Updates for the wordpress affiliate link cloaker plugin

Filed under: PHP and MySQL,Wordpress — Joe Brewer @ 6:02 pm

It’s been nearly a year since my last post, and many months since the plugin last had any updates. This post outlines the new features in version 1.00.03:

Removing data from the redirect log

The way that the plugin works out how many redirects there are for each address is by logging each redirect and counting the redirects on the link and address pages. One of the things that I didnt account for in the previous version was how to delete or reset this data. Now, when you uncheck the option “count redirects” on the link page and save the options, the entries from the log are removed. Re enabling this option will effectively reset the counter.

Case sensitive keyword/phrase searching

This is a feature that had been requested a little while ago. It enables keyword/phrase searching to be set to case insensitive – this means that the keyword “television” will find and replace “Television” (and other combinations of upper/lower case) in blog posts.

Redirects graph

Under the “count redirects” option on the links page there is now an option to show a traffic graph. Once the check box has been checked and saved, the graph will show at the bottom of the page. This shows the redirects for the current month.

Affiliate link cloaker WordPress plugin

Filed under: Internet,Uncategorized,Wordpress — Joe Brewer @ 4:50 pm

Affiliate link cloaker is a free WordPress plugin that can geo target cloaked affiliate links. This plugin has the capability to generate a link like http://www.brewsterware.com/recommends/amazon and have visitors from the USA click on the link and get sent to www.amazon.com, visitors from the UK sent to www.amazon.co.uk and so on.

In addition to this, these cloaked links can be automatically inserted into content. Keywords or phrases can be set to be changed to nofollowed links that open in a new window so that visitors are not taken away from your website.

Region detect wordpress plugin

Filed under: PHP and MySQL,Wordpress — Joe Brewer @ 2:57 pm

Region detect is a plugin for WordPress that detects the country that the current visitor is browsing from. It can display the country to the user; something like:

Hello visitor from %%COUNTRYNAME%%

This is done by using the codes %%COUNTRYCOD E%% and %%COUNTRYNAM E%% in your posts (take out the spaces).

The plugin makes the two character ISO 3166-1 country code and country name available to other plugins – just declare the global variables $rdISO3166_1 and $rdCountryName.

WordPress autoblogging plugin

Filed under: Caffinated Content,PHP and MySQL,Software,Wordpress — Joe Brewer @ 5:22 pm

So, further to my previous post I now have a fully functioning autoblogging plugin for wordpress based on all of requirements of using cron jobs and other bits.

It wasnt as easy as I initially thought it would be as I’ve had to pretty much touch every line of code in the software – I wonder if it would have been easier to write the plugin from scratch. Anyway if you want to try it out I am looking for beta testers for this software which I have named Expresso Content. Feel free to sign up and get this plugin for free – this offer wont last long.

%%COUNTRYCODE%% – %%COUNTRYNAME%%

Updates for Caffinated Content

Filed under: Caffinated Content,Internet,Wordpress — Tags: — Joe Brewer @ 6:40 pm

For those of you that use Caffinated Content you may be interested to heat that kansieo has decided to sell 19 copies of the source code to Caffinated Content – it was 20, but I’ve bought one.  Full details can be found here – In a nutshell kansieo is allowing 20 developers to take the source code, improve it, and update it.

What would you like to see in future releases ?  Here’s a list of mine:

  • Cron jobs for adding posts – a set number per day.
  • Cron jobs setup to add posts to different categories from specific sources.
  • Support for more sites to collect content from – maybe use a plugin architechture to add new sites.
  • The ability to poll for content to be posted from a specific folder.  A file in xml format could allow for wordpress post fields such as post date, title, content etc could be used appropriately in each post.
