A lot of internet marketers are using WordPress to build review sites now. But up to 70% affiliates are still apt to design HTML pages for review sites. What are advantages and disadvantages of these two ways to build review sites?
WP is more efficient than HTML pages. Normally you need almost a week to have a small review site up and running. What if you are not a good designer of html page? It takes more time than you think. What is worse, when you finish it, you think it looks ugly.
But if you are using WP, it takes no more than half day to complete all the work. You just need to find a good theme/template and some plug-ins for your website. You can have professional-looking review site up and running in minutes!
WordPress is more easy to manage the website content. You can control everything on the WP control panel such as text, pictures, audios, videos and so on. But if you are using HTML, it is really a pain in the neck to maintain your website. You have to redesign it over again!
WP is backed up by numerous powerful plug-ins. Whatever functions you want your website to have, you can easily find a plug-in to meet the requirement. You can add flash, java scripts to your WP review site by using plug-ins. But if you use HTML pages, you will have to write them by yourself.
WordPress Review Site is real review site! If you use HTML pages, your have to add reviews by yourself and the reviews seem to be not very effective to convert prospects to customers. Because the reviews come from you not the community. WordPress review site enable your visitors to leave comments and reviews, and add ratings to the products you are promoting. You get the real reviews from the community! You have the real reviews, you get a better conversion rate!
WordPress has more advantages in building review sites. You can click here to find out how to build WP review sites of high conversion rate! Or click here to find out what kind of review site themes/tempaltes are suitable for your niches.

There are lots of web site software tools out there but one of the very best is free and provides lots of excellent features and benefits especially if you are building affiliate websites. It’s called Wordpress and you can download it for free at www.Wordpress.org. Now being free is in itself not a massive advantage if you are serious about developing a long term affiliate strategy and want to have websites that you feel sure can be supported. The last thing you need are websites that go down and cannot be resurrected. However, Wordpress solves the critical support issue by having a fabulous user and developer community.
Now, letâs talk about some of the key benefits offered by Wordpress. The software itself can best be described as content management software (CMS) and some of the key benefits for affiliate marketers are as follows:
1. Easy to install especially if you have web hosting using Fantastico. If not, fear not, it really is simple. All you need is a web hosting account and a suitable domain name.
2. Easy to use and it has a great WYSWYG (what you see what you get) interface that converts your text into html. Just write your articles and simply enter into the article box.
3. Automatic archiving functionality so you donât need to use a sitemap. Your articles are stored automatically.
4. A wide variety of free themes so you can change and amend the look and feel of the web site to suit your affiliate promotions.
5. A wide range of plug-ins are available so you can further customize your Wordpress site. E.g. web stats, anti-spam tools, automatic related posts links etc.
6. Excellent backup and security features so you can ensure the stability of your web site.
7. RSS feeds are built in so you can update various news and blog sites when you add new content. This helps get your content indexed very, very quickly.
8. Ability to have other authors add content to your website remotely, as long as they can access the internet. This is a huge benefit.
9. You can create posts or pages of content, the choice is yours. No need to worry about formatting in html. All the work is done for you.
You can spend a great deal of money on website building software but like most things there is a learning curve and I have yet to see any that have the same breadth of features combined with a relatively simple learning curve. I use it for most of my affiliate websites and because I employ writers I can have them upload the content directly via their own login access details from the comfort of their own homes. Itâs a fantastic free software tool and not just for bloggers.
Go check it out today and start adding to your growing affiliate income.

Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock, you have probably heard something about the new microblogging platform, Twitter, and how Twitter has taken the online marketing world by storm. The phenomenon has even spawned a new lingo, with new your new tweeps (followers) tweeting (making posts) you and discussing the state of the Twitterverse (you get the idea here).
While Twitter is pretty easy to use, there’s an overwhelming amount of tools, plug-ins and applications being developed to support it. I ran across one blog that listed over 100. How can you determine which ones will best support you in your use of Twitter?
I’ve tried to sort though all of the junk, and come up with my 7 essential Twitter tools:
1. TwitterFox. This is actually a Firefox browser plug-in that permits you to keep up with your tweets and any direct (private) messages that come your way. Tweetdeck and Twhirl similarly help your manage your tweets and tweeps and have gotten rave reviews from users, but I prefer the simplicity of Twitterfox. All I have to do is check the Twitter logo in the lower right corner of any browser window to check my Tweets and to reply to any of them that I want.
2. TweetLater. The primary function of TweetLater.com is to permit die-hard Twitterers to stock up Tweets that can be scheduled to be posted over a period of time. However, the reason that I like it is that I can forward the emails about who is following me to my TweetLater email address, and my will automatically get a direct message from me. I just love it when I can automate my marketing tasks!
3. TwitterFeed. This service will enable you to feed your blog posts to your Twitter account. You can control the frequency with which Twitter displays your blog post, as well as the text used to preface your blog feed. I use “Blog update” to preface my posts.
4. TwitterSearch. This site offers a quick way to search what people are posting about particular topics or keywords in the twitterverse.
5. TweetBeep. This is the equivalent of Google Alerts for Twitter, which permits you to track mentions of your name, products, company, or anything else you want to track.
6. LoudTwitter. LoudTwitter is the bridge that posts your daily Tweets to your blog Your blog takes care about the archiving of your tweets along with your other posts, which give more context. After all, if you have a blog and a Twitter, your blog is probably the core place where you want to be found and tracked.
7. Png.fm. While technically not a Twitter tool, I quickly tired of manually updating my status settings at all of my social networking sites. So, I began using Ping.fm. When you update your status at Ping.fm, the service will automatically update your status on all of your social networking sites, like Twitter, Facebook, Plurk, Pownce, to name a few (there are 21 you can update). Depending on the number of networks you use, it will take you 10-50 minutes to connect your Ping.fm account to your various social network accounts. However, once everything is set up, you simply log into your Ping account, post your update (no more than 140 characters), and your status is automatically upgraded on all of your social networking profiles. I use this tool to post Tweets, but use Twitterfox to post my @ replies to my followers.
Even though Twitter initially seemed like a fad, it’s not going away. Use these tools to maximize your use of Twitter and enhance your social networking!

Oh Twitter how I love thee! Although you might not hear those exact words said very often online, you know it’s true when you login to your Twitter account or visit someone’s blog. With the emergence of WordPress plug-ins like “TwitThis” and the various twitter badges found on numerous blogs throughout the Internet, it is obvious people adore Twitter. Just what is it that makes this social networking site so lovable? Let’s find out.
The question posed by Twitter, “What are you doing?” has become almost as popular as AOL’s “You’ve got mail.” So much so that it has even caught the eye of offline news mediums such as USA Today, CNN, and ABC. This helps to make the application popular all on its own. Those who think Twitter is just a place for computer or Internet geeks can rest assured it’s nothing of the sort.
For many, Twitter is a way to interact with like-minded individuals. Whether one is a stay at home mom who craves adult conversation, an at home worker who misses the water cooler chit-chat from past jobs, or the business owner who wants to reach more of their target market, this form of social media fills a need. It makes it easier for people to connect with others in a way they might not have previously been able to.
The fact Twitter is easily accessible and even simpler to navigate makes it a favorite as well. Anyone can create a twitter account of their own with nothing more than a user name and a password. Once that’s done, it’s easy to customize your profile and begin following other tweeps, as those who use Twitter affectionately call one another. To follow what another person is doing, just visit their page and click the follow button. You’ve now been added as a follower and when you login to your account you will see their messages on your screen.
Want to use Twitter even when you’re not at home or don’t have access to your computer? No problem. Inside your account you can choose whether to have messages sent via cell phone or instant messenger programs as well. Just browse to your settings and choose the devices tab and in a few steps you’re good to go. This feature makes it possible to tweet on the go. This is perfect for those who travel frequently or while out and about come across something interesting or amusing that they’d like to share with their followers.
Twitter’s arrival has also lead to the creation of different platforms and applications to make it appealing to just about everyone. Popular applications include, Twitter Fox, Twhirl, TweetDeck, and TweetMyBlog. Twitter Fox and Twhirl give users who are prefer the instant messaging look and feel a way to use Twitter in somewhat the same manner. Twitter Fox is an extension for the Firefox browser and Twhirl is a desktop application.
TweetMyBlog is a way to automatically post updates from a user’s blog to Twitter. In order to use it all one needs is a Twitter account and an RSS feed from their blog. It will automatically posts a tweet using your account when your blog is updated.
Tweet Deck is another desktop application that allows for more organization of updates. Instead of posting all a users tweets one right after another, it allows the user to organize tweets into separate columns within the application. For those who have customers and friends on Twitter this is a great feature.

