I have established that the Datafeed Import Plugin for WordPress will work equally as well for Drop Shippers as it does for Affiliate Marketers.

Many Drop Shipping companies or networks provide Datafeeds in a similar way to affiliate networks. These datafeeds are in CSV, XML and RSS formats just like those that the datafeed plugin is designed to work with.

If you are a drop ship marketer, please do get in touch, we will give you a free copy of the plugin if you are willing to trial it in the drop ship environment.

It seems to me that Drop Shippers face the same task as affiliate marketers with a slightly differing end result. You need to create a website rapidly, without fuss and without having to code a website from scratch. In this way the WordPress platform is the most logical system to use. It allows you to quickly setup a fully functioning site, change how it looks and works and extend its functionality with plugins.

The Datafeed Import Plugin will then allow you to rapidly populate that WordPress site with data from your Drop Ship datafeed as long as that datafeed is in a well formed format (XML, CSV, Pipe, RSS).

This cuts down the time spent developing a site and frees up your time to market and sell your products and earn your commissions for your drop shipping.

The problem that it tackles is being faced with a WordPress site that for one reason or another has a poor category structure. This maybe because your blog has grown organically over the years and the category structure no-longer reflects the site you now have, you may have bought or taken over a site from someone else, or like us you maybe using Worpdress as a back end to an affiliate or ecommerce site where the raw data your are dealing with has poor categories.

We use WordPress for datafeed driven site using our other plugin the Datafeed import plugn for WordPress. Datafeeds are a great way to get masses of data into your site, however, the categorisation in datafeeds is often poor or simply reflects the merchants own website. This hardly ever suits what you want for your niche site so you are faced with the task of going through thousands of posts and re-categorising them.

This is where the category master plugin comes in. The plugin automates the process of adding posts to categories, it will work on both new posts as you publish or edit them or it can be run on the archive of your website. It can even to set to periodically ‘re-run’ on your site to ensure that the categories reflect what you require.

The plugin works by allowing you to create rules that it will follow, these rules are based around keywords or phrases that the plugin will look for in each post, if that keyword is found it will add that post to a specified category, a simple solution which saves a huge amount of time.

Here is a screenshot of some rules I have setup on one of my sites, you can see that the keywords have been setup to be added into the category of my choosing.

There are many reasons for your to improve the categorisation of your site, a major one is that it will improve the internal linking of your site which is of key importance, especially to Googles quality score, but it also allows search engine spiders and your users to easily find the content they are looking for.

As with all my software the Category master plugin for WordPress has its own website, take a look for more information and a live demo of how the plugin works.

5. Datafeed Import Plugin For WordPress Version 3.0 Released I am pleased to announce that I released the much awaited Version 3.0 of my Datafeed Import plugin late last night. This is the culmination...

Version 3.0 of the datafeed import plugin is packed with new features and improvements, this is a quick summary of those changes, but for a full list of the current plugins functionality please visit the plugins website

Supporting Custom Content in posts

The main new feature in Version 3.0 of the plugin is that the plugins automatic update engine has been rewritten, in the past this update engine updated the whole post created by the plugin, and although extremely useful for keeping your site up-to-date this meant that you could not add any custom content to any post. V3.0 handles those updates more intelligently, it identifies datafeed content and updates only that content, leaving the rest of the post unchanged.

This means that the Datafeed import plugin now overcomes the greatest problem with any datafeed driven website, that one of being peanilized for duplicate content. The plugin already went a good way to covering this issue with its ability to mix datafeed content with static control and allowing the user the flexibility to choose which fields they want to use from the datafeed.

The ability to add your own custom content to individual posts while maintaining the datafeed data means that you can add value to your site and rank well in the search engines. I believe that this makes my Datafeed Import plugin for WordPress the only SEO friendly Datafeed Import system on the market today, not only for WordPress but for all Datafeed Import scripts.

This functionality also allows you to use the plugin slightly differently. You can use it in your review site where the plugin only provides pricing and link information for example. You can use the filtering system to pick the product or products you require, make the plugin create a post with a link and a price and then add your own review of that product to the post. The plugin will then maintain the price and ensure that you always have the correct link for that post.

With this new functionality in mind I have added the facility to create draft posts rather than having them scheduled or published directly. This means that if you are using the plugin in your review site, you can write the reviews on the posts created by the plugin at your convenience and then publish those posts when you are ready. the plugin can still create published posts directly and also drip feed posts with its scheduled posting system as it always could.

