Turn WordPress Into a Powerful Review Site Engine - WickedFire - Affiliate Marketing Forum

WP Review Site Plugin

The best super-affiliates are raking in tens of thousands of dollars a month running review sites. They’re the perfect affiliate marketing website — fresh content, that you don’t have to write (your visitors do the work for you!), that convinces buyers to pull out their wallets — generating commissions for you!

Our own review site, Award Winning Hosts has pulled in thousands of dollars in affiliate commissions just by letting people review their web hosting companies. Each time someone clicks a link to a host reviewed on the site and signs up, we get paid $100, $150 or more! And this is not luck — do a Google search for web hosts and you’ll see that not only are the top advertisers (paying $5-20 per click) review sites, but the top natural results as well. Search engines love user reviews — just think about how many top results Amazon.com has with all the product reviews they’ve collected.

With WP Review Site, you can turn WordPress into a powerful review site engine, adding review and rating capabilities to your own website or blog! Run an affiliate site just like Award Winning Hosts, add the ability for commentors to rate your posts, or add ratings and reviews to just a section of your existing site. This plugin is flexible enough to do any of that and more.

WP Review Site, formerly “WP DG Review Site Plugin”, has already been downloaded hundreds of times, and powers many successful review sites. But the all-new version 2.0 has just been released, making it easier to use, and more powerful than ever.

Ready to start making money? You can proceed directly to the Buy Now page to purchase the plugin and all the extras it comes with. Or, you can read more about the features this plugin will add to your WordPress-powered site.

Plus, our new version 2.0 includes bonus affiliate marketing tools! These are the same abilities you’d have to pay $67 for elsewhere, adding affiliate link management to your WordPress administration panels. Just specify keywords and WP Review Site will turn them into affiliate links whenever they appear in your posts or pages.

Instantly download your copy of WP Review Site with our bonus affiliate marketing tools for just one payment of $97. It'll pay for itself with your first commission!

yoink*gasp* · 08-12-2008, 09:58 AM

Does this only work with one theme, or can it be used on any theme?

Red_Virus · 08-12-2008, 10:16 AM

yes same questions, Can I use it on my custom themes ? or other free wordpress themes ?

3wdl · 08-12-2008, 10:43 AM

Nice, good that it comes with a theme as that's what was missing from the old version off the plugin.

AdExhibitJason · 08-12-2008, 04:33 PM

This is perfect for a site I was thinking about doing.

A few questions though.

Can it be added to any theme?

Is it possible to make it do reviews on actual people?

When building the site can you make sub sections for the reviews. Like if I had a hosting review site. Could I make sections for hosts that offer VPS, Cheap Hosting, Dedicated Hosting and so on.

Also can there be sub reviews from the reviews like I set up a review and then more people can write the reviews. Comment on the reviews. Add a review for something on that site.

Dan Grossman · 08-12-2008, 04:38 PM

Of course it can be used with any theme. The documentation is all on the site as well.

What do you mean about reviews on actual people? If your post or page is about an actual person, and you put the text above your comment/rating box "review this person", then sure.

Lets say I have a site and that site has employees. Is there like a way that site can have subcatagories reviewing the employees that work for it?

I edited my last post with some more questions not sure you caught them

Dan Grossman · 08-12-2008, 04:59 PM

Jason, have you worked with WordPress before? As a plugin, this adds functionality to WordPress, but it doesn't take any away.

For your "subcategories of reviews" question, you would create WP categories. When you post about a shared host, you tick off the shared hosting category. When you post about a dedicated host, you tick off the dedicated category. Most themes, including the sample theme, show a list of categories in the sidebar, but you can put them anywhere in the theme.

About reviewing employees, make a post or a page about each employee. This plugin adds the ability to collect ratings with the comment form, and the comment form can appear on any post or page of WordPress.

Take a moment to think about what people have done with WordPress. It's not just a blogging engine, it's a full CMS. I've created dynamic content websites (Website Goodies - Webmaster Resources, Articles and Website Tools), blogs (Dan Grossman » Building web services one day at a time) and ecommerce sites (WordPress Review Site Plugin » Turn WordPress Into a Powerful Review Site Engine) with WordPress. It can do all of that without extra plugins. So on top of all that, with WP Review Site, you can now turn the comment box into a review area with star ratings, display average ratings on any post or page, and sort post lists by weighted rank... plus the bonus tools.

agua · 08-12-2008, 08:41 PM

What features makes your plugin stand out from the other options available?

