presume that you must keep the software running all the time to remind you that one of the blog is about to not have any current post.

But if you have a RSS feed showing on the front page or sidebar, that will be auto updating itself. However, if the keyword is time base on a hot product, in a few months that product might be "old news" thus not make you money.

That the importance of choosing the right keyword... again.

Diversify source of income?

The video showed many ways to add different  income streams using Auto Blog Samurai at the same time. It might just be for the demo but I would suggest to you  to select one per blog.

This way the person will only click on the  product and not be confused by too many options given to them. If they click, that's because they are more interested to buy thus more targeted. That my opinion/suggestion.

Also, if you use Adsense on all your blogs, you will be smart price since some of your blogs will only pay pennies while other would had paid you dollars per clicks. I seen it with my own account and the reason I removed Adsense for most of my sites.

Mass banning in your future?

If Auto Blog Samurai becomes too popular all of sudden, I bet you that Google will find a way to either banned them or deindex them. You always have a trace somewhere/somehow. Having mentioned that it could be short lived, you could still learn a lot and make enough money to start alternatives until this happens. When, I don't know?

Remember when BANS became hot in 2008 or Niche Devil in 2009? Those sites were all deindexed a few months later and I lost most of that income myself. It's a risk that you should be aware of.

BANS grew by a 100K in a few months. Now, imagine many creating 1000s of blogger or WordPress blogs  all of sudden because it's free and the of the ease of use of  Auto Blog Samurai?

Conclusion

Me, I have enough on my plate(niche blogs)  for now that I don't have the time. If I had, I would had tested out since the cost is acceptable for me.

But do I recommend Auto Blog Samurai to everyone? Yes and no.

Yes, if you expect it to be short lived, can accept the risk/learning experience and ready to reinvest part of the money into alternatives from the start.

And a No for those that thinks it's too much work/risk  for a possible short pay out and that don't want to reinvest that money into more alternatives from the start.

My intent was not to discourage you but to warn you of possible issues of using Auto Blog Samurai. At least, check out the video to see if it's for you!

One of the file management and FTP software I use daily is PowerDesk 8, I mentioned it in a previous post and I recently,last month(more later), I upgraded to version 8. If you don't know, I have bee using it since version 4 came out.

Now, you can save 35% using coupon code AQCM35 (Updated to the latest % code when offered: Cyber Monday 2011).  But do click the above banner to get the rebate. Otherwise get 10% valid until 3/31/2012 by clicking on the link below:
Save 10% on PowerDesk Pro 8

Note: As of 2012/01/02, PowerDesk  8.5  is  out and I upgraded 2 weeks ago.

The upgrade

When I upgraded from 7 to 8, I was in the few unlucky ones where the FTP part did not work properly for me. So, I was hesitant to recommend to current users to do an upgrade.

But with the recent update(not upgrade), all was fixed for me and the FTP is now working correctly on pre-8 FTP account I had created.

The trouble was the addition of a new safe FTP feature in version 8. I was not able to use my older FTP account created under version 7.  New FTP account created with 8 worked great but to use an older account, I had to deleted it and recreate it. It was because there were no option to change the FTP mode of the previous FTP account.

It was a pain at first since I have 200+ domain to maintain. So, when I needed to FTP files to a domain, I had to take more steps. I was lucky in a sense since many were not going to be renewed in the coming weeks. Plus, all new domains were created under version 8.

FTP

Despite of this minor snafu, it's great to have my file manager and FTP in the same software because I can drag and drop my files generated by MyStarterBlog. With PowerDesk, I have 2 panes: 1 for the site on my computer(Top) and 1 for the FTP account for the domain(Bottom). The left is the tree directory.

Other features

Of course PowerDesk is not just that. It's a File Viewer, Sync Manager, Size manager, Archive Manager ...

So, it does a lot more like you can read.

Conclusion

Bad things happens and it's up to the user to tell companies that something went wrong or not working. So, I did(emailed them) plus suggested other features that could be great to have later on.

One cool thing is that when you upgrade, you will have a better discount in the future. Even without the coupon code, I still recommend that you buy or at least consider using PowerDesk 8 for your file/FTP management. PowerDesk 8 getting better and better each versions!

Another day, another "limited copies" offer but from Traffic Anarchy this time around. Is Traffic Anarchy a scam or just misleading customers? So, again  I have done some research and for once, it's not a scam but I do have some mixed feelings about it.

I want to make it clear that I did not buy Traffic Anarchy and don't intent too.  I however did  some researched to see what was the "product" beforehand.

About my mixed feeling first

Why I did not buy it? Because of the claims of only 350 copies. Now, I always have a doubt but it seems it's the "new sales pitch" in Internet Marketing world this days and it has to stop now.

Now, I did not find a "contest" for affiliates but I was hit by 2-3 emails at the exact hour it was launched. This is not a good sign and that's why I have some reservation about the limited copies mentioned on the salespage but...

The Traffic Anarchy product

Traffic Anarchy is a basic software solution that will let you submit your site to many places(RSS feed, Social bookmark, Press Release, Articles directories) to get backlinks and traffic. For a new person in IM with a limited budget, I don't mind recommending Traffic Anarchy.

The software just submit to a limited number of places thus the impact will be lesser. However, it's good that's it not the small sites but the major ones for each categories.

Conclusion

Later when you have the money or if you have it now, I would suggest you get bigger tools(BMD for social bookmark) to get more backlinks. Yes, I own it and use it everyday of the week like other tools. For me, BMD is a must have in my chest of  tools.