Interface redesign and usability improvements

I have improved the layout of the interface and hidden away most of the less used features within an advanced section meaning that the interface is now clearer and easier to use. I have also introduced contextual menus to the template designer, where by you can right click your mouse and insert the field references to the template. I have also included a field on the WYSIWYG editor toolbar to help you build the references into the body of your posts template.

Rewrite of XML support

I have rewritten all the XML support within the plugin. It now supports feeds with deeper nested nodes, and handles XML more efficiently that it did in the past. This improves the plugins ability to import both XML and RSS feeds.

Performance improvements

A major improvement in version 3.0 are the improvements to the back end of the plugin to make it more efficient and improve performance. These are improvements that you can not see, but it is hoped that this will overcome some of the memory issues that some users have experienced especially with shared hosting. The work that the plugin does is very complex and inherently intensive, but there is still work to be done, and I will be working on these for future versions of the plugin.

New Website

I have also launched a new website to go with the new version of the plugin, this new website carries more tutorials and help files, step-by-step videos and integral support and customer login to allow you to get support and download the latest version of the plugin. Thate a look at the new website

Whats next at Digitalquill?

The work on the datafeed import plugin is by no means finished. Users of the plugin can now vote on what new features will be included in Version 3.1 of the plugin. This will mean that the plugin will be developed in-line with what the users want.

I am also looking at developing a stand alone version of the datafeed import script, this will be a system that can be used on non-wordpress sites. The ethos in its construction will be the same in that you will not need any detailed programming skills to use this script, but you will achieve the same functionality as you can with the WordPress Plugin.

In the immediate future, I am planning to spend some time getting a plugin I created some time ago ready for public release. I created my Category Master Plugin about 18 months ago due to a specific problem with datafeed marketing in that often the categorization within datafeeds is poor, thus I wanted a facility to be able to overcome this issue and move prost into categories without editing each post. I will post more about this new plugin in due course, but any datafeed marketer will find this new plugin very useful.

I thought I would write a slightly different article to my normal affiliate marketing related articles, have you ever said to yourself “I know about affiliate marketing, but are there any other sources of income I could tap into?”

It was a question I asked myself some time ago and a question that I am sure many others have asked. This article looks at Flipping websites and earning money from rapidly developing websites to sell to others, this can tie into your skills as an affiliate or online marketer and get you some extra income.

I have had some moderate success flipping websites with sales of anything between £200 and £5,000, so it can be done and can make decent money.
If you are just starting out, this article describes one method of rapidly creating websites that you can later flip for a profit.

What is Flipping?

Flipping is creating or buying a site with the specific intention of selling it on within a short period of time. Some people just flip domain names, buying domains from the after markets and then selling them on to other parties, hopefully at a profit.

Flipping a website can prove more profitable then simply flipping domain names as you can, with a little work, add value to that site more easily. The problem with flipping websites has always been that there is a certain cost involved with creating the site in the first place which is why many steer away from flipping sites and flip domains.

The Datafeed Import Plugin for WordPress allows you to cut down the cost of developing  a site and as such the potential for profit in flipping a website much more likely.

What is the datafeed Import Plugin for WordPress?

The datafeed import plugin for WordPress allows you to create a website based on WordPress in a matter of minutes. The power of WordPress means that you have a backbone to your site and are able to ad functionality through plugins, and you have the ultimate power to change the look and feel of your site through themes so you can make the site suit its subject very easily.

The power of the datafeed import plugin for WordPress allows you to create a site from content published on the web either from RSS feeds or affiliate (or other) Datafeeds.

10 steps to flipping a site for profit

Here are some simple steps to flipping a website using the datafeed import plugin for WordPress.

1. Domain name

The domain name is one of the most important aspects if you plan to flip a site for a profit. It is true to say that the domain name will hold value in its own right, but unless you are really going to get into the world of dommaining, then it is likely that you will have to settle for slightly les good domain names and add value to them in some other way like creating a site, promoting it and then flipping it. Even if the end user has different plans for that domain name that you have with your project, a history of use is of great importance, especially if that domain has some link backs and the website associated with it holds some page rank.

You need to select a Domain name that has good keywords, a good keyword ideally a single word but also can be a short phrase of two to three words, where the exact search term has a high search volume.

