Alright guys, WP Quick Polls is a project I've been working on for a while now designed to make it easy to create some profitable poll-style landing pages quickly. Its simple yet powerful - beginners can use it to make landing pages that convert, and experts can use it to build anything they want; and do it faster.

The features are vast and powerful - I mean, I checked out the competition and made sure I had everything they had - offer rotation, double refresh to cloak your links, full compatibility with statistics packages, all the little nuanced features you may need if you chose to promote something like IQ tests instead of the traditional submits, content auto-generation for quality score from a variety of sources (Google News, Digg, Yahoo News, search results). The script also comes with two default themes that I've successfully ran polls with (and had a few of my aff marketing buddies test out with positive conversion rates); so, they work: but you also have the flexibility / customization of working within the theme system.

Obviously I'm available for support via e-mail, and you'll get free updates to the newest available version with every license. You can install it on as many
WordPress installations as you own.

Check out some screenshots or the live demo of some active polls.

Perfect timing as Hydra just stopped allowing this sort of traffic, imagine others will follow suit soon.

Refrozen

You two who asked, you'll get the final review copies. Give me a sec to get the PMs out :-)

I don't think it matters (too much.). The guys running polls historically do not run Hydra, because of some bad situations in the past (at least, the guys I know... and the consensus at PPC-Coach as far as I can tell), and the double refresh feature of my script, as well as that of most tracking software may encourage people to do bad things (at the risk of not getting paid though, I don't recommend it).

I don't expect the other networks to follow suit at this point. You could be right though. I know poll traffic is converting for some advertisers on the backend; I've spoken with them directly. :-)

It wasn't a Network decision, rather a few advertisers decision...

Also - "historically", guys do run Hydra. Including PPC-Coach members. (Yes, I have been a member for 7 months) Although the only real thing that keeps me there is the Content Network tool, and the Forum. hah.

Refrozen

Of course it was an advertisers decision - that the network accepted.

Anyway, for now there's a lot of networks that are accepting poll / quiz / one-page lander traffic with much success. If the others follow, you're right, it'll probably be time to move on to other things. :-)

I really don't think that's a problem at this point though; especially with Will @ PPC-Coach still actively supporting the polls month and Wotogepa being on the affiliate's side.

OK, to increase the review process a little bit I'm going to offer two more review copies. Please only request one if you've done a review before and have the time to do a review in the next few days.

Post here if you think you'd be a good candidate.

I was just looking for a tool like this. I'd love to try and run some polls with PPC and PPV.

roknrolltkovr

I've got my own crappy hacked up version up WP for throwing polls together that does a lot of this, but I'd love to try out a legit setup like this. If I don't have enough posts its all good. But if so, I can get a review up for you by tonight.

Refrozen

OK. Sending out the final review copies now. I'm giving out 4 instead of 2 because I got a lot of messages. Hope to see some review soon. :-)

I received one of the review copies and have send already some feedback/questions back to refrozen.

Overall this looks like a very slick WP plugin from what I can tell so far. I did not have enough time yet to play with all the features, but will do more testing tomorrow (it's late here and I need some sleep). Install went very smooth and the documentation is solid. So, initial impression - good tool with lots of features. Probably a few items that need to be improved (or I have not found the right procedures yet (that's why I am waiting for feedback to my questions)), but nothing that I would consider a show stopper.

Most helpful review post in history. The great detail you went into with all of the features, how the plugin works, and what results we can expect will definitely influence the buying decisions of anyone who reads this post.

It should probably be stickied, IMHO.

frugaljoe

I got one of the original review copies. This is a really powerful and easy to use plugin. I have several suggestions that would make it better, but it's already very good at what it aims to do.

My full review is below:

1. Installation was easy, as would be expected
2. Setting up polls is pretty straightforward, about as easy as PollFactory; there are more configuration options in PF though, such as previews.
3. Documentation is fairly thorough, though, a bit of additional info in the "Where to go from here" section would be helpful
4. It would be helpful to know what image size to use - does the image box scale, or should we use the 442x312px size that the demo polls use?
5. It would be helpful to be able to duplicate polls simply and quickly for testing's sake. For example, testing different themes, or image would be made easier by being able to click a button to duplicate a previous poll, and then being able to replace the image or call to action text.
6. Obviously as I do more polls, I'll know the themes better, but having a popup preview of the them would be helpful.
7. I'm seeing a broken image above the image I entered for my test poll. However, when I click on the broken image, it takes me to my offer.
8. I'd like to change the size and font of the directions text. When I edited it directly, I screwed up the formatting of the poll (which I haven't been able to fix (the easy fix will be just re-creating the poll)).
9. Instructions on how to change the RSS feed that fills the auto-content beneath the poll would be helpful. Right now, I've got 10 of the same story from digg, beneath my poll, which probably isn't going to serve the purpose of the feed.

I'll post some more comments once I have more time to play with it, but, as I said above; this is a really powerful plugin and works just as you would hope it would.

Refrozen

Thanks a lot. Changing the RSS feed for the quick create feature is something I'm working on right now, but to change it when you use "Make Post" in the polls area just select from the drop down list by "autogenerate content" whichever source you'd like: make sure to specify some keywords (comma delimited if you want more than one).

I'm putting all your feature requests / suggestions / problems on the todo list for the next version. p.s., obviously #7 was designed to increase your CTR ;-). No, just kidding: you need to select the option theme that says "no image" if you're not going to specify an image: something that needs to be made more clear for sure.

I love the feedback guys, keep it coming. :-) The only way I can build exactly what you guys need is if you tell me; so I really appreciate it.

p.p.s., there's a "Copy" button in the manage polls screen. As soon as you click save, you'll be given a verbatim copy of the poll.

