You've probably got hundreds of articles
sitting on your hard drive, and you're not doing anything with
them. Why not set up some blogs at Blogger or WordPress and post
a few of those articles every day? Google and the other search
engines index those blogs daily. You get free "Google Juice"
with minimal effort.
 Once
you have told the program about your blogs, you just browse to
any directory containing articles in text, doc, or rtf format.
FIRST CLICK: select an article.
SECOND CLICK: choose a blog.
THIRD CLICK: press the GO button.
That's it. Finished. Now go to your Blogger
account and you will see your article there, formatted and posted
to the blog you chose. With WordPress, you will find the article
in the Edit Posts moderation queue.
 There's more!
This is NOT a simple PHP script that merely
copies a text file to a blog. No, this is an intelligent helper,
a robot at your
command, that can look for keywords
and replace them with your affiliate link! For example, suppose
the article contains the word, "relationship". If you
add Kontera code to the page, Kontera will replace that word
with a hypertext link; if someone clicks on that link, an ad
will appear, related to that word. If the person then clicks
on the ad, you get paid a few cents, with luck as much as 3 cents.
Woop-de-doo! Three cents!
But 3-Click Article Poster can replace
that same text with your affiliate link to a product you want
to promote, for example, an eBook. The keyword "relationship"
then is changed to something like:
<a href="http://cognos.makingup.hop.clickbank.net/"
target="_top">relationship</a>
where "cognos" (which is my ClickBank
ID) would be replaced with your ClickBank ID, and
"makingup" is the vendor's code for the "Magic
of Making Up" eBook. It shows in the article as
and if you are having problems with
your relationship,
you could always
Now when someone clicks on the link, they
are taken to the product sales page, and if they purchase the
product, you make US$24! Affiliate commissions
can be more than 1000 times higher than advertising payouts.
Now we're talking
real money!
And
there's still more!
Every article submitted to your blog can
automatically have a footer attached. That footer can also contain your affiliate
link for any product you want to promote. What's more, 3-Click
Article Poster will scan the article for keywords you specify,
and if found, change the footer based on the keyword.
For example, suppose you have a golf blog
and you want to submit an article. If the article contains the
word "slice", then you want to promote an eBook about
improving your golf slice, but if the article contains "putting",
then you want to promote a different eBook about putting
techniques. In other words, the footer is contextually
relevant. You can define up to six different footers
for each blog, meaning you can promote any of six different products
with any article. Automatically!
And
still more!
Suppose you have 50 articles about golf. Ideally, what you want is to dribble them out
to your golf blog a couple at a time, over many days, not all
at once, because this way the search engines will think you are
an active blogger and will index you faster and give you a higher
score.
3-Click Article Poster allows you to define when you want to submit to
any blog, and how many in one day. So you could say, "only
submit between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM, a maximum of 2 per day, on
Tuesdays", and the 3-Click Article Poster Robot will
follow your instructions, dribbling those articles out at random
times between 9 and 5, over as many days or weeks as necessary
to complete its task.
Frequently
Asked Questions
1. Can I have more than one blog?
Sure, how many do you want? 500? 1000?
No worries, mate.
2. Do articles have to be altered or
pre-edited?
Nope.
3. In what format must the articles
be?
Text (.txt), Word Document (.doc), or Rich
Text (.rtf).
4. Can I preview an article before submission?
Yes, if articles are submitted manually,
there is a preview option, which will allow you to read and edit
the article. If you use Microsoft Word, you can also do a spell
check and a grammar check.
5. I loathe Microsoft Word, can I use
Open Office?
Yes, you can. Or any other word processor.
6. I have an article spinner. Can I
use it?
Yes, in the list of articles, you can right-click
on an article and choose Spin, and 3-Click Article
Poster will invoke your article spinner.
7. Will it run on a Mac? or Linux?
This is a Windows program; it should run
on a Mac or Linux using an emulator, such as BootCamp or Parallels
(Mac) or WINE (Linux). However, I have not tested this. If it
fails, please tell me how and I will either fix it or refund
your money.
8. Do I have to use a word processor
or preview the article?
Nope. If your articles are in good English,
there is no need to preview anything.
How
does it work?
3-Click Article Poster runs its own SMTP mail server, and sends your
article by e-mail to Blogger or WordPress or other blogging
software. It does not require nor use Microsoft Outlook, Outlook
Express, nor any other mail program.
To make this work, you have to tell Blogger
and WordPress the e-mail address you will use; this is unique
to each blog. Blogger and WordPress each has a simple explanation
of how to do this. 3-Click Article Poster sends the selected
article(s) to that e-mail address. If you have 19 blogs, you
will have 19 different e-mail addresses, one per blog, that only
3-Click Article Poster will use. That's how we get the
article from your hard drive into the blog.
If you wish, you can select the Preview
option, and the program will display an editing window where
you can make any changes you want prior to submission. And you
can optionally delete the article from your hard drive after
submission, so you do not inadvertently send it again, or tag
it "Posted" (or whatever) with the date and save it
in a special folder. You can also send the same article to a
different blog.
You can define a footer to be added automatically
to each article posted; this footer can contain any text, including
the URL of a site you want to promote. This footer is different
for each blog. For example, if you have a widgets blog promoting
a widgets site where you sell widgets, you can have a footer
saying something like:
"For more information on widgets, please visit http://www.widgets.com".
Or you could use an affiliate link to a
product at ClickBank, PayDotCom, Commission Junction, or wherever.
You may define up to 6 footers for each
blog, and you can define a keyword which will trigger a particular
footer.
For each blog, you can also define up to
6 "macros", which is text that will be substituted
for a keyword. These should be affiliate links or website links.
3-Click Article Poster gives you the ability to set up 10, 100, 500 blog
sites or more, and post articles to those blogs automatically
with minimal effort, on a continuing basis, running in the background.
Minimum effort, but maximum Google Juice.

Requirements: |
|
3-Click Article Poster runs on a Windows PC. You must have a POP3/SMTP
e-mail account with an ISP; the program does not currently support
web mail services such as HotMail, Gmail, Yahoo Mail, etc.
You must have, or will create, at least
one blog at Blogger.com (or BlogSpot), or have a WordPress blog
hosted at an ISP. Note that blogs at WordPress.com can NOT be
updated by e-mail or any other automated method. If you have
one or more WordPress blogs, verify that they are hosted at an
ISP and NOT WordPress.com.
Articles submitted by e-mail to a blog
at Blogger.com can be posted immediately. You only need to make
one small, minor change to your settings for that blog.
WordPress, hosted at an ISP, accepts articles
by e-mail, but will not actually read the e-mail InBox automatically.
You have to make a small change to one of the template files,
then make a free account at BlogLines to read your RSS feed every
hour or so. Articles then get read from the InBox when BlogLines.com
tickles WordPress to get your RSS feed. Details on how to do
this are in the help file. It is not difficult; this setup takes
less than 5 minutes and is done only once for each blog. |