You can find the search volume for searches for your phrase on Google using Googles Keyword tool, enter your keyword or phrase and then search, you will also need to change it to show exact search term volume, using the tick box on the left of the interface

This will then tell you a Global and a Local Search volume. Local for me is the UK so if I cam buying a UK domain this is what I pay attention to. It depends on what domain TLD I am buying as to what search volume I want for a domain, for me in the UK I have the choice of co.uk, org.uk and me.uk. I tend to go for the following local search volume for each of those domains:

co.uk  1,000+
org.uk 10,000+
me.uk  100,000+

This reflects the research that shows Googles opinion of each of these TLDs with only a few me.uk domains ranking highly.

You also have the option of using the domain after market. This means buying domain names from people who already own then, Sedo, DomainLore and Acron Domains are all good places to start, although it can get expensive and add costs to your project, it could also mean that you can secure a better domain with a better intrinsic value so you are starting off from a stronger platform.

Domains that have already been used may also have had some of the work done for you, if they have had a website on them previously then they may already have link backs, some history with Google and indeed the very fact that they are aged domain names gives them an added bonus.

Once you have secured the domain name you want, you are ready to start adding value to it

2. Setup WordPress

I use WordPress as the platform for most of my sites, weather I am going to use the datafeed import plugin for WordPress of I am going to build a simple site.

The reason I do this is that I know that WordPress has a solid backbone, it has many of the features I need already built in so I do not have to start coding things, better still it is free!

WordPress Themes allow you to change the way your site looks so that you can make it suit your chosen subject.

3. Install Analytics

Google analytics is critical for any site for you to monitor its performance, traffic sources, keyword used on searches to get to your site and a whole realm of useful features.

It is all the more important for flipping website as we are going to need to prove the visitor rates for our site, indeed, Flippa which I will describe shortly links into Google Analytics to extract those visitor stats to be shown on the listing of your site that you are selling.

This makes everything transparent for the buyer and seller, it is no-good you going out and buying 10,000 links for $20 as these links will be junk at best and spam at worst, yes they will generate a whole bunch of traffic, but useless traffic and the buyer will see that in the stats from Google Analytics.

4. Find some datafeeds

You can find datafeed of all sorts all over the place, the main ones that I use are affiliate datafeeds, try:

Tradedoubler
AffiliateWindow
Commission Junction

However, the plugin will take any CSV, XML or RSS feed, and as such you can syndicate content from many sources.

I would advise affiliate datafeeds as this gives you the opportunity to earn some commission, a site that is already earning commission no-matter how small will always sell better than one without any income, but be prepared to prove that income to potential buyers.

5. Buy A license for the datafeed import plugin

Although the datafeed plugin comes with an unlimited license this is for the owner of that site, if you are flipping sites you will need to get a license for each of those sites. You can buy bulk licenses up front at a substantially reduced rate, please contact me for more details.

6. Create your datafeed site

Create your site using the datafeed import plugin, I have tutorials covering this subject on my site so I will not go through it again, but once you have it created and all the posts created in your site, it is critical that you add some unique content to your site, it is this that adds value. There is no shortcut to this, thus far, I have given you hints and tips of doing things as quickly as possible and automating where you can, but the writing of the content has no such shortcut. It is time consuming and takes a great deal of effort, but then you did not expect to be getting money for nothing did you?

Remember that content can be more than just words, images, videos or audio can be added to all add value to your site. Make sure that this content is useful to people and contributes something to the community and to the subject you are working with, otherwise why would someone give it a monetary value?

7. Promote and build some links

Promotion of your site is where you are going add the most value, the content we talked about above will help you in this regard, after all promoting something that is useful is far easier than promoting nothing.

There are many ways in which you can promote your site, it is all about building links and natural traffic. I have covered this in detail elsewhere, but briefly here is a list of things that you should be doing:

• Twitter – Sign up for a twitter account specially for this site, you can add value to the site by including this in the sale. Tweet about your site, new products you have added, new reviews added and extend this into following news in your subject, for example if your sites is about Car Insurance, tweet about the news that insurance premiums are set to go up. Build up a follower list, which will also have value to your potential buyer.
• Blog Comments – Posting on other peoples blogs is a good way of generating links and traffic, do not just post a Spammy link, engage in the discussion, post something useful and you link will be followed.
• Forum posts – The same as blog comments, engage in the discussion, become known as a good poster, put your link in your signature.
• Blog posts – sign up for a WordPress.com or a blogger.com blog and blog about your projects, what’s new, new products, new reviews etc.
• Ask for link backs – email other webmasters and ask for link backs, you will get knocked back 99 times out of 100 but you may get that one gem link that will make it all worthwhile.