Was given review as promised, and will have time tonight, and this weekend to test out. Looking forward to it, because it looks great!

I didn't receive or ask for a review copy, but he sent me a copy of this to test anyway. I have to say this software kicks ass.

I had a good looking poll lander up in literally five minutes, and that's counting the time it took to activate the plugin and install WordPress.

Building landing pages like this would take me a few hours (per LP), so for $69 this is definitely worth it.

Refrozen

Thanks bud. Like I said in the message, I sent you the review copy because I am a huge fan of WPReviewEngine (that's this guy's software).

If you have any suggestions / comments / ideas, please let me know. :-)

Wow, this script looks really cool. Could someone who's used the script tell me if the autogenerated content real time, or no?

digga121

LOL, I hope that was sarcasm...oh ya it was..

my review coming tonight I hope! Will be helpfull I PROMISE!

__________________

Refrozen

It is not real time. Its generated when the poll is saved. That's a good feature request though; I'll put it on the list. The reason I decided to put it when the poll is saved is because loading real time could cause the poll to take longer to load, thus reducing your conversion rate; the content isn't for the users, its really for the search engines.

Edit: digga121, I can't wait! :-)

I will throw my 2 cents in. I am not a guru, but i do polls. And certainly i would love help being more profitable. But I can make a landing page in 2 seconds on xsite pro so I don't need software to do that. What takes the most time is finding an offer that is not scrubbed to death by all networks, and most of them seem to do it; and finding a topic where the people not only vote but buy. All that takes time and testing, and a piece of software that creates landing pages does not solve those two problems, unless I'm wrong. If I'm wrong, just tell me how this would help.

Make me some software that shows me:
1. cpa offers that convert over 10% and are not scrubbed to death;
2. markets where the voters click on my ad and I get charged but they also love to put in their email/zip so I get paid.
I will buy that software.

Thanks and good luck.

Refrozen

Thanks for the feedback. I'm in the process of expanding the documentation to include some very useful data with this regard. It may take a while, as I'm doing actual experiments / statistics gathering for this. I'll consider what you said (although, your suggestions specifically probably aren't implementable - at least, not at their root level), and do some thinking. :-)

That said, there's a lot of ways this plugin makes you faster / more profitable than just using a WYSIWYG. Offer rotation (with features for more complicated stuff), statistics, simple double refresh, etc.

You are by far the cheapest (and quickest) person on this forum.

Seems like a solid program and will help members that are in PPC-Coach's mentoring program. Below are my thoughts on the plug-in after working with it for a short time.

After the plugin installation I went through the "quick create" process and was able to have a poll up and running in a couple of minutes.
The tracking of CTR and actions within the plug-in are a nice feature.
During your Campaign creation you have the option of entering individual url's or code blocks to rotate offers for your poll participants. There is also an option to show a message and then refresh to an offer.
After your campaign is set up you then move on to creating your poll.
Poll creation is pretty straight forward, you create your poll question, select your campaign, add picture url and you are set. The last thing you do is make a post for the poll.
One thing I definitely like is how it has a spot for you to add your javascript (tracking202pro script) as opposed to having to add it in the header or install a plug-in.
The software will also auto-create "privacy policy" and "terms of services" to improve your AdWords Quality Score.
The documentation covers the many variables to tweaking the themes that come pre-packaged with the plug-in.

Benefits:
You can create polls fairly quickly without modifications.
You can do a quick duplicate of a completed poll to speed up deployment of polls.
Documentation is pretty good (see below).
Offer rotation with delay and refresh.

Handicaps:
Documentation on image usage with included themes. (still unsure of what size images it will scale to).
I would like to see more themes included.

Refrozen

ahtran, for your tracking202pro script, there should be a field on the manage poll screen that says "tracking (head)" and "tracking (foot)" pick one, and stick it in there. If you're unsure, head will probably work.

Edit: I just realized that said "one thing I really like" and not "one thing I wasn't sure about". Sorry. haha

Refrozen,

I bought your product eariler this week. Is it possible you can have the tool on domain1.com but publish to domain2.com? Or is the best option just to use iframe.

Also, in future updates include lots of templates please.

Thank you.

Refrozen

Use an iframe or install it again on domain2.com. You can run the script on as many domains as you like.

There's some new themes / theme upgrades coming in 2.0. You'll be receiving an email about this soon. :-) Free upgrade, as promised.

Joe.

Edit: send me an email if you need help. :-)

Okay, I am sorry it took so long, and it had nothing to do with the product installation, it was because I was too busy to give this fine product the time it deserved! Anyway here's my review....

this is a quick way to use the powerful and most simple cms platform out there, wordpress. Wordpress provides an easy way to create a lot of content and make life a bit easier. With wp quick polls it was easy to just create a simple poll with content right away. wp quick polls uses the power of wordpress cms to create multiple polls without changing the wordpress structure.

unlike the others I have seen, it uses digg for content. it has a separate panel to control existing polls and even update polls. each poll is created with ease and allows you to rotate offers with ease.

it was literally a 5 minute install, download, upload, activate, start - very simple to use and create. another great featur is the ability to call the poll without the full code, I can use an existing polls in a content. versatile and simple and ofcourse using the power of wordpress.

I will surely be looking forward to the updates and new themes in version 2.0! Thanks Refrozen for letting me be a reviewer!

Digga.

Refrozen

Thanks for the review, Digga. You can use other sources than Digg! Digg is just the default for the quick create, because they look the best. In the next version, you'll be able to properly integrate polls in to posts rather than using it within the broader themes - of course, there's not a lot of reason people would want to do that, its a feature people have requested.

Thanks for the positive review. :-)
