WordPress Web 2.0 Spot-Er

Introduction of native tags system in [tag-tec]WordPress 2.3[/tag-tec] generated a storm of questions from many bloggers. In fact this is one of the most useful features outside of faster java processing that made me upgrade to new version.

I have taken a leap and performed an upgrade of my blog to WordPress 2.3. I wish I could say everything was rosy but unfortunately it wasn’t so. Even with proper preparation and investigation and research there were several things worth noting.

There are many arguments on importance of page rank to your blog but the fact still remains - higher your page rank, more chances you have to monetize your blog. It is not something we need to agree or disagree on as it is simple statement of facts. Unfortunately Page rank is still considered one single most important factor that affects your earnings, especially for a blog.

I’m all about automation and in this post I want to discuss two very specific things that automate critical tasks for me: Automating Social Bookmarking via OnlyWire Autosubmiter to bring traffic and Automating monetization via DealDotCom plugin and Widget.

Both DealDotCom Widget and OnlyWire Autosubmiter are brand new additions to my blog, so my post here more deals with expectations and promises as well as my reasoning behind the choice, rather then solid facts. Sorry, it is simply too early to state any facts as I don’t have any data to support it with …
