Turn WordPress Into a Powerful Review Site Engine

WP Review Site Plugin: Create Niche Review Sites With WordPress!

The best super-affiliates are raking in tens of thousands of dollars a month running review sites. They’re the perfect affiliate marketing website — fresh content, that you don’t have to write (your visitors do the work for you!), that convinces buyers to pull out their wallets — generating commissions for you!

As the number of affiliate marketers increases, it becomes increasingly important to be the last cookie: the last website a customer visits before making their purchase. Where do customers turn before making the final decision? To reviews!

Our own review site, Award Winning Hosts has pulled in thousands of dollars in affiliate commissions just by letting people review their web hosting companies. Each time someone clicks a link to a host reviewed on the site and signs up, we get paid $100, $150 or more! And this is not luck — do a Google search for web hosts and you’ll see that not only are the top advertisers (paying $5-20 per click) review sites, but the top natural results as well. Search engines love user reviews — just think about how many top results Amazon.com has with all the product reviews they’ve collected.

With WP Review Site, you can turn WordPress into a powerful review site engine, easily creating niche review sites for virtually anything -- review products, services, websites, restaurants, hotels, credit cards, beer! This plugin adds star ratings in categories you define (like "value", "support", "ease of use") to your comment forms, turning them into powerful Amazon-style customer reviews.

WP Review Site, formerly “WP DG Review Site Plugin”, has already been downloaded hundreds of times, and powers many successful review sites. But the all-new version 2.0 has just been released, making it easier to use, and more powerful than ever. You no longer need to know how to edit WordPress themes or change any code -- either use the included complete theme, or turn on "auto embed" to add ratings to your own theme automatically!

Ready to start making money? You can proceed directly to the Buy Now page to purchase the plugin and all the extras it comes with. Or, you can read more about the features this plugin will add to your WordPress-powered site.

Plus, our new version 2.0 includes bonus affiliate marketing tools! These are the same abilities you’d have to pay $67 for elsewhere, adding affiliate link management to your WordPress administration panels. Just specify keywords and WP Review Site will turn them into affiliate links whenever they appear in your posts or pages.

Warrior Forum Members Get $20 Off Any Version!

This plugin is already selling amazingly at the $97 full price because of its incredible potential -- you can make back the investment with your first commission -- but for Warrior Forum members, I'm offering an exclusive $20 discount I'm not offering to anyone else.

To get the discount, you must use this purchase link which has a discount code in the URL. Once you're ready to buy, make sure you come back and use this link and not the normal link on the website. Your copy will be available for instant download:

Note: AWH is a demo of the rating functionality this adds to WordPress, but it uses a custom theme that is not part of the plugin. The plugin does come with a complete widget-ready theme that you can customize to look however you'd like! Plus updates for life and bonus affiliate tools!

Q&A From the Last WSO

Yes you can. If you look at the documentation page on the site, you'll find three sets of install instructions depending on your experience level with WordPress:

1) Use the included theme, which includes the rating code installed already.

2) Use your own theme, and just check off the boxes in the settings to automatically add the ratings features.

3) Use your own theme, and place the code by hand (there are full usage and output examples), giving you maximum ability to customize the appearance and position of the ratings.

No, you have to add the products to review.

On your site, you have a single tab called 'Web Hosting Reviews'.

Can I create multiple tabs - say 'Low cost Hosting Reviews', 'Adult Hosting Reviews' etc etc on the same site?

Is there also an option to load images for each product?

What about an option to moderate comments before it gets posted? I would hate for spammers to flood the site with random posts and links...

Rgds.

Plugins add functionality to WordPress, they don't take any away. You can organize your posts into WordPress categories for the types of reviews, and you can turn on comment moderation in the settings. You can put images into the body of your posts or pages.

So the answer is yes you can do all of that with WordPress and this plugin.

Hi Scott,

If you click the link you'll see there are three licenses available, one being a multi site license that lets you do that.

Kind regards,
Dan

Hello Dan,

it is possible to translate it to other languages? Is there a language File? Or is it in the Source-Code that I have to check every file?

I think when it works on in english it also will work in other areas, right?

THX,

Daniel

The plugin has no text output, it outputs star images and rating categories that you typed into the settings page.

So if you can read the English in the settings page in WP Admin area, you don't have to translate anything.