Dan Grossman · 08-12-2008, 08:54 PM

I don't know of any other plugin that adds multi-dimensional star ratings to comments and works with WP 2.5+, so what are you comparing to?

trigatch4 · 08-12-2008, 08:56 PM

Can any respected members here vouch for the product? If so, I might be willing to give it a whirl. If not, how about throwing up a few free copies to established members to review? I'd volunteer... but would be happy with insight from somebody here whose opinion I trust.

Lemme know!

radio · 08-12-2008, 09:24 PM

product looks legit. but at $299 for multi-site, that seems very steep. especially when you compare what you get at phpBay Pro for $79 (comparison of one premium paid plugin vs. another - not on comparable features). $99 for multi-site would seem like a better price. but no lying - that review site he posted is smoking!

Here's something to compare it to:
this plugin is based off of dan's original to what he's offering now:
Sourcebench - the web developer’s workplace » Wordpress review plugin (SB_Review)

Dan, if you're looking for someone to do a comparisson between the free options and your paid version, I'd certainly take a look w/ a complimentary multi-site license.

AdExhibitJason · 08-12-2008, 10:14 PM

I would like to see someone get a review going on this.

I like the idea of it and just thinking about it for few minutes have come up with tons of things I would be able to do with it.

Dan Grossman · 08-12-2008, 10:36 PM

SB Review is based on 1.1.1 of this plugin, which is almost 2 years old and written against WP 1.x. Even if you can get it to work, it's just too buggy. For example, when spammers fill in a comment form with no ratings, their ratings count against the averages even when you delete the spam. 2.0 fixed all the bugs and added real administration screens, the easier setup, included theme that has it preinstalled, the ability to sort posts by weighted average, etc.

Review copies: I'm going to send download links to radio and trigatch4 since they've volunteered. Give it a try and let 'em know what you think. The concept of the plugin is simple, but it makes some really effective sites

JamesH · 08-12-2008, 10:38 PM

A review from a few respectable members (I'll volunteer as well) would be great. I've been looking around for some software like this for WP.

Red_Virus · 08-12-2008, 11:05 PM

yes a review from a respectable member would be great, I think you must be giving out some free copies, what I like is that any theme can be customized and used with this plugin .

Dan Grossman · 08-12-2008, 11:10 PM

I've already sent two review copies out, let's give 'em a chance to download it and try

BTW, if anyone wants to give it a try but doesn't want to jump on the multi site license right away... if you buy the single site license and decide to upgrade, I'll refund you the difference, just PM me.

trigatch4 · 08-12-2008, 11:13 PM

I've just downloaded my review copy and will report back as soon as I've given it a test drive. Check back tomorrow as I don't want to jump to any conclusions.

radio · 08-12-2008, 11:17 PM

will get some feedback up tomorrow. i won't waste my time on comparing to the sb plugin - but it might be good to list all the improvements over that plugin like you alluded to above. clearly your plugin has a much more visually interesting rating system (looks slick, nice user interface, good layout) than sb. i was thinking about using sb and improving the visual elements - but if there's backend stuff (i.e. spam rating errors) you should lay that out in a follow up post. i'm still thinking the price is a bit high, but with the commissions that hosting companies pay, it can be earned back pretty quick. like i said, more tomorrow (and i'll even use paragraphs).

riddarhusetgal · 08-13-2008, 12:47 AM

do you have something in the works to do directory websites with drop down menu, etc. (as in search by location, subject matter, etc). this looks very interesting this software). Check out my friend's site (how it looks) and tell me if it can do some of these things:
TheWebHostingHero.com - Web Hosting Reviews & Tutorials

riddarhusetgal · 08-13-2008, 12:52 AM

Also, are there any other demo sites (of people who have used your plug in)? thanks

This plugin is meant to allow *anyone* to add ratings to a WordPress powered site, not just web host directories. It would not make sense to embed things like plans and prices into this plugin. You could do that all with WordPress (custom fields on the posts) and use this plugin to power the reviews tab like in that site.

REVIEW: WP Review Site

Here's a quick snapshot of my first impressions:

Very straightforward installation of plugin: upload, activate, configure settings, done.
Site setup w/in 5 minutes using included theme.

