DealDotCom Widget And OnlyWire, 2 WordPress Plugins For Fame And Profit
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 …
OnlyWire Autosubmiter Plugin – was chosen by me to be part of my blog for one simple reason. Every time I post on my blog I manually submit it to OnlyWire and it has already proven to deliver great results, so it only stand to reason to automate this task when opportunity presented itself. I do have to mention that WordPress plugins database contains old version so you want to visit author’s blog for version 2.
What this plugin does – after installing plugin and providing your OnlyWire login in options, every new post on your blog will be autosubmited to this great service that allows you to bookmark to 16 different social bookmarking sites. Nifty and no time investment on your part.
Couple Gotcha’s.
- Plugin is provided as php file but named with *.txt extension. Make sure to rename it to *.php before uploading into plugins directory.
- My file had an extra “return” after the closing php tag (very end of the file. Open file with any editor capable of handling php files and make sure no extra spaces or characters present after > closing bracket.
… now since we automated the task of brining us some extra visitors, how about making some extra cash? I thought you would like that idea!
DealDotCom plugin and Widget work perfectly to help us do just that! (Or so I hope). Idea behind DealDotCom is great – provide a great deal only for one single day and after installing DealDotCom plugin you can simply place Widget on your sidebar and offer the deal of the day to your visitors. See example on my sidebar and click on it to get your own free account.
There are many things already written on DealDotCom and I have no intentions of repeating them and simply state some benefits of having this widget to your blog.
Great deal presented on daily bases and changes, ensuring interests in what is displayed on your widget and I have seen people’s reports on great results from using this site. Obviously it will depend on how well targeted the offer to your particular audience and much traffic you get to see that offer.
On personal note – I found reviews of the products by DealDotCom stuff quite humorous and entertaining. Well worth the visit once in a while even if you have no plans to buy anything just to evaluate the writing style.
So there you have it … two plugins to automate traffic generation task and to monetize that traffic by offering great deal, each and every day.

Hi Alex, found your blog on blogcatalog.
You have a really fantastic blog with a lot of going on here
I don’t dare to show my audience such a small fonts. Does it matter? Have you split-tested?
Recently I’ve found a tool for more fame and profit.
The website Google doesn’t want you to know about
With this monetizing tool you can give Adsense the boot.
Create your own ads and keep all the commissions on any
product. Just copy and paste. It’s unbelievable easy!
Please check it out on my blog: http://www.rolandvarduhn.com
All the best for your product launch!
Roland
Roland,
Thanks for comment. I use a rather standard font and making it bigger will not make information better
Thanks for the tool, I don’t use AdSense of text ads for the most part … I prefer affiliate marketing and or ads that actually pay me a bit more but am sure someone might appreciate your tool. Thanks for sharing.

I have created another Only Wire plug-in. It can be found at Only Wire Plugin.
It is very simple to install. I have to heard of any technical difficulties with it.

Thanks for sharing
My advice is to stay away from onlywire. I’ve been using it for a year, and this is the second times it fails silently on me with Simpy, leaving me to manually adjust the missing links (very tedious) I’ve created for more than 3 weeks.
Emailed them, no answer and no fix after a week.
Silent failure + silent support = stay away from them!!!
In addition to this I’ve just discovered in their terms of service that they ask for permission to add sponsored links to your bookmarks using your login.
You agree to let OnlyWire bookmark the http://www.onlywire.com site AND the OnlyWire Sponsor site on each of the bookmarking services you are participating with. OnlyWire will only bookmark the Sponsor site link one time.
Even more reasons to stay away from them!!!
Thanks for HUP, fmjrey!
You are correct I have found same issue with OnlyWire and had to remove it – idea behind it was good, but executed poorly.
Alex
I use both of those as well – they are great plugins.
As for onlywire – i have been using htem for almost one year – and i’m totally satisfied.. no complaints from me…

Matt,
After this post I actually had to disable OnlyWire as it turned out it was failing to submit my posts properly. I do it manually now.
Hi Alex, I agree about great efficiency of OnlyWire service, but would argue about the OnlyWire plugin.
It has “reward the author button” which gives me consistent error “sorry it didn’t work”. So I presumed that if author couldn’t write the code to reward himself – then this thing has something to fix.
OnlyWire is essential to my business, so I’d rather do it manually now at least till the plugin will work flawlessly.
Thanks for great articles! I stumbled one, and already installed few plugins that you recommended.

Gleb, this post is nearly 10 month old … sorry.
I agree with you but at the time it seemed like a cool idea, although not very well implemented I must admit.

Hey guys,
OnlyWire has been completely re-written, re-lauched as of Jan 1st 2009 and is now fully supported. Our Bookmark & Share button is now serving millions of pages per day. It would be great if you could give it another shot.

All comments are manually approved before you will see them – that was the reason for the trouble.
Also I made an exception for your name, since this is directly related to the info you shared but normally I have a comments TOS that would send this into spam.
