It’s been over 2 months since I’ve wrote any posts for the blog series and honestly, this might be the last one. There is tons of info online laid out beautifully on how to do stuff with Wordpress, so to avoid re-inventing the wheel I will likely stop with this post.

These review sites convert like crazy and using Wordpress and a slick plugin by Dan Grossman makes them pretty simple to setup. It’s not like a review site where you give your opinion about 3-5 similar products and create a Buy Now link for each one (which is also a high converting type of site).

It’s very important, as I’m sure you’re aware, to keep an eye on the stats for your site or blog. You can find out things like; [...]

John Chow did a review the other day on JohnChow.com for MaxBlogPress. They paid $500 for the review so they can promote their new plugin that will easily add a FavIcon to your WordPress Blog. Here’s the review: MaxBlogPress Makes Favicons Even Easier

The question stated that the icons were needed to help the posts look less “blah”. Well, the ones I use are simple text links so they [...]