For some reason I thought that the included theme was the same as Award Winning Hosts. I see now on the features page there is a screen shot of the included theme, but - really - I'm the only one to make this mistake? The included theme is not near as attractive as Award Winning Hosts so that was kind of a let down - granted, it is a very clean and functional design.

The plugin is not plug and play for other themes. You do need to add the functions to the theme manually in order to take advantage of the plugin. However, it's well documented. Dan - can't this be handled from within the plugin? That would certainly open up the audience (currently alientating those who aren't comfortable editing themes).

The links above from version 1.1.1 do not do justice to the new plugin. The old version uses a numeric rating scale vs. the new premium plugins star rating system - an improvement that is very pleasing visually to the end user (both readers and reviewers).

Minor critique: Upon hitting save on the settings page, a notification indicating changes have been saved would be similar to Wordpress and many other plugins and add an image with your custom theme that displays on the design page.

Support
phpBay has an active forum and a developer who is continually upgrading the plugin. There doesn't seem to exist that kind of support for WP Review Site. Perhaps something for Dan to consider.

Implementations
I'm currently using the plugin on a couple test sites and when finished I'll provide links and a deeper analysis.

Here are some angles to pursue: affiliate review site (hosting, credit cards, green tea, etc.), citywide apartment reviews, Best Of _(insert city)_ - bars, restaurants, etc.

I'm curious to use both WP Review Site and this plugin to really crank out user generated content. Create the shell and then let the users go nuts filling in both the thing being reviewed and then the reviews. I would think this would be great for city search guides.

Price
I can't say that I would be interested in investing $99 in any one of the ideas above and $299 for a multisite license is very steep in my opinion. I'm comparing the features, support, and expandability of this plugin to another premium plugin phpBay. phpBay runs $79 (20% off here) and includes lifetime upgrades, community support, and it's really plug and play for any theme. Upload, activate, configure, profit w/ phpBay.

Now with WP Review Site the earnings model is not as straight forward, but the earning avenues are significant. The fact that this plugin can help considerably in generating user generated content is a huge plus. Consider setting up a site that reviews affiliate's products (like a hosting review site), you're able to send traffic to the affiliate's page to complete an offer. With EPN you're fighting to be the last cookie set - as the market gets flooded it might become more difficult in that arena. With WP Review Site, you're reaching people as they are comparing products / services and closer to the buy stage.

I would think that a better price point would be $79 for single, $99 for multisite. I would not be interested in this plugin for a single implementation, but $299 is just too steep.

I think if Dan revisits the pricing structure, implements some forums for support, and either integrates the function calls directly through the plugin OR offers additional "review ready" themes, that this plugin could be a real powerhouse. Would you rather sell 10 at $99 or 100 at $49 - that's my take. I'll update more as I continue to develop the sites.

[quote=radio;352918]REVIEW: WP Review Site

Here's a quick snapshot of my first impressions:

Great review. Is there something that combines both directory site/ and review site capability. I'm looking to outsource something like.

I found this plug in the other day (for directories, fed by articles)....dunno if anyone else knows of it or something similar: Welcome to EasyBlogsPro

JamesH · 08-13-2008, 04:34 PM

From what radio has mentioned, if you made it easier to utilize this plugin to work with other themes, and priced it at around the same area as phpBay for multi site licenses, I would buy this plugin. Just a suggestion.

Dan Grossman · 08-13-2008, 04:56 PM

Thanks for the honest review radio, and the suggestions James.

It's selling about a dozen copies a day with just natural search traffic already (301 redirected from the old plugin page which has strong backlinks), so I don't plan on reducing the price on the single site license below where it's at. Maybe $199 on the multi-site license instead of $299, though?

I will work on making it easier to integrate with other themes. I can probably do something where it appends the ratings to the top or bottom of posts and comments automatically with checkboxes or radio buttons on the settings page. I'll update tonight if that's the case, and still look forward to trigatch4's review.

JamesH · 08-13-2008, 05:47 PM

$199 is a lot easier to stomach than $299, however personally I'd still be a bit hesitant to purchase it. But I'm a cheap ass (and rightfully so, I'm a poor college student) and multi-site would be the only option for me. I'll keep my eye on this thread and see how the plugin develops, I'm looking forward to it.

trigatch4 · 08-13-2008, 06:49 PM

Alright folks... I took a bit different of an approach. You might want to read my Full Review & Tutorial but I've summarized my opinion below:

I tried to add WP Review Site as a feature within my blog, basically reviewing affiliate programs. This plugin is more set up to accomodate one site dedicated completely to reviews.

