Looking for a WordPress plugin which will convert any WordPress theme into an affiliate review site?  A recently released premium WordPress plugin called WP Review Engine will do exactly that!

The plugin combines with a WordPress theme to make it easy to provide information on a range of product providers (such as insurance providers), with an optional thumbnail image and a button linking out to the provider’s site.  Can you imagine combining this plugin/theme with affiliate links?   That could be quite the revenue generator!

Some other things I like about this theme/plugin combo:

• You can also provide your own rating of each product, with your chosen custom fields to emphasize industry-specific features.
• Those custom fields may also be used within a Comparison Table displayed on the homepage and/or category pages.
• Visitors may also provide reviews of the products with star ratings.

WP Review Engine Plugin Listed Features:

• Ajax star ratings for comments / testimonials (definable by individual post or by category)
• Site Editor’s rating
• Optional Links to Thumbnail Images & Affiliate Link URLs
• Add Custom Fields to Posts to suit content
• Comparison Table Management
• Auto Generation of Comments
• SEO Friendly
• Compatible with any WordPress Theme (auto embed star ratings, custom fields, and thumbnail images)
• Control Order of Posts (Order by Rating, Comment numbers or Entry Date)
• Custom Sidebar Widgets (Top rated posts and Most recent comments)
• API for customization of ratings positioning, custom field usage, external links, post thumbnail images, etc.
• CSV import

Here is a sample of how the two themes (that come with the plugin) look:

Are you looking for another way to monetize your WordPress blog?   In the past we’ve talked about a new premium WordPress plugin called Auction Thumbs.   It seems people are quickly discovering just how much money can be made online with the eBay affiliate program, so it is no surprise to me that competitors are quickly popping up.  The latest premium WordPress plugin to offer this type of functionality is the PHP Bay Pro.

PHP Bay Pro lets you take advantage of the 80 million auctions on eBay by adding relevant auctions to your WordPress blog.   When users click on the auctions, they are in turn taken to that exact auction on eBay.   Then once people buy ANY item on eBay, you earn a commission, even if it wasn’t what you referred them for.  In fact, you get commission for any auctions won over the next 7 days by that person.   And in case that wasn’t good enough, if someone signs up for an eBay account within 7 days of clicking on your eBay auction link, you also get a very nice commission (can be as high as $40.00 I believe, but usually around $15.00 each).

Here is the feature list that comes with PHP Bay Pro:

• Earn revenue through the Ebay Partner Network or other popular programs like PepperJam, Mediaplex, TradeDoubler or Affilinet!
• Add keyword rich Ebay items to your php based web site that encourage impulsive buys!
• Easily Integrate into any New or Existing WordPress Blog!
• Thousands of free Wordpress templates available across the web to create virtually any type of site!
• Not Javascript based! Auction listings are 100% pure html based creating additional targeted content for your site!
• List auction items regionally from 17 different countries!
• List items by postal code (zip code) for localized results.
• List items from specific Ebay categories.
• Listings displayed in language and currency of selected country.
• Listings displayed in rows or specified number of columns for a Web 2.0 look and feel!
• Access to our active members only forum that offers a tremendous value in how to get more out of phpBay Pro, strategies, tips and tricks and much more!
• Use on as many sites as you own! phpBay Pro is not limited to one domain. It can be used on one, or hundreds of sites with one license!
• Comprehensive user manual with illustrations, in PDF format, for both the WordPress version and the API version, that will walk you through, step-by-step, to install and get working quickly with phpBay Pro!
• Upgrades are free for the life of the product! phpBay Pro is nearly two years old with three major upgrades made with suggestions from our user base!

One thing I will say is that if you are considering buying this premium WordPress plugin, make sure the topic your WordPress blog(s) covers will convert well on eBay.  Product based websites which cover something that is often bought on eBay seems to convert the best (electronics, pictures, etc.).   If your blog covers free products or some sort of service, chances are using a WordPress plugin like this won’t be worth your effort and will annoy your readers.

If you decide you’re interested in PHP Bay Pro, you’ll want to buy it soon.   It is currently available for only $79.00, but it appears they plan to raise this price in the near future.   If you’ve tried this plugin before, write your review in the comments!

Have you ever wanted to run one of those review websites you see popping up all over the place?  They’ve been sprouting up all over the place over the past year and you may be wondering how people are building these sites so easily.   WordPress users now have the option of creating these sites with a single premium WordPress plugin and premium theme called WP Review Site!

With this premium theme and plugin combination (you get both with your purchase), you can easily create a bunch of small niche review sites by simply uploading and activating the plugin/theme combination!  The theme has everything setup upon activation, so there is no need for you to do anything manually.

WP Review Site Premium Plugin Features:

• JavaScript star rating system added to comment forms
• Posts sorted by weighted average
• Works for posts or pages
• Powers an entire website, or just selected parts of it
• Horizontal/List or Vertical/Table displays
• WordPress Affiliate Link Management
• Complete Premium WordPress Theme
• Admin panel integration (Ratings show up in comment moderation screens, and only approved comments influence the average ratings displayed on any post or page.)
• Free Upgrades for Life

Here is a sample of how WP Review Site will look using the default theme that comes with the plugin:

Single Use Package: $97.00 | Multi Use Package: $199.00 | Developer Package: $299.00
