With the ability to . . . → Read More: Action Affiliate Software presale]]> I have coded a new script and plugin for WordPress. Action Affiliate is officially ready for the market.

With the Action Affiliate script, it is a stand alone site. It provides you the ability to add content to keep your site from being deemed as a thin affiliate site within the search engines. With the ability to pull listings from three separate networks (Amazon, CJ, and eBay), you can provide your site’s visitors with a comparison of prices of products from these networks while never having to login to your affiliate networks and search for adds.

By providing your visitor with a good review, article, or other useful content describing a product, you can literally have them ready to buy the product. That’s where Action Affiliate comes in. At the end of the article, there will be listings showing products that match your keywords. They click through, by the product, and you earn money.

With the stand-alone version, I have provided you with every tool known to man to get high SEO rank. This is a php script but it allows you to have seo friendly url’s, comes complete with an XML sitemap creator, and allows for imaging uploads. It also includes a user friendly admin section that gives you a super easy to use WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor that automatically formats your typing into html (no need to know how to program).

The WordPress edition works with the same three affiliate networks. If you already love WordPress (like my wife), this is the best alternative for you. Let’s say you have had luck writing blog posts about yoga mats and have made a decent amount of commission from the posts but you have to constantly login to your affiliate networks, get the links for the products and images, and then play the copy-paste routine. You have wasted 10-15 minutes of your time getting the ads and pasting them in.

With Action Affiliate, you will never have to search for links again. Action Affiliate for WordPress is based on shortcode so all you would have to do is enter the following text into your post:

Both versions of Action Affiliate also include jump links that go through a link on your site, then redirects to your advertiser’s site. This keeps those pesky anti-virus programs from blocking your tracking cookie and puts the money in your pocket! (Hopefully you will see a spike in commission from this feature alone.)

A lot of time and effort has gone into this script and plugin to make sure that YOU WILL SUCCEED!

You can download the version that is right for you below before they go for sale on their own site! I have decided to let a limited number of copies sell on phpPig.org before selling them on phpAffiliateScript.com.

The versions that you get from phpPig.org are the Deluxe packages which means you may install them on as many sites as you own! How much does Action Affiliate cost? Previous versions of the script that didn’t include all of the features that I am giving you today has cost literally thousands of dollars. The lowest amount that I charged was $497. Today, I am giving you the opportunity to have the stand alone script for only $97. This $100 less than I will charge when I move it to http://phpAffiliateScript.com. The WordPress plugin is only $77. Again, it will sell for no less than $177 when I move it to the new site. Plus, I am giving you a 30-day, no hassle money back guarantee.

It works as simple as this….You add a post like you would in a blog. (Quality content gets the traffic). Before you submit the page, you enter a single keyword phrase. The keyword phrase is what is going to get the links from your selected affiliate programs.

If you want to use just cj, then you are able to turn off the other 2, and vice versa. I have included every tactic to make this the most search engine friendly script on the market.

I need 5 more testers.

The object is to eventually have a script that many people will find useful on their sites by allowing them to generate traffic from their articles as well as from their shop. In this post, I will discuss some of the code used to make the cart work, how it works, and how I will implement the code into my own script, which again is available for free download at The Collard.

One of the first things that I needed to do was create sessions. This will allow my users to create a unique session and only allow the products added to their cart during the visit from their machine. In the previous versions of the collard, their was no session variables defined so I set this up by editing the functions.php file of this script. If you are not using this script, you will need to create a functions.php page and add this function to that page.

<?php
function Session()
{
//This will generate an encrypted string and will set the cookie. It will also be used in the cookieId field in the
//cart
if(isset($_COOKIE["cartid"]))
{
return $_COOKIE["cartId"];
}
else
{
//No cookie was found. We will set the cookie and return the session ID
session_start();
setcookie("cartId",session_id(),time()+((3600*24)*30);
return session_id;
}
}
?>

This code has now created session ids and will return to that session id if visited again within the next 30 days. This allows the user to add products to a cart and if they decide to think about it, need to wait until payday, etc., the products are now in the shopping cart and will be available to them when they come back to complete the purchase.

Now to explain how I did this. I used the setcookie function to create the cookie on their machine. In order for this cookie to work for the next 30 days, I defined that by adding the time function to the string. There are 3600 seconds in every hour (60*60). I multiply that by 24 hours in a day and then by 30 days in a month. That sets the cookie to last exactly 30 days from the moment it was created.

It . . . → Read More: WordPress Server Migration Information]]> Thinking of moving your WordPress site from one server to another? Here are detailed instructions on how to do it via FTP. If you follow these instructions to the letter, you will not have any problems with the migration.

First things first, if you don’t have a good quality FTP client, I recommend to download Filezilla. It is open source, free, and the fastest FTP software that I have used to date.

So….You have FTP software and you are ready to go. You first download the entire folder of that the blog is in from your server to your local computer. Once it is downloaded to your local machine, you can either search through each file to find the server path (not recommended because this can literally take hours), or you can download a free application for your computer to do this for you. Simple Search and Replace allows you to choose a folder on your machine and it will search all files for specified text and replace it with whatever text you choose. You will need to search for your old server path and replace with new path. You can get the server paths from your hosting company.

Next, you will need to download your SQL database from phpMyAdmin. My recommendations for this is to login into phpMyAdmin and choose to save as a file. If your hosting company allows you can save as .gz but if not save as .zip instead of .sql. This will allow for a faster download to your computer.

If you don’t have .zip software, you can download 7 zip file manager for free. Again, it is open source and performs very well. I recommend it and use it myself. It allows you to unzip any format and works well.

Once the file is downloaded, unzip it and open it in a php editor. I say this because I use tsWebEditor because it is free and open source.

Once you have the .sql file open, you can select edit->find (or CTRL+F for the keyboard shortcut), and enter in the old server path and the new server path where the blog will be installed. If you are using tsWebEditor, be sure to select from start in the options box and then select replace all. Save this file but keep it open.

Login on your new hosting site and create a new database. Whenever it active, you need to login to the phpMyAdmin for that database and the easiest method to get the new database uploaded is to select SQL from the options and enter the new database in there. If you have a large database (5mb or larger), it is probably easiest to select part of the code from the sql file that you have open in tsWebEditor and use the cut/paste method of getting it into the database. You can import about 1500 lines per cut/paste this way.

Most hosting companies won’t allow a database larger than 1mb to be uploaded and this is why I suggest getting your new database uploaded using this method.

Once you have the entire database uploaded, there is one last file to edit with the details of your new server prior to uploading the folder to your new server. You will need to open wp-config.php in the root folder and edit the details of your database. Most of the time, your database location is localhost, though I know if you are moving to GoDaddy, the database location is actually a separate server from where your site will be uploaded. Be sure that this information is correct!

You are just about ready to upload this folder to the server now. Last thing to do is make sure that there is no .html files anywhere in the root of your folder. Sometimes, your old server will have 500.html, 501.html, etc. in the root of your server and these can actually cause problems with your new server being able to parse php. Simply delete these files. Also, if there is a file named error_log, delete it as well. It will server no purpose on your new server.

Once you have done this, upload the entire folder to your new server. Once you have completed the upload, it is now safe to point your domain to the new host. This typically can take up to 48 hours but is completed within a couple hours most of the time. Once you are on the new server, you are now safe to either delete the files from your old server or cancel the old hosting plan.

If you need help moving your wordpress site from one server to another, I can help you for only $47 and can have it done usually within 24 hours of payment.