If you have moderate experience customizing wordpress and are itching to get some sites that FOCUS on reviews, by all means YES, this is a GREAT product. However, I came to a few conclusions (quoted from my blog post):

OVERALL IMPRESSIONS THUS FAR:
This plugin has HUGE potential. I absolutely love the ease and effectiveness of phpBay and this has the potential to be another incredible weapon in the arsenal. The key word is “potential”… at the moment there are simply too many issues/questions to suggest this plugin to anyone/everyone:
Price… $99 for one license and $299 for unlimited licenses is a bit steep considering the plugin leaves too many questions unanswered. I’d say $99 for single license and $199 for unlimited would be more fair. Keep pirating in mind… make it affordable and I think you’ll be rewarded ($79/$129 perhaps)

Support… Dan - You’ll increase the value astronomically if you provide support forums and you NEED to make a statement regarding upgrades of the product and what happens when Wordpress is upgraded. Questions will come into play once this plugin is used for a few months… questions that deserve to be answered if you’re buying the product. This could be a great product - extend its shelf life by providing support upfront.

Not 4 Newbs… because some of the details are inherently technical and must be applied manually, the product will be a problem for complete newbs ESPECIALLY considering the lack of support forums. This is a product which could be a SAVIOR for newbs… but in its current form is just too problematic. I think with a little more effort this product could become quite a sensation across the board.

THE BOTTOM LINE
Not currently recommended for Newbs

If you are currently LOOKING for a review plugin for wordpress and have at least mid range skills, look no further. This thing is pretty kick arse.

If you love the idea of this plugin but aren’t pressed for an immediate review/ratings solution and/or are a newb, play wait and see while the WickedFire thread develops. If Dan polishes the product a bit based on suggestions and alters the price to make it a little more affordable, I think he’ll hit a homerun with WP Review Site. So why wouldn’t he?

I'm pretty sure Dan answered the "Why Wouldn't He" question above, saying he already gets 12 sales or so a day. If he cut the price in half and sold 25 a day he would be making the exact same amount.

HOWEVER... I think making the changes, providing support, making everything a bit more seamless could mean the difference between considering the product a success and considering the product a sensation.

This thing has HUGE potential. I can say that right now, while it might be a little "steep" in price - you're definitely getting a good product. This isn't a rip off by any means... WP Review Site is LEGIT.

Personally, I'm going to take a wait-and-see approach before I buy the single copy or the unlimited license. I'm more of a marketing guy and struggling with customizing code really frustrates me. Patch up some of the big issues, ad some support forums and run a limited time promotion price and I think you'll have an overwhelming success on your hands.

Great start, Dan. I'm really looking forward to seeing this product go and implementing it on my sites. I've only played around for a couple hours while making my blog post so I'll probably come back after I have some more time to work with it. But... I wanted to get back to you and the community today as I promised.

HUGE NOTE: If Dan will let you upgrade from single license to unlimited license at no additional charge, there isn't much of a risk in buying it now. The WORST that can happen is he improves the product, you love it and you apply it to a ton of sites.

There ya have it. Buy the single license and see if you can make the magic happen. Afterall, its only $99! Dan can you confirm that you'll honor this?

Dan Grossman · 08-13-2008, 07:53 PM

Your wish is my command...

Easier Installation (NEWB Support)
WP Review Site can now auto embed the ratings in posts, pages, comments and the comment form. While this limits your options as far as positioning and appearance compared to editing themes yourself, it's much easier to add to existing themes, and you can accomplish a lot as far as looks with CSS alone.

The documentation page has been updated with three sets of install instructions depending on your level of experience with WordPress.

Multi-Site Price Drop
Only the single site licenses have been selling, so I've dropped the price on the multi site license by $100 to just $199, and the developer license to $299.

Forums and Support
A support forum has been added to the contact page, although I've been providing e-mail support to customers all along. I also added a note to the features page that you will get access to all significant upgrades for free. The site is keeping a database of e-mails of customers for notifications of these updates.

No Risk License Upgrades
As requested, there's no risk to buying a single site license to try it before you go for a multi site license. Just PM or e-mail me ([email protected]) when you're ready to upgrade, buy the new license, and I'll refund you the difference.

