Hey Guys, Here’sÂ aÂ slick little plugin that is selling for 10.00. It keyword auto-linking withÂ contextual pop-ups that can contain html, video, audio. It looks very sharp. It’s similar to wptraffictools in the sense that it is an auto-linking device, but it makes use of very pretty jquery popups for some extra visual aid. It’s Â selling here [...]

[WPTT] Backup & Import Link Profiles | Link Masking for Spiders Only | New Quality Control Measures

Heya,

Prepared for you, the latest update to WP Traffic Tools:

Backup & Import Link Profiles

Now we can export our created link profiles in XML format. This allows for backups of work as well as porting all of our masked & unmasked link profiles into a new blog. This was a top requested feature. Hope you enjoy.

Control Cookie Lifespan for Popup-Popunder Profiles

This new addition will let you custom define the lifespan of the cookie that tells WPTT that we have already promoted a popup to a visitor. We can make this lifespan shorter to throw popups at our repeat traffic more frequently, or we can make much larger to ensure we only present a popup to a visitor rarely.

Mask Links Globally only for Spiders

This was a unique request by a customer. If we want to, we can now leave all links uncloaked for human visitors and have them cloaked for spiders. We use special browser feature detections to determine what should constitute a true human as well as useragent filtering.

New Options to Help Throttle Cookie Dropping/Stuffing

WPTT now keeps track of who sets it’s cookies with. If we like, we can set cookies to drop only one time every x days for each visitor. This will allow us to keep our affiliate click-thru statistics more realistic. We have also added in measures to prevent cookie stuffing for spiders/non-human visitors.

Other Miscellaneous Updates

Ad placements for sub-categories

Now when designing Cateogry Ad Targeting profiles, a sub-category will automatically take on any profiles created on it’s parent category. So if you have many sub-categories for one parent category and would like to target all those subs without having to create a profile on each one… well we can just create one on the parent. If there is one detected for that sub-category specifically then it will overwrite the parent category’s profile.

Ability to deliver cookies if the referrer contains…

We now have the ability to drop/stuff cookies based on keywords discovered either in the content (title or body) or the referring URL. Just like keyword-based-ad-placements, you can choose how you want WPTT to search.

For the search engines: Stuff cookie by referrer. Drop cookie keywords detected in referrer.

Global Link Masking now preserves the following elements:

style,class,title,onclick,rel

Alright space sailors. That’s all. Think of my health and wish me many kind women to help keep my diet.

[BS] Panda and Autoblogging Models Google Panda Explained

Hey Guys,

In this article I want to point out how your business models may or may not be threatened by the changing ways of Google Panda. If you look at today’s changes that Panda has caused, please know that it’s not all said and done. Panda is machine learning in action, and it’s a living algorithm designed to determine likable qualities and award them, while also targeting dislikable qualities and awarding them as well.

If you are fighting for longevity, attention to detail and professionalism will be your friend. Going the extra mile with the aesthetics of your site will help you. It has truly always been this way; Panda is just forcing us to honor it quicker.

It’s a reminder to you wolves to make better sheep costumes. That’s a bad metaphor but it gets the point across. Rather I should say: It’s telling you to dress in the day’s high-fashion if you want to stand out at the party…

How you should go about doing this? I cannot advise. I fear my own advice because most of you guys are older and better than me when it comes to marketing. But it doesn’t take a seasoned expert to know that times are changing (for the better overall), so we need to know how to morph ourselves to best go with the flow.

Please if you have the time, take a moment to watch this well prepared explanation of Google Panda. It’s a video so if you are receiving this article via email you’ll want to open it externally to see the embed:

[BS] Potential Harmful Bug May Need Your Attention

Heya

If you have updated within the last week and use the RSS module, there is the possibility that your duplicate content check was disabled. In order to correct this annoying mistake on my end I’ve added in a sql query to auto-enable duplicate content checks on all your RSS campaigns. If you are running a campaign that needs this duplicate content check disabled then please return to your campaign settings and re-disable.

There’s more. Because of this bug a good amount of duplicate content could have been published onto your blog without your knowing. It did to mine and I assume it will have to yours as well (If you have been running the latest version this past week.)

In order to correct this mistake I’ve added in a Duplicate Content Cleaner Tool to our Toolbox. You can find it in Toolbox->Wordpress Tools->Duplicate Content Removed. This feature will search all your posts for identical titles, and delete any extras it finds.

Here’s a video of the the cleanup tool in action:

[WPTT] Unblockable Popunder Profiles & New Training Videos

About two days ago I secretly release a major update to WP Traffic Tools adding the following new features:

Popunder Profiles

We now have a popup profiles section that allows us to quickly add src based unblockable popups and unblockable popunders. The idea of having unblockable popups is exciting to me because it is an affective way to promote an offer without interrupting the user’s browsing experience.

As soon as a user clicks anywhere on the screen a popup will occur in a new browser and then arrange itself behind the current active browser so the user does not have to pause in their reading experience.

I personally enjoy receiving popunder advertisements because It’s always interesting to see where this extra browser came from, and wonder how long it’s been chilling there behind the scenes.

We also offer traditional blockable popups and popunders as well as one jquery popup. We’ll considering improving (adding more options to) the jQuery popups as time passes.

Completely Restructured Interface

WP Traffic Tools spans a couple of different areas and applications now. I thought it best to re-organize each module and provide better internal documentation. Everything looks a whole lot better now.

Added a couple of user requested features

Ability to add site based exceptions to global link masking
Ability to disable redirection profile if no referring URL is detected.
Added ‘exclude these ids’ section to Top Searches, as well as fixed some bugs.
Added redirect delay option to redirection profiles.

New Training Videos

Due to all the new improvements since I first started selling WP Traffic Tools, I’ve had to redo all my videos. What a pain! Anyway this time I used a recorded that lets me go over 5 minute intervals so we have about an hours worth of training and explanation. Here’s a link to the 7 Part Video Playlist: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLF11FBA80571B2BC3

Warning: the audio is annoyingly unsmooth but if you turn your volume down it becomes less annoying. Hope this helps!

More Information

For those of you who downloaded the latest version early, I’m sad to report that the auto-update feature is broken. In order to update you will have to run /wp-content/plugins/wp-traffic-tools/update.php manually in your browser.

[BS] Create categories from Keyword List, Enable / Disable Auto Tagging of Posts for each campaign.

We’ve two new features added into BlogSense along with some inner code improvements. We’ve added the ability to use a keyword list to create WordPress categories. This used to be a BlogSense feature until it was discontinued about a year ago. Good to have it back!

The other feature is the ability to enable/disable the automatic tagging system on a campaign level. Before we had a singular global setting to manage our auto-tagging strategies. Now we can better control tag behavior.

What can we do with autotagging?

Disable auto-tagging entirely.
Use Yahoo Terms Extraction to create tags from the post content.
Use parts of the title as tags.
Use tags already found within the WordPress database, selected at random.
Use a custom tag list pasted into a textarea.
Control the amount of tags to use for each post.

We can also use CSV tokens to create tags for our CSV Importing module.

Here’s a video demonstrating the latest updates
