radio

so sales copy is not my thing, but here goes:

auction2post is the BEST FUCKING eBay Wordpress plugin period.

click here to buy. use this code to save $20 (reg. $79): 7D107C5002

click here to read about it's development. click here to visit the forums.

consider the following:

this is a presale / prerelease for auction2post currently in version 0.0.8. you receive lifetime free upgrades for future releases. version 1.0 is scheduled to be released june 15th at which point the coupon above expires.

current version only works with epn and NOT pjn - apparently no one wanted the free version offered here and pjn hasn't bothered to get back to me after repeated calls/emails/etc. it will remain w/out pjn support until either i hear from someone @ pjn or one of their affiliates steps up to help out.

also, this version is limited to the US eBay site only. international site search will be implemented in a pre 2.0 release but will not be part of a2p 1.0. fyi.

i will be working on some video tutorials and a nicer Install Guide this weekend.

finally, if you have issues w/ signing up or logging in after signing up, please send me a pm either here or ideally at the a2p forums here.

A2P kicks ass. I never downloaded the free version, however I really wish I did. A2P does exactly what radio says. My favorite feature of A2P is being able to automate the entire process. I also like how you can setup your own templates, and how easy it is to setup. Is it worth $79? Fuck yea, you definitely won't be disappointed.

A+++plus++ will buy again

radio

thanks, man! JamesH was part of the crack team of WF members who helped BETA test this plugin. it is a more solid offering with more features than i anticipated. thanks again to that team!

this_guy

This plug-in kicks some major ass and attracts some major traffic. Get your hands on a pre-release copy of this bitch and get to work. NOW!!

It has an great collection of features that really make a difference in setting up a quick ebay-log.

By the way radio the ebay rover link cloaking works like a charm.

random side note: I believe camtasia offers a free trial for a month or something? you could probably get all your tutorials done in that time

Ok I got one site up last night. My goal is to do one new site a day...scaling baby!!

The real reason I popped back into this thread was not to ramble (although you all know I love a good ramble) I just wanted to say that Radio has been ridiculously awesome with his customer service. He always answers my gagillion questions without making me feel like the tard that I am, sometimes. (We joke about how I'm really just helping him write the auction2post tutorial for dummies but it's got to be annoying sometimes) Anyways, for the most part it's all really simple and for the advanced options you've got either the tutorials or reliable customer support/forum to help you through it. There is really no reason you should not buy this now.

radio

thanks, turbo!

it was just brought to my attention that some people might think presale / prerelease means that you pay now and receive later.... no, no, no. that's my bad. this plugin is available right fucking now. click here to buy it, download it, generate license file, upload, activate, then BANK!

fuck me. i just saw that i had the damn product title and description hidden on the signup page. thanks to the brave souls who have signed up and paid even though it didn't say what you were buying. fuck me.

Just bought. Beta was awesome, looking forward to filling up my server!!!!!!!!!!

great job radio

Do you recommend some sort of mix content %?

Such as:
70% real content / 30% auctions
70% auctions / 30% real content
100% auctions

Just wondering if the auctions get flagged as dupe content or if they can be enough on their own to rank.

turbolapp

I can't really answer any of that for you, as I've only done one site so far, for about a month.

I will say that I had a random longtail keyword that ranked above the actual ebay auction listing. I did a little "I'm the shit" dance.

this_guy

You might want to try a rewrite plugin to cloud the waters a little.

I think you probably answered these questions, but let me do a quick run-down of what I think it does and you can can confirm. (as your product is most likely excellent, but your copyrighting most certainly sucks a smelly ladyboy 3am at nana)

1. I put in a search term for eBay (basic or advanced)
2. It takes this and scrapes up to the top 100 results and makes a affiliate link loaded post with the the picture and description scraped from ebay (looks like you are caching the picture as well)
3. This is all automated - (via CRON? - I have to setup in cPanel?) meaning that I set it up once. And never have to touch it again and it periodically will search for the term and add auctions based on that search - also I can set it to automatically remove expired auctions?
4. Unlimited Domain license?
5. Link Cloaking?

