Ola, I'm in the midst of doing a hi-end WP theme for my personal blog et al however will also be putting product(s) into it for CB (as a vendor)... I'm thinking out of the box and if anyone has already done this please let me know your experience so far. a) Greatest Seo tool you can have (especially if you are smart with your plugins). b) Easy way to get your backlinks, easy way to get RSS involvement and easy way to build a list/outreach platforms. c) Easy way to make new products. d) Because it's php - easy way to incorporate page targeting for aff's (meaning an aff can send traffic to any sub-page). e) Great for support/reviews/centralized research for prospects/upsells etc. f) With the right vendors involvement, ability to go directly to payment pages with discounts from one place for backend upsells or more discounts. g) Once enough content is made to sell, it becomes your own little niche mall with paramount CMS and manual control for much better/quicker ranking and viral probability compared to any bans or clickbank mall type site (not to mention the esthetics and look are your own). Again this is all from a vendors perspective and i'm not seeing it done yet, makes me wonder about possible negatives?= a) Would affiliates see it as a positive or negative? and why? b) Could the customer journey be defected because they are buying from a customized WP/blog or would the branding enhance conversions? c) Can't really think of many other negatives (perhaps conflicts if there are ad spots or other exits)... What are your thoughts? Is there already a fleet of these out there? I didn't really do much searching however the WP world is a crazy buzz right now so even if only for internal promotion capabilities do you think this could be a switch many vendors will make soon? NC.
Norb - I usually prioritize reading your posts - but I'm afraid I have to say I don't follow this. What are you getting at? Translate....condense?
Reading it over - that's what i get when posting middle of the night letting my thoughts wander - the lack of response and silence is loud though - so I'll just show you guys when ready... will be my first sig (or is but the site/idea will be functioning soon)... Thanks Flip.
lol true, everyone is like that at night, usually when you post something you don't understand. People often think the same thing right now. However once you get your sleep and look next day, you will probably understand more. Did you understand what I said? lol
**Yep, after a long day of absorbing info/research and dissecting it, the few hours before bed are a shmorgus board of ideas and random connections I'd love to see a show of hands (posts) from those that can HONESTLY say they have fallen asleep in their chairs or on their desks while IM'ing... I think i've done it about a dozen times to date - Sometimes just staring and thinking/brainstorming, next thing I know i'm 'really' comfortable, next thing I know I'm aware that my eyes are closed and I convince myself that 20-30 seconds of power rest (long blink more like) will be ok - and then I wake up with kinks in my neck and barely slug myself to bed... imagine we all studied this hard back in school.
funny, because it was late when I was reading NC's post...figuring my brain was just having a hard time processing. which was probably true. No, I've 99% shut down my IM'ing, per recommendation of the FourHour workweek guy. It works. can't say I miss it. anyone else...?
I think i understand after putting a few thoughts throught the hoop during the non awake process because the sheep are out to pasture I think I understand. Once I get the sheep off the lazy arses and moving through the hoops everything should be back in order. I need some more sheep ... err I meant sleep. So funning aside is this a bans type WP? I'm already doing this and it works rather well.