There are 100′s of ways in which you can promote your new site, make sure you stay on the right side of spamming, and I would not advise paying for any link building services as most of them are simply a con, any that are not will cost you a great deal of money, and they are only going to do the legwork that you can do yourself.

8. List site on Flippa

Flippa is the biggest and most well known website for flipping or just selling websites and domain names. You could also use Sedo and there are many others. You do have to pay a small fee with Flippa, but as this is your biggest shop window I would advise that this is a price well worth paying.

Some people also flip websites via Ebay, I have personally never done this as I think it is hard to make your site stand out from all the poor quality sites they get listed on there, but you may be able to make it work. I would be interested to hear from anyone that has had success flipping websites using Ebay. The advantage of Ebay of course is that you could have the sale and transfer of the site almost completely automated using something like  idev-DigiEbay 3.0 which i do use for other purposes and is very good for selling digital goods on Ebay.

9. Sell Your site

Selling your site will not be a case of leaving your listing and then collecting the money. You will need to be on hand to answer questions of potential buyers.

You should also not forget to continue to market your site while it is listed for sale, the last thing you want is for there to be a drop off in visitor numbers which could potentially damage the sale price.

Be open, honest and friendly, talk to potential buyers, find out what they think and work with them to get them to a position to make you an offer.

10. Spend your money!

Once you have sold your site, enjoy yourself, and start thinking of your next project! Why not tell me about your success stories, perhaps, what you learn will help others.

Be aware that I have restricted the demo to stop people uploading 100′s of Mbs of Datafeeds to it and it will also reset on the hour every hour to keep it clean, but this should allow you to see how it works and see if it suits your requirements.

I will be releasing a new version of the plugin in about a week, this will of course be included in the free updates you get with any purchase of the plugin. Just as a preview of what is comming the plugin will handle custom content better! Great for those who want to write their own content along with the datafeed content.

I am now working on getting the Live demo for the Amazon import plugin for wordpress back up and running, I hope to achieve this later today.

To take advantage of this fantastic offer go to the Datafeed Import Plugin for WordPress site and use the code ‘April2011‘ when asked.

The datafeed import plugin for WordPress allows you to create websites from affiliate or other datafeeds in a matter of minutes. The Plugin also allows you to create fully automated affiliate blogs that once setup will automatically keep themselves up-to-date and drip feed content into your site.

The wordpress plugin is now a mature product. We have been developing it for the last 3 years and during that time we have released many new version of the WordPress plugin. When you buy the datafeed import plugin for WordPress you also get free upgrades to all future versions of the plugin so you will never be left behind! This combined with version 3 of wordpress being released and WordPress it’s self coming of age, really provides the perfect solution for affiliate marketers.

We are also working on some exciting new features that will make the process of creating your sites even easier. You will be able to copy your settings from one site to another meaning that rapidly building many sites is made even quicker. Affiliate marketers who want to be able to create a number of sites in a matter of minutes will love this new feature in the plugin as it will allow them to concentrate on their Affiliate marketing rather than creating websites.

Following some concerns about the reliability of affiliate datafeeds and using remote images on your site which may be removed by the merchant we are working on another plugin that work with the datafeed import plugin for WordPress and the Amazon import plugin for WordPress and create a local copy of all the images you use in your posts. This pluign will then update the links to those images in all your wordpress posts giving you the control over those images.

We have been looking at integrating this functionality within the Datafeed import and amazon import plugins for WordPress, but the time taken to copy those images can be considerable so we have taken the decision to create a separate plugin which will be free of charge for users of either the Datafeed import plugin for wordpress or the Amazon import plugin for wordpress.

We are also looking at releasing our Ebay Import Plugin for WordPress in the very near future. This plugin works in the same way as the datafeed import plugin and the Amazon import plugin for WordPress, allowing you to integrate Ebay listings into your WordPress website.

The latest release contains some of the features we have been holding back for our next major release, we still have some in reserve as we have not finished testing them, but you will be please to know that all the features we are working on are designed to help you make your site more search engine friendly.