Thanks for the awesome review, and I hope everyone else will check it out now.

yoink*gasp* · 08-14-2008, 01:46 AM

Much improved, I'll be buying a license shortly. It's great to see you responding to the wants/needs of the community, by the way

Ok, you just lost my interest.

The #1 rule in software is to YES everything reasonable. You absolutely cannot tell someone who is explaining that your price point is fucked that they're wrong.

Bottom line is I read the review and gave your product a 2/10, which fucking sucks. I'm going to be honest, I'm cloning your idea.

As my boy Gordon Ramsay likes to say: Fuck off.

Anyone considering this product, PM me first. I'll spend a few days taking requirements then have a product made. Anyone who contributes gets a free copy/upgrade for life. Fuck this Dan guy.

I want to buy this, have a few questions. Sorry if questions were answered earlier, I didn't read the whole thread (and damn proud of it)

Besides aff links, is there another obvious way to monetize?

Is there only one template?

Can I look at a live demo of what I would actually be buying (not the template that is not included).

Thanks!

No, Yes, No

The thing everyone's asking for wherever I post this is the actual theme AWH uses. Since it's a nice profitable little site, I didn't want to give away that theme and made a new one for the plugin.

But I really don't think AWH will lose much if there are other sites with the same design. And the sales of the plugin are so promising so far. So I'm giving in.

I won't change the sales copy at all, but the plugin now comes with TWO themes.. the full widget-ready theme designed just for WPRS, and the theme AWH is actually running on (with a few tiny tweaks, like calling wp_list_pages instead of a hard coded menu).

So if that's exactly what you wanted your site to look like, here ya go! A nice surprise in the zip for everyone that isn't expecting it to be included.

Is this plugin compiled using IonCube or something similar or will I get to hack the code if I buy a license?

Not encoded, you can edit it.

AdExhibitJason Banned Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Wisconsin Posts: 1,402 iTrader: 2 / 75%	This is perfect for a site I was thinking about doing. A few questions though. Can it be added to any theme? Is it possible to make it do reviews on actual people? When building the site can you make sub sections for the reviews. Like if I had a hosting review site. Could I make sections for hosts that offer VPS, Cheap Hosting, Dedicated Hosting and so on. Also can there be sub reviews from the reviews like I set up a review and then more people can write the reviews. Comment on the reviews. Add a review for something on that site.

Dan Grossman Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2006 Posts: 145 iTrader: 0 / 0%	Jason, have you worked with WordPress before? As a plugin, this adds functionality to WordPress, but it doesn't take any away. For your "subcategories of reviews" question, you would create WP categories. When you post about a shared host, you tick off the shared hosting category. When you post about a dedicated host, you tick off the dedicated category. Most themes, including the sample theme, show a list of categories in the sidebar, but you can put them anywhere in the theme. About reviewing employees, make a post or a page about each employee. This plugin adds the ability to collect ratings with the comment form, and the comment form can appear on any post or page of WordPress. Take a moment to think about what people have done with WordPress. It's not just a blogging engine, it's a full CMS. I've created dynamic content websites (Website Goodies - Webmaster Resources, Articles and Website Tools), blogs (Dan Grossman » Building web services one day at a time) and ecommerce sites (WordPress Review Site Plugin » Turn WordPress Into a Powerful Review Site Engine) with WordPress. It can do all of that without extra plugins. So on top of all that, with WP Review Site, you can now turn the comment box into a review area with star ratings, display average ratings on any post or page, and sort post lists by weighted rank... plus the bonus tools.

radio Unconsciously competent. Join Date: Nov 2007 Posts: 1,540 iTrader: 25 / 100%	product looks legit. but at $299 for multi-site, that seems very steep. especially when you compare what you get at phpBay Pro for $79 (comparison of one premium paid plugin vs. another - not on comparable features). $99 for multi-site would seem like a better price. but no lying - that review site he posted is smoking! Here's something to compare it to: this plugin is based off of dan's original to what he's offering now: Sourcebench - the web developer’s workplace » Wordpress review plugin (SB_Review) Dan, if you're looking for someone to do a comparisson between the free options and your paid version, I'd certainly take a look w/ a complimentary multi-site license.