But if you don't have much money for tools and want to try your hand at IM basics, Traffic Anarchy is a good option for you since it's an all in one software and will show you the basics of getting backlinks from different sources. It's better than doing it by hand in a semi-automatic way(like entering captchas).

Again, it's mostly the 350 copies that I'm not liking on the salespage of Traffic Anarchy.

To get spiders come to your site or blog, you need to tell them that you updated your site. That's why having an updated ping list is a good thing.

I already had an old list but with too many dead ping servers. So I went online and found many older lists(thanks) or older post about that subject. The reasons I wanted a new list was for 3 reasons:

1. MyStarterBlog

I wanted to had a ping function in a theme for MyStarterBlog(my own software). I created a new batch of small MSB sites to make money online from them since I'm doing Internet Marketing. Plus,  I don't use WP for the reasons I don't want to be bothered with the whole security/MySQL issues that gave me problems in the past. It's set and forget for those make money sites.

That's why I generate my sites using MSB because it creates a flat file blog/site. I need to upload to site with every change. In this case, my money 3 pages blog/site took about 100KB. For 1 installation of a WP blog, I can have 40+ MSB sites thus taking less space or resource on my hosting account.  I don't need a MySQl database either. The themes are SEO optimize, RSS ready, sitemap... but was missing the ping feature until now.

So, I found some php code to ping my sites made with MSB. I modified a few lines at the start for MSB and it was simple.

1. Download the code/ping list(173 ping servers, zip format, 2.9KB) to your MSB theme directory. You should change the default file names for your own needs.

2. Generate or regenerate the MSB blog/site.

3. Upload the updated new files

4. To ping,  just do that in your browser:

http://mywhateversite.com/ping.php or new name of the php file

Voila! It's done.

My goal was to be able to use the current MSB version and be optional for users. So, if you don't want this ping list for MSB, just use the list for ....

2. BMD

In BMD(a must for bloggers in my opinion), you can promote your new blog post or site to social bookmarking sites. It has a feature to ping your account page on those social bookmaking sites. This way your post will then be crawled.

One cool feature is that it also let me test each of them(active or not) and find duplicate. Those 173 ping servers were active when I created my list. I had 350+ at the start from copying lists. It took me some time or should I say BMD to check them out.

3. WordPress

As I'm writing this, I still using WP to write on this blog. So, I wanted to update that ping list too.

I may in the future convert my blog to MSB like I did with another blog that I did not allow comments (no enough time to respond/too much spam). I'm glad I did that since it make me passive money even if I don't update it often this days.

However, I might just keep WP here since MSB is mostly for secondary/no comment allowed blogs or make money sites(set and forget) for me.

I hope you like the ping list.

Btw, when a ping server is still live, it make it faster to ping  in BMD or MyStarterBlog and WP.

Not so long ago, I was put in touch with a young woman that wanted a basic site for her new business. Sorry,  it's a local French speaking business in Québec city(ville de Québec).

In her case, she does not have any computer yet. Yes people, not everyone are online 24/7 and the money goes to something more important: her children.  That, I can understand and I'm always impress when people take control of their financial future even in this economy.

Working with MyStarterBlog

I used a current MyStarterBlog theme but modified it to her basic need. For now, the site is like a online brochure and I will update myself. Later if she get a computer, I will teach her how to update the site herself if she want.

She work mainly from her cell phone to take appointments so for now, I removed the contact page.You do need basic HTML/CSS to modify the theme.

For the graphic part, she was redoing her business cards and I asked her designer for a few jpg(logo, background). He was nice enough to email me those.

The site is done so that I don't have a RSS feed or news section. I only used the [homepagecontent] and a few pages/tags. Like I said, it's mostly to have an online  precence  and refer clients to the site to get more information after giving her business card to them.

Since I don't use any backend, I don't need to care about security issues. Also, it's light and fast for the server.

Making money with local businesses sites

Depending on your skills, you could start making a  basic site using MyStarterBlog to businesses near you. You could add some SEO services too if they have the budget.

Conclusion

In theory, it's something that could be done quickly if you have the content of the site first.

For me, it was a way to test the possibility of converting an English theme to French. Also, show what's possible to do with MyStarterBlog by going beyond the normal uses.

Sorry for the lack of updates recently. I have other projects in the works but also updating MyStarterBlog to 1.7. Some preferred to wait for a stable version. You have one now!

Here are a few features:

• The free version allow unlimited blogs now. Of course, I prefer people buy MSB
• Added a List posts button to make it easier to add the bookmarks to do a BMD run.
• When the post was shown partially(more), I was writing in English: Continue Reading: post title.Since I started creating French sites too, it's now an options. The theme will have to be  translated in the desired language first.
• Added [analyticscode] so that you add your own site analytic code.
• You can now see when you last Generated a blog.
• robots.txt now support Sitemap: [siteurl]sitemap.xml to make MSB more search engine crawler friendly
• Added money related tags that could be used in a custom theme like PayPal and AlertPay email, CB id ....
• Added Keyword categories and a theme example. It's similar to "tags" in WP. It's not there by default in the included themes.
• For the MSB eBay Plugin, I added FR for eBay France.
• Added Pingler.com in the ping services.
• Added a quick save back.

The documentation will need to be redone and I'm considering/testing other options.

For now, the price is still $7 but I thinking of increasing the price soon considering the time/work goes into MSB.

Go download MyStarterBlog 1.7 now!
