The Money Making Website

Here are a couple more handy plugins to have for your Wordpress website.

Sociable – You might see some little icons at the bottom of posts in Wordpress for various sites such as Facebook, StumbleUpon, Technocrati, Digg and many others. These are all social websites where users participate in finding interesting things to share. What could be better than having them share your content? Can you say more traffic?

Wordpress Download Monitor – Have an Ebook? Would you like to make a bit of extra cash with it? Want to know how many have downloaded it after they have paid you using the ArePayPal plugin? Just use this handy plugin to upload your ebook. Track the downloads and secure it to members only.

Google XML Sitemaps – This is probably the most absolute handy plugin you could install. It is a definite must have for any Wordpress blog. Configure it once you install it and your pages and posts will be added to the Google directory search much faster than if you waited for Google to crawl your site. Sometimes only hours from the time you post to the time people find you through the search engine.

WP-Affiliate – Affiliate marketing is always a touchy thing. People can just copy the link and remove your id to deny you any commission. This can happen easily if someone uses an iframe to display your site and some software to just swap their affiliate id with yours. Users are also a bit more inclined to click on a link that doesn’t have an affiliate id. This plugin will allow you to add links that will redirect to the actual link without the user knowing until they are already there. It will also help you with your Google page ranking as Google looks for those affiliate id’s and off site linking. This works great with affiliate programs like Clickbank and Commission Junction.

With a little work you can have a healthy number of revenue streams with your Wordpress Blog. All while providing great content for your readers.