Dan Grossman Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2006 Posts: 145 iTrader: 0 / 0%	SB Review is based on 1.1.1 of this plugin, which is almost 2 years old and written against WP 1.x. Even if you can get it to work, it's just too buggy. For example, when spammers fill in a comment form with no ratings, their ratings count against the averages even when you delete the spam. 2.0 fixed all the bugs and added real administration screens, the easier setup, included theme that has it preinstalled, the ability to sort posts by weighted average, etc. Review copies: I'm going to send download links to radio and trigatch4 since they've volunteered. Give it a try and let 'em know what you think.

radio Unconsciously competent. Join Date: Nov 2007 Posts: 1,540 iTrader: 25 / 100%	REVIEW: WP Review Site Here's a quick snapshot of my first impressions: Very straightforward installation of plugin: upload, activate, configure settings, done. Site setup w/in 5 minutes using included theme. For some reason I thought that the included theme was the same as Award Winning Hosts. I see now on the features page there is a screen shot of the included theme, but - really - I'm the only one to make this mistake? The included theme is not near as attractive as Award Winning Hosts so that was kind of a let down - granted, it is a very clean and functional design. The plugin is not plug and play for other themes. You do need to add the functions to the theme manually in order to take advantage of the plugin. However, it's well documented. Dan - can't this be handled from within the plugin? That would certainly open up the audience (currently alientating those who aren't comfortable editing themes). The links above from version 1.1.1 do not do justice to the new plugin. The old version uses a numeric rating scale vs. the new premium plugins star rating system - an improvement that is very pleasing visually to the end user (both readers and reviewers). Minor critique: Upon hitting save on the settings page, a notification indicating changes have been saved would be similar to Wordpress and many other plugins and add an image with your custom theme that displays on the design page. Support phpBay has an active forum and a developer who is continually upgrading the plugin. There doesn't seem to exist that kind of support for WP Review Site. Perhaps something for Dan to consider. Implementations I'm currently using the plugin on a couple test sites and when finished I'll provide links and a deeper analysis. Here are some angles to pursue: affiliate review site (hosting, credit cards, green tea, etc.), citywide apartment reviews, Best Of _(insert city)_ - bars, restaurants, etc. I'm curious to use both WP Review Site and this plugin to really crank out user generated content. Create the shell and then let the users go nuts filling in both the thing being reviewed and then the reviews. I would think this would be great for city search guides. Price I can't say that I would be interested in investing $99 in any one of the ideas above and $299 for a multisite license is very steep in my opinion. I'm comparing the features, support, and expandability of this plugin to another premium plugin phpBay. phpBay runs $79 (20% off here) and includes lifetime upgrades, community support, and it's really plug and play for any theme. Upload, activate, configure, profit w/ phpBay. Now with WP Review Site the earnings model is not as straight forward, but the earning avenues are significant. The fact that this plugin can help considerably in generating user generated content is a huge plus. Consider setting up a site that reviews affiliate's products (like a hosting review site), you're able to send traffic to the affiliate's page to complete an offer. With EPN you're fighting to be the last cookie set - as the market gets flooded it might become more difficult in that arena. With WP Review Site, you're reaching people as they are comparing products / services and closer to the buy stage. I would think that a better price point would be $79 for single, $99 for multisite. I would not be interested in this plugin for a single implementation, but $299 is just too steep. I think if Dan revisits the pricing structure, implements some forums for support, and either integrates the function calls directly through the plugin OR offers additional "review ready" themes, that this plugin could be a real powerhouse. Would you rather sell 10 at $99 or 100 at $49 - that's my take. I'll update more as I continue to develop the sites.

Dan Grossman Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2006 Posts: 145 iTrader: 0 / 0%	Thanks for the honest review radio, and the suggestions James. It's selling about a dozen copies a day with just natural search traffic already (301 redirected from the old plugin page which has strong backlinks), so I don't plan on reducing the price on the single site license below where it's at. Maybe $199 on the multi-site license instead of $299, though? I will work on making it easier to integrate with other themes. I can probably do something where it appends the ratings to the top or bottom of posts and comments automatically with checkboxes or radio buttons on the settings page.

