Export Links including Categories

There will come a time soon, when you find yourself creating 3, 4 or maybe more blogs all targetting keywords in the same niche, particularly if you are making money with the Commission Ritual methods.

Because WordPress doesn’t advertise the fact that it can export as well as import blogroll links you may well find yourself spending hour after hour copying and pasting links from one blog to the next and then again to the next and so on.

But it doesn’t have to be like that.

There are a couple of plugins which do an excellent job of exporting links.

The first is called Blogroll OPML Export and was suggested to me by Rochelle at Niche Store Strategies Blog.

After downloading, installing and activating the plugin you are prompted to export your blogroll links to a text file (with .opml extension – NOT .txt)

Then you go to your new blog and click on tools/import/blogroll and the plugin will import your blogroll and let you choose which category to place them in.

The second, and my preferred plugin is called ‘Import Blogroll With Categories‘. Not a particularly inspiring name, but the plugin does EXACTLY what it say on the can!

I think it is easier to use as well.

Install the plugin on both blogs.  One the blog which has links, from the links menu click export. You will be presented with a html page of your links in opml format. Highlight and copy the url.

Next, on your new blog, from the links menu click, import.  One the screen that open up paste in the url you copied and hit enter.  Your links are now all imported and categorised.

There are lots of options with this plugin such as creating categories or importing from a saved file etc etc.  But for me it works perfectly out of the box.

Semi-auto deep linking plugin

I’m just trying a new plugin which promises to gather backlinks to the deepest part of your site almost automatically.

It does this by analysing each new post you write thennipping off into the webisphere and finding relevant blogs.  You get to choose which tags you want the plugin to use for the blog search and then you get to choose which blogs that you want to link.

By linking to these other blogs we send a “pingback” notifying their blog’s software that we referrenced them on our website.

It takes time, but deep linking to your site is one of the best ways to maintain rankings.  Google likes to see links to lots of pages on your site, not just the main page.

The best thing about this software is that it is completely free.  Although, I’m not sure how long it will stay free for.

You can download it from here:

Deep Linking Engine

I would suggest giving it a try while it is still free.

UPDATE: Here is a Deep Linking Engine help video which shows how to effectively setup and use the plugin.

How to use Javascript in a post

Let's not mince our words here... WordPress, and most other blogging platforms just don't like JavaScript. And, the truth is, if you can find a way of not using it then do so.

However, there are times when you have no option.

So what do you do?

There are a couple of options. The first is drop a text box widget into the sidebar and paste the code into there. This works fine, but isn't any good if you want to use JavaScript in the body of a post for a Captcha or Auto responder script etc.

I tried lots of plugins, which claim to allow the insertion of JaveScript into a post with varying degrees of success. The one I eventuly settled on is created by Volcano called Inline JavaScript

Once you have installed it here's how to use it: (NOTE - You need to remove the spaces in the brackets - I had to insert them to stop the plugin running!)

[ inline]

< the JavaScript you want to insert >

[ /inline]

If you would like to add any text after your JavaScript enter a line break code < br > followed by your text. eg.

[  inline]

< the JavaScript you want to insert >

[ /inline]

< br >

Your text.

It's simple and it works well. Here's what it looks like in action (and will subscribe you onto my updates list - which I thouroughly recommend :-)   )

    Flexibility 2 to Squeeze Page

    Flexibility 2 is the free version of Flexsqueeze theme from Ryan Hellyer . Now granted, it isn't quite as feature rich as it's paid for cousin, but with a few tweaks and changes you can make it do almost amything you want.

    To change from the standard 2 plus 1 theme that comes out of the box, to make a good squeeze page here is what I do;

    I open up the editor box to 30 lines and then and add TinyMCE advanced plugin.

    Then I make the following changes to the php files.

    To remove comments from pages.
    Remove this line. <?php comments_template(); ?> From Pages.php and main.php

    -----------------------------

    To Remove sidebars add the line:
    #sidebar {display:none;} at the very bottom of style.php Then go into flexibility 2 settings and reduce the right and left sidebars to 0

    -------------------------------

    To remove the navigation bar add the line:
    #nav {display:none;} at the bottom of style.php

    ------------------------------

    If you want to remove all titles, you will need to edit the index.php, single.php, archive.php and page.php files. Just look for the H1 or H2 tags in each page, and remove everything from the opening tag (<h1>) to the closing tag (</h1>).

    The pages are displayed by the page.php file. The posts are displayed by the single.php file. So if you want to remove just the PAGE titles, edit the page.php file. Remove <h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>


    You should be good to go from there.