Am I on the right track with the basic functions above
What is most important to me as user is the ability to set it up once and forget about it.

btw... what wordpress theme is that on your sales page, its fantastic!

ClarkeW

Just bought a copy of this myself and really looking forward to using it. It looks like a great product, so it's time to get to work now!

convertfire

How much does it cost,and where to buy?

Never mind, just saw it

radio

In addition to a search term you can specify exclude terms, eBay category, bid range, price range, seller ID, exclude sellers, condition, sort preference, item type, distance, store search, specific product search (EAN,ISBN,UPC), buy it now only items, search title and description, and hide duplicates.

Scraping sounds so dirty... it uses the eBay API and generates the appropriate call to eBay and eBay graciously responds with an xml response loaded with content that can now be turned into a post on your website. You have the option to take the images that a user has uploaded to eBay and save them to your server or you can opt to just hotlink them. The plugin creates a rover/affiliate link for you and by using the templates you can create a post template that is littered w/ the link or more modest - entirely up to you, just use the [link] tag in the post templte. There is a default template but you are able to create more and save them, edit them, copy them, or if they suck... delete them. To insert images into your post using a template, use the [img[]] tag (where you can insert attributes inside the nested []) - if there are images to display, they are - otherwise it bows out nicely. The templates allow for setting Custom Field keys and values - so if you're using a magazine style layout - you can set the homepage image to the first image that eBay returns. This is fucking slick. Look forward to creating some more sample sites using this feature to showcase plugin. Also will be customizing some themes so that they work seamlessly w/ a2p (i.e. no need to identify "feature" post - it just features the latest post).

It uses the wp_schedule_event to fire the automated events based on the schedule that you set - this is either hourly or daily. There is a catch, in order to trigger, someone needs to visit the site. This hasn't been an issue for me (as I've gone to bed and woken up with hundreds of new posts) - but if you want to be sure you're generating posts on an exact schedule, then you can use cron. here's an example:

Yes. Each requires its own license file that you generate, download, and upload through your license manager which you get access to after payment.

I think it's more appropriate to call it masking (even though I started by calling it cloaking). But yes, you can opt to hide your footprint with a masked link that may also help with SEO. Instead of the rover link, you will have a link like this:

You do need to move a file into your wordpress install directory and modify the .htaccess in that directory as well - but that is explained in the general settings tab where you elect that option.

Please see last bullet point from a2p website:

• Build Niche Websites with 100’s of Posts in Minutes!
• Improve Your Rank in Search Engines!
• Deliver Highly Targeted Niche Specific Content!
• Set It & Forget It Automation!

I think this will definitely meet and exceed your expectations / needs. It's the best fucking eBay Wordpress plugin period... or so I read earlier in this thread.

$79 (use the coupon above to save $20) - buy it here. read more about it here.

Ok, I just bought and installed on one site..

my review is that this will create EXCELLENT search bait and is a great buy.
The backend is fairly complex and completely customizable which is very important because the problem with programs like these is they get footprinted if everybody uses the exact same roll out.

EPN income is my #1 profit stream and I am looking forward to deploying this on gazillions of sites.....

Only complaint I have, and perhaps it is being modifed is that description text comes with no <br> breaks. I guess the XML dump just dumps it like this? but perhaps input an option for random breaks?

radio

Why random, baby?! General Settings - HTML Description instead of Text Description, allowable tags <p> - love is in the air!

Doesn't anyone watch my video tutorials?! lol!

Glad you like!

you'll be glad to know the user guide is being created in pdf form now... but it's going to be a fucking book!

LISTEN UP! The next person to buy the auction2post plugin will get one year of free hosting with ZenSix. You'll be getting the $59.99/year DirectAdmin "Perfectly Balanced" plan (check out the site for details).

The catch? Once you install and use the plugin, you have to come back to this thread and give an honest review of both the plugin and the hosting.

To make it fair, the first person to respond to this post saying they've bought the plugin, gets the free hosting account. And once radio verifies that you've bought it, I'll set the account up for you.

