This Affiliate Wordpress CSV and Datafeed Import Plugin is available from Digitalquill and costs just £25. OK, so what can you do with your new plugin? Once you have installed Wordpress onto your website, unzip and upload the datafeed files into the wp-content/plugins/ directory. Now when you are logged into the admin are you have a new option under the Posts heading:

Create Posts from Datafeed

This plugin is simplicity itself to use. The plugin has been improved over the last few months with a number of new releases, each of these you get free with your purchase too.

So using this new option, you get to upload a datafeed file into your Wordpress blog. The plugin analysis the file extracting the columns, then attaches a number to each of these columns. To build your blog post ‘template’ simply use a mixture of HTML code and the codes assigned to each column. It really is simplicity itself to use. A couple of sites I have created using this latest version of the Datafeed Import Tool plugin are Classic English Interiors, A Hot Cup and Grange Hampers.

The current version has just recently been updated to be compatible with WordPress v2.9.

Full instructions and screen examples can be found on Digital Quill website.

18ct White Gold Earrings

WIN a fantastic pair of diamond studs worth £329!

From time to time merchants offer affiliates incentives. This can be for a number of reasons – get more affiliates to sign up to the programme, increase sales or re-invigorate dormant affiliates to name but a few.

To participate in this incentive, join the Purely Diamonds programme if you aren’t already a member.

So, how do you get yourself in with a chance of winning these earrings?

One of three ways:

1. Place a link on a website – earns you one raffle ticket.

2. Make £500 in sales – earns you one raffle ticket.

3. Make a blog post or review – earns you one raffle ticket.

Once any or these have been completed, send an email to hannah @ existem-am.com and let her know, she will award you with your one raffle ticket.

If you haven’t promoted jewellery before it really is worth trying. Think how many occassions there are for people to buy someone a gift, birthdays, to say ‘thank you’, congratulations, anniversary, Christmas, Valentines Day, Mothers Day, Fathers Day or simply to say ‘I Love You’.

Promote a gift of a diamond ring, engagement ring, ruby earrings, cuff links – the list is endless. Purely Diamonds offer you a 7% commission for any sales that you generate.

Good Luck!

It has been a difficult end to the year what with Woolworths and others going into administration. Lets all hope that the start of 2009 will be a start of some sort of recovery, although I think it will be a long and difficult road.

I hope this next year will be a prosperous and fulfilling year to you all.

Fingers crossed they get a new supplier and fast so the programme can be re-started.

So, well done and thanks very much for being different to the rest!

Now I know margins are tight at the best of times on these products, but really this is an insult to drop the reward to affiliates to zero just because this is a busy time of year and these will sell anyway.

How many more merchants are going to follow in ToysRUs footsteps. Let’s hope it doesn’t happen.

OK, Rant over!

It’s obvious that the Wii Console and accessories will be massive, like they were last year. In addition to the obvious, this game on the Nintendo DS caught our eye. Professor Layton and the Curious Village seems to be high on the agenda.

The game is centered around the mysterious and eccentric world of Professor Layton. The game consists of around 130 logical and lateral problems that are embedded in a compelling storyline. You will be able to get additional puzzles each week via the Nintendo WiFi Connection. This game, as a lot of Nintendo games and consoles seem to be, is aimed at and will challenge players of all ages. You have to find and solve secrets that are hidden in the village of St. Mystere.

The two characters, Professor Layton and his trusty sidekick Luke, have to recover the Golden Apple from somewhere in the village. They must search, find and solve numerous taxing puzzles that together will lead them to the Golden Apple.

So if you have played the game, leave us some feedback and let us know what you think.
