That's because the WordPress Comment Footer plugin randomly selects any ad or HTML/Javascript snippet in a list of your creation for display just below the comment section. This is an area of most blogs that goes unused. Get creative with this one. It's not just for ads, you can put a sign-up form or extra encouragement to comment, etc..

And, the Random Ads Widget similarly picks from a list you populated (right from within the WordPress admin!) so as to keep your advertising fresh. Or you could show your favorite quotes or what have you. As of this post, you'll find it over in the sidebar. It also comes with a handy shortcode for placement of random content within your posts or pages.

Head on over and check out the great package deal I set up for you as well as some fascinating statistics about banner blindness and optimal placement, and screenshots of the settings panels.

Want to see it in action? Here's a little taste...

First, hover over this link and note where it's going.

Now, head back up to the URL and tack on a ?ref=id
where id is your ClickBank affiliate id.

Look at the link again. Notice anything different?

In case you missed it, the actual link in the post changed on-the-fly! Here's what it is in plain text -> http://netkicksta.fapturbo.hop.clickbank.net/ <- This too will update based on the ref URL parameter.

Note: Just because I'm using a ClickBank affiliate link in this example does not mean it's CB-specific. It isn't. You choose the URL parameter names and what you do with them.

OK, allow me to make that last point more clear with another example. How about this? Assuming you still have the ?ref=whatever from the first, now tack on an &n=YourName in the URL for this post and watch the area below...

I like to say, the complete membership solution for RAP just got "completier" — the whole kit... "kaboodlier."

Where the membership addon can hide an entire WordPress installation out of site, the RAP Member WP Plugin fine tunes it, enabling you to cordon off individual posts and pages and even content *within* them, both by membership level and days onboard.

You'll have a micro-continuity site up in no time.

By adding a "ref" parameter to your blog's URL, or any post or page therein, it sets the "aff" cookie for your domain. In the case of Rapid Action Profits (RAP), the sales system I use, the default matches, but I've included simple instructions on how to change it.

This enables your affiliate to simply send traffic to your blog or a favorite post, and if the reader then purchases one of your products, the affiliate gets credit for the sale. The upside is huge for both the shy affiliate (no selling) and the blog and product owner (more traffic).

To see it in action, click on Tools up top or any of the product links along the bottom of the page, signup for my affiliate program, then add http://www.netkickstart.com/blog/?e= to your blogroll. (You'll note it also cloaks the URL, so it doesn't look like an affiliate link!)