Now stop reading this and go buy the freaking plugin. You'll be getting $138.99 worth of plugins and hosting for $59 (use his coupon code).

Like Whoa

Ok I am going to ask a total noob question. Please don't dick roll me.

So what would be the proper use for this plugin.

Buy domain
Create Niche
Create Automated posts using plugin
Promote using PPC...
Or would this organically pick up traffic? Or both.

I watched the videos if I can 'get it' - a lot of people can. Looks great.

dewme5

that would be me. Your hosting pushed me to by right now. I was gonna wait a few days. Oh well.

i'm not above dickrolling someone in my own sales thread. so be forewarned.

you pretty much nailed it. but it's generally accepted that you don't promote epn stores w/ ppc. some people do with good results, so to each their own. but i would not recommend using one of these sites w/ ppc. this is for search traffic and owning the long-tail. then driving that traffic to eBay w/ cookies in tow.

here's a further explanation about ppc and epn sites.
Why you should not use PPC with your phpBay Pro sites | phpBay Tips

no dickroll... promise!

Got it thank you for the link!

dewme5

The uses are limited by your creativity.
The basics. EPN will pay you some $ when a person you refer to an auction, buys. A2P automates the link building. You host a site with hundreds of EPN links on it. When people find your site, thru some funky keyword searches. They follow your links to the item's they were looking for. They buy, you win.

You'll be getting sites indexed in the time you would have been sitting on your thumbs! You got a sweet deal. Again, thanks to zensix for the offer.

Remember, the deal includes you writing a review of both the plugin AND the zensix perfectly balanced premium hosting.

I've tested out the plugin on ALL zensix hosting accounts and it works great - but let's hear a customer review (although i do have both a cpanel and direct admin acct w/ zensix, but I digress).

Can you recommend any WP plugins that perform the 'rewrite' task mentioned in ur post?

thanks Ross! 0.0.9 drops in 45 minutes! create categories instantly from Automation tab and Search tab (speeds productivity up crazy fast!), preview your Automated Search results before scheduling (see search results and fine tune if necessary before posting so you know your automated events will create fine tuned niche specific posts full of dripping wet hot content!)

and while i would love the bump... yes - a2p Version 1.0 released on Monday will be wp 2.8 compatible (if it isn't already).

I'm ready to buy it as soon as EPN stops being a bitch and accepts me! ughh

radio

buy it now, get those sites/pages indexed, activate links when ePN comes around

Actually that's not such a bad idea for you guys having problems. Buy a niche deal domain. xyzwidgetdeals.com Create your site built around offering feeds for the best deals that you can find off of xyzwidgets and fill it up with the ebay content. (without links of course) It would be humorous for those epn approvers to see a site filled with Ebay feeds but no links back to ebay. Anyways you'll be ranking for lontail keywords in no time. When you submit your site for approval you can even say I rank #1 for "the xyzwidgets model #29830" Heh.

Dreo13

I did PM Radio about that and wanted a little more insight. Thanks for the response Turbo. I guess that is true about ranking for the keywords. Interesting idea and I think I'm going to jump on it tonight.

radio

i'm full of not bad ideas. thanks for expanding that thought for me!


so, yeah, go buy my plugin.

Working on my feature list, going to have to pare these down, but thought i would share (these should have probably been in my first post in this thread - but whatever). a2p has come a long way since my original concept. Version 1.0 will be released Monday, get your copy this weekend with the promotional code in the top post (code expires Sunday!). Lifetime upgrades, lifetime support.


Follow turbolapp's advice above and buy it now!

Got some good feedback on the site from a few people and I've incorporated those changes. Feel free to PM me anything you think could improve the auction2post sales page (meaning making a better closer).

Thanks! Wickedfire has helped shape this plugin and it's so much more than what it would have been otherwise. Trial by fire... wickedfire.

I've had the plugin for about a week now and it's pretty amazing. I've already got a couple sites built out and plans for a lot more. It's on track to pay for itself in the next few days.

On another note the support that Radio has provided has been awesome and it looks like this plugin will continue to get better and better in future releases.

This is really a great Plugin