trigatch4 BuildAndEarn Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: East Coast Posts: 2,548 iTrader: 2 / 100%	Alright folks... I took a bit different of an approach. You might want to read my Full Review & Tutorial but I've summarized my opinion below: I tried to add WP Review Site as a feature within my blog, basically reviewing affiliate programs. This plugin is more set up to accomodate one site dedicated completely to reviews. If you have moderate experience customizing wordpress and are itching to get some sites that FOCUS on reviews, by all means YES, this is a GREAT product. However, I came to a few conclusions (quoted from my blog post): OVERALL IMPRESSIONS THUS FAR: This plugin has HUGE potential. I absolutely love the ease and effectiveness of phpBay and this has the potential to be another incredible weapon in the arsenal. The key word is “potential”… at the moment there are simply too many issues/questions to suggest this plugin to anyone/everyone: Price… $99 for one license and $299 for unlimited licenses is a bit steep considering the plugin leaves too many questions unanswered. I’d say $99 for single license and $199 for unlimited would be more fair. Keep pirating in mind… make it affordable and I think you’ll be rewarded ($79/$129 perhaps) Support… Dan - You’ll increase the value astronomically if you provide support forums and you NEED to make a statement regarding upgrades of the product and what happens when Wordpress is upgraded. Questions will come into play once this plugin is used for a few months… questions that deserve to be answered if you’re buying the product. This could be a great product - extend its shelf life by providing support upfront. Not 4 Newbs… because some of the details are inherently technical and must be applied manually, the product will be a problem for complete newbs ESPECIALLY considering the lack of support forums. This is a product which could be a SAVIOR for newbs… but in its current form is just too problematic. I think with a little more effort this product could become quite a sensation across the board. THE BOTTOM LINE Not currently recommended for Newbs If you are currently LOOKING for a review plugin for wordpress and have at least mid range skills, look no further. This thing is pretty kick arse. If you love the idea of this plugin but aren’t pressed for an immediate review/ratings solution and/or are a newb, play wait and see while the WickedFire thread develops. If Dan polishes the product a bit based on suggestions and alters the price to make it a little more affordable, I think he’ll hit a homerun with WP Review Site. So why wouldn’t he? I'm pretty sure Dan answered the "Why Wouldn't He" question above, saying he already gets 12 sales or so a day. If he cut the price in half and sold 25 a day he would be making the exact same amount. HOWEVER... I think making the changes, providing support, making everything a bit more seamless could mean the difference between considering the product a success and considering the product a sensation. This thing has HUGE potential. I can say that right now, while it might be a little "steep" in price - you're definitely getting a good product. This isn't a rip off by any means... WP Review Site is LEGIT. Personally, I'm going to take a wait-and-see approach before I buy the single copy or the unlimited license. I'm more of a marketing guy and struggling with customizing code really frustrates me. Patch up some of the big issues, ad some support forums and run a limited time promotion price and I think you'll have an overwhelming success on your hands. Great start, Dan. I'm really looking forward to seeing this product go and implementing it on my sites. I've only played around for a couple hours while making my blog post so I'll probably come back after I have some more time to work with it. But... I wanted to get back to you and the community today as I promised. HUGE NOTE: If Dan will let you upgrade from single license to unlimited license at no additional charge, there isn't much of a risk in buying it now. The WORST that can happen is he improves the product, you love it and you apply it to a ton of sites. There ya have it. Buy the single license and see if you can make the magic happen. Afterall, its only $99! Dan can you confirm that you'll honor this?

Dan Grossman Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2006 Posts: 145 iTrader: 0 / 0%	Your wish is my command... Easier Installation (NEWB Support) WP Review Site can now auto embed the ratings in posts, pages, comments and the comment form. While this limits your options as far as positioning and appearance compared to editing themes yourself, it's much easier to add to existing themes, and you can accomplish a lot as far as looks with CSS alone. The documentation page has been updated with three sets of install instructions depending on your level of experience with WordPress. Multi-Site Price Drop Only the single site licenses have been selling, so I've dropped the price on the multi site license by $100 to just $199, and the developer license to $299. Forums and Support A support forum has been added to the contact page, although I've been providing e-mail support to customers all along. I also added a note to the features page that you will get access to all significant upgrades for free. The site is keeping a database of e-mails of customers for notifications of these updates. No Risk License Upgrades As requested, there's no risk to buying a single site license to try it before you go for a multi site license. Just PM or e-mail me ([email protected]) when you're ready to upgrade, buy the new license, and I'll refund you the difference.

Two multi-site licenses picked up for $20 off, this is your chance. Share Share this post on Digg Del.icio.us Technorati Twitter __________________ $20 Off WP Review Site for WF

Sorry if questions were answered earlier, I didn't read the whole thread (and damn proud of it) Besides aff links, is there another obvious way to monetize? Is there only one template? Can I look at a live demo of what I would actually be buying (not the template that is not included). Thanks!