If you are interested in blogging to voice your opinion and have your world view promoted, then this product is not for you.
On the other hand if you want to find out how to make money with a blog, then this is a very good starting point.
Rob Benwell, the creator of Blogging to the Bank has made a lot of money through creating multiple blogs, not from specialising in one area.
The way he operates is as follows-
1. Research the web using keyword tools, Google and Clickbank to find where the hungry crowd and money is and give them what they want.
The fact that you have no interest in the niche is irrelevant..if you want to make money with a blog.
2. Use Wordpress to set up your blogs and make sure to choose a domain name that is optimized to get traffic
3. Install the plug ins that he recommends which will optimize your blog for humans and search engines
4. Write content or outsource it for the particular niche
5. Promote your blog through SEO and Web 2.0 methods and drive traffic to your blog
6. Sell Clickbank products and use Adsense from Google to monetize
7. Rinse and repeat..do it again and again and ramp up the successful niches and abandon the losers.
Blogging to the Bank 3.0 ebook is quite short..and to the point.
But if your goal is to make money with a blog then you won’t be bothered by this because the step by step instructions work on a need to know basis.
As with all Clickbank products there is the usual 60 day money back guarantee so if you have any problems or are not satisfied then you will get your money back, guaranteed by Clickbank.

When I first come across Rob Benwell’s Blogging to the Bank 2.0, I was pretty amazed that he is so young yet doing so well with his blogs. In fact, this young man has earned $34 000 every month from his blogs. That’s really a neat sum of money. I began to wonder if this guy really knows his stuffs or not. Hence, I went to do some research before deciding to buy this product or not.
I went through a couple of reviews on Blogging to the Bank 2.0. You can read some of the reviews which I found useful below. Since I didn’t buy Rob’s first edition of Blogging to the Bank, I don’t really have the confidence to buy this newer edition, at first. However, after looking through the reviews by various bloggers and buyers, I started to know that Rob’s first edition of Blogging to the Bank was a really bargain. He has disclosed various techniques which are useful and effective. In fact, there are quite number of people have mentioned that they are pleasant with the results ( i.e. they have made money). However, these techniques are soon became obsolete in this fast changing blogging arena.
After looking through a couple of reviews, I decided to buy the product, since it is not too expensive after all. If he can reveal a blueprint to allow us to earn tens of thousands a month, then what is that miserable sum of money which I pay him for it? After all, the ebook just costs me a couple of meals. It is the returns that matter. I have read through the ebook and find that there are a couple of parts which I particular like very much.
Firstly, I like the list of plug-ins which he has provided. This makes it so much easy for beginners in blogging. I used to go through the hassle of trying out which plug-ins are useful from those which are not. If I have the information when I first setup my blog, then I wouldn’t have to go through so much unnecessary trouble.
Next, he also mentioned how to research for the high-paying affiliate products. In this way, you will able to find a potentially profitable niche to earn you a nice sum of money from Adsense. This method which he mentioned is great, as you can find earn both from Adsense as well as the affiliate products. This is all possible when you are able to find those untapped niches.
Lastly, and this is the best part which I find, is that he teaches us how to make our blog most attractive to produce sticky traffic. He also talks about search engine optimization and even the best layout to place your affiliate banners and Adsense ads. Of course, he mentioned about new Web 2.0 methods like using Squidoo and Digg to attract more traffic and many more great stuffs.
Though the ebook provides really simple and effective stuffs, there are a couple of typing errors here and there. But if you are not so much of a perfectionist, then I must say that this author used simple to understand English and his instructions are easy to follow. Best of all, the methods work! Hence, if you are not have results as good as Rob Benwell’s, then I strongly believe that you will need to check out Blogging to the Bank 2.0 to know what he is doing.
If you are interested to earn real income with blogging, you may like to visit my Blogging to the Bank 2.0 for more information. Plus, I’m giving away a mystery free report at my website!