In the latest release of our Datafeed Import Plugin for WordPress we have included support for the All In One SEO plugin. This means that you can either use data from your datafeed or your own custom text to complete the All In One SEO plugins fields. This allows you to make WordPress more SEO friendly and as such your site will benefit. We advise all users to install the All In One SEO plugin and take advantage of this new feature.

We have also included several minor bug fixes, the filtering system should now be fully working, in the last release some filtering did not work correctly, but we believe that this release solves those problems.

We have also removed the requirement for PEAR as this seemed to cause issues for some web hosts. It now uses pure PHP with no libraries to manage the datafeed manipulation.

If you are a current customer please do download your free update to this plugin as soon as possible.

You can get a copy of the datafeed import plugin for WordPress and more details about the plugin by visiting the plugins website.

We are working on the release for our Amazon import Plugin for WordPress and will release that in the next few hours.

This is a major release, with significant work gone into methods of posting the datafeeds on slower servers which suffered from timeouts under certain circumstances. The plugin now employs a slow posting system with user feedback on its progress through the datafeed file.

I have also re-written the XML support for the plugin, and it now can import XML and RSS into WordPress using the same methods as it did for the CSV files.

This is a significant step forward for the WordPress plugin and increases what the plugin can be used for, as it can now be used as an RSS aggregator plugin for WordPress as well as a datafeed import.

I have also fixed some bugs introduced with the URL masking system which caused problems for special characters in the URLs and in some cases a character encoding issue with some datafeeds and the WordPress post body.

I also have the next version of the plugin nearly ready, this includes support for the ‘All in one SEO’ plugin for WordPress. I have some testing to do on that version and also I have a request that the URL masking be made optional which I am looking into doing.

All versions of the plugin since version 2.0 have been WordPress 3.0 compatible.

I hope to have the next version ready within the next week.

You can view more details about the plugin at the WordPress Datafeed Import Plugins Website

Please keep tuned for an update about the Amazon Import Plugin for WordPress.

If you are interested in more information about the plugin please go to the Datafeed Import Plugins website.

I have learnt one lesson from this release, that is never do a release when it is late in the day and you are tired. I accidentally uploaded the wrong file to the server and invited thousands of users to come and download it! Soon realised and rectified the mistake but still lesson learned!

You may also be interested to know that I am about to launch a new version of the Amazon Import Plugin for WordPress, this has been a major re-write of the plugin which is now packed with features and functionality.

I am also putting out another call for beta testers for my WordPress Advertiser plugin, if you feel that you can help please do contact me either by email or post a comment on this blog.

As you will be aware I do affiliate marketing in my ‘spare’ time, one of the main issues with affiliate marketing and really the holy grail of affiliate marketing is the ability to rapidly create sites for your to be able to market other peoples products.

Until recently, I have been hand coding sites, and making custom designs for each, this took a great deal of time, time which I did not have, and time which I tended to get bogged down with making my affiliate projects stall before they were really launched.

I decided that there must be a solution so I employed my programming skills into developing a solution for wordpress whcih I could then use as a framework for all my affiliate sites.

The first plugin that I created was the Datafeed import plugin. Initially it was very basic, the ability to have oneaffiliate  datafeed and one template, the plugin then created a post in wordpress for each row in the affiliate datafeed.  Perfect, it allowed me to rapidly create sites in a matter of minutes rather than days.

I could also use other WordPress plugins such as the All in one SEO plugin and use the WordPress themes to make the sites suitable for the products which they contained. They were also fully search-able, menus and categories automatically created, functionality given by WordPress.

I then gave the plugin to another affiliate marketer friend who also found that it was a very useful tool so I decided to put the plugin out on to the open market or people to buy.

Since then I have made the plugin far more advanced, it can handle many datafeeds, each with their own templates, custom fields, advanced filters and automatic updates.

I have created a website for the datafeed import plugin where you can find more details

I then wanted to be able to easily import Amazon products as they are always very high converting affiliate products, so I have created a similar plugin that allows you to import and create posts from Amazon products based on a search term. This works very well and again as with the datafeed plugin I am working on more and more advanced versions of the plugin, the next of which is due to be released in the coming weeks.

Again I have created a website for the Amazon Import Plugin so if you are interested have a look.
