How and why to make a WordPress Review Site

All Affiliate Marketers should take a hard look at utilizing WordPress Review Websites.

Review sites offer the perfect opportunity to capture buyers who are in the process of buying. Visitors to review sites are generally in the final decision making process so your recommendations stand a very good chance of generating sales.

Some of the major benefits review websites offer affiliates are -

Free Content

Your content is already available on the vendors sites.

All the products details, benefits & specifications are listed on the vendors sales pages, although it is not recommended to copy the information verbatim it is simple process of taking the main features & benefits, & putting your own spin on them.

Remember you are reassuring the reader about a decision they want to make so your reviews should emphasize the products benefits. You can list the specifications but they should not be the primary focus of any review.

Website Design

Optimized WordPress review templates & blog plugins make creating the website easy.

On-site Optimization

Blogs almost SEO themselves if you have a relavent domain name & utilize the free SEO plugins
Your main keywords will undoubtedly be the products themselves, It is a simple process of including associated keywords within the reviews of your primary & secondary products. Visitor comments will keep your site fresh & frequently crawled by the search engines, make sure you set the comments to require your approval before they are posted.

If you haven’t considered review sites before I would suggest you think again, templates & plugins make development a breeze & content is already provided. You can also easily integrate review sites into any P.P.C. campaign. Your content should provide very good quality scores & subsequently give low keyword costs.

Whether you use Blog Review Plugins, or WordPress Review templates, an Affiliate review site is a good place to start.

The Best WordPress Plugins

If you’re one of the millions of WordPress users today, you’re probably thankful for the existence of plugins, those little chunks of code that enhance the functionalities of your blog. These plugins, however, aren’t just there to help you manage your blog. Plugins can improve your visitors’ experience of your site, and some of them are even made specifically to help you make money blogging.

The only drawback about plugins is the fact that there’s so many of them lying around the blogosphere, and not all of them are necessary to the success of your site. But how will you know which plugins are worth installing and which ones are better off left on the shelf? Here’s a list of winning WordPress plugins that can breathe new life into your blog!

1. Akismet A perennial favorite, Akismet is every WordPress blogger’s first line of defense against nefarious comment spam. This plugin effectively blocks bogus comments from infiltrating your comment box and clogging it up, making comment management an easier job for you.

2. All in One SEO Pack This tool raises your capacity to make money blogging by providing you with a whole suite of features that optimize your blog for search engines. The All in One SEO Pack takes the most significant page-ranking factors that affect your site’s search engine rankings, and lets you tweak with them to make your blog shine in search engine results.

3. WordPress 2.3 Related Posts Plugin Definitely a must-have, the WP 2.3 Related Posts Plugin ensures that each of your blog posts comes with a list of links to related posts. If you’re worried that your feed subscribers might not take advantage of this, then you can heave a sigh of relief. This plugin also posts the links of your related posts to your feed.

4. Lucia’s Linky Luv This tool does a great job of managing your comments, and is best known for its “dofollow” function. Essentially, this means that people who comment on your blog are automatically rewarded with backlinks, so that their blogs can benefit from your own sites’ page rank. However, it also enforces a “nofollow” rule on comments that are likely to be spam. Brilliant!

5. cformsII At long last, a plugin that handles all your contact forms for you. cformsII is a neat plugin that lets your readers establish contact with you safely and securely. It boasts of an impressive set of features, and is even shielded against spam.

6. Tell a Friend The Tell a Friend plugin by Social Twist goes beyond the functionalities of your old “Bookmark/Email This!” button. Its scope isn’t limited to social bookmarking sites and e-mail services. Instead, Tell a Friend gives your readers the option to share your posts through instant messaging, your social networks, your own blog, and even through your personal content management system.

7. Google (XML) Sitemaps Generator for WordPress This nifty plugin automatically creates a sitemap of your blog in XML format, which is widely supported among search engines, particularly Google, Ask, and MSN Search. So what’s the big deal about this? When provided with a sitemap that outlines each URL within the blog as well as their corresponding metatags, a search engine spider can crawl through your site better and come up with more relevant search results as far as your blog goes.

If you don’t have these plugins set up in your blog, don’t you think it’s time you installed them? Although a blog that’s managed well can definitely stand on its own, a set of effective plugins can give it an extra push towards larger and more substantial profit.
