Make Money On Your Blog With The aLinks Plugin

Here's an easy way to make money on your blog without much active effort. It's the aLinks WordPress plugin and it's definitely worth a look.

The aLinks plugin takes the words and phrases you commonly use on your blog and turns them into links and affiliate links - automatically.


The aLinks plugin can create links for many popular affiliate programs and can be expanded to handle all of them. It allows you to use links in your posts instead of banner ads - that no one pays attention to anyway. Just post like you normally do and aLinks will find the keywords and keyphrases and turn them into links. No more having to copy and paste your affiliate codes and URLs.

The latest version of aLinks (Version 1.0rc1) offers these new features:

• All new keyphrase module system allows for infinitely expandable support for all types of keyphrases.
• Improved outbound click tracking, with more data and prettier graphs!
• Import/Export your keyphrases and settings.
• Built in help.
• XML-RPC services.
  

Deeper Blog Keyphrases

If your traffic is anything like mine, then a good amount of it comes from Google and other search engine searches. And many times those people will read a post and just move on. They're not interested in blogs or in reading blogs regularly. They just want an answer to their queries.

But as a blogger, your goal should always be to bring people "deeper" into your blog. To show them that there's more valuable content for them. How do you do that? With the aLinks Deeper Blog module.

The Deeper Blog module will automatically create links in your post to other posts on your blog that have related content. For example, if you define the keyphrase "make money blogging" and use that phrase in a post, aLinks will automatically turn it into a link to your other blog posts that use the term "making money blogging".

As you can see, the aLilnks Deeper Blog module can really help you get more readers, more traffic, more page views and more clicks. And that means one thing...more money for you!

Steve Jobs Apologizes To iPhone Customers - Says iSorry!

The Apple iPhone iSorry

So what happens when you charge people $599 for the most advanced iPhone model, then unexpectedly slash the price by $200 in an effort to boost holiday sales? You have to say iSorry!

After receiving hundreds of email complaints, Apple CEO Steve Jobs wrote a letter acknowledging that they upset customers by cutting the price of the iPhone's 8-gigabyte model from $599 to $399, and apologized for disappointing them.

Apple also agreed to offer every iPhone customer who purchased an iPhone from Apple or AT&T, and who isn't receiving a rebate or any other consideration, a $100 store credit towards the purchase of any product at an Apple Retail Store or the Apple Online Store.

While this may not be the perfect solution, at least it's something of considerable value. And it goes to show that if you're not happy with something it's worth taking the time to contact the company to let them know how you feel. Remember, the squeaky wheel always gets the grease!

Revver Displays An Erect Penis On Their Homepage?

An erect penis on the Revver home page? I need say nothing more. Here's the screenshot of the Revver home page as it appeared this morning at 7:27 AM...


Keep in mind that this is the home page - prior to logging in - so everyone sees it, including young kids. What the hell are they thinking?! Is it just me or does this seem a little bit off...a little irresponsible. What are your thoughts?

Then again, perhaps it's just a thermometer. :P

Update: I just got an email from Revver explaining what had happened:

Aaron,

Apologies for that. The front page programmer didn't have access to the thumbnail/poster image selector when he posted the video. The image has now been changed.

Regards,
