Amazon Dodgy link plugin “Amazon affilaite Link localiser”

by 50 Comments

Recently i  installed this link , that says it will  localize your Amazon links   so that the it updates any amazon links  on your website /blog with your amazon id  for that country so that you don’t miss out on  commissions.

 

 

DODGY/ fraud plugins for wordpress

I installed this  plugin and though i would do a check  to see how things are going . to my horor i found that  the  amazon link are pointing to someone else amazon id , which would obiviously be the plugin maker. So i was ytricked into handing over all my commisiions to the  this guy . DO NOT USE THIS PLUGIN  it is  a scam. IT will replace all you   amazon links with this id link “http://www.amazon.com/?_encoding=UTF8&tag=petewill-20” .

[ Author of this plugin has sent me a clarification message , which i have posted at bottom of post ]

check out the pic below

fraud amazon local links plugin

I clicked one of the about links http://petewilliams.info/ and also the id  link that covered mylinks with his links  was “http://www.amazon.com/?_encoding=UTF8&tag=petewill-20”

The plugin ” Amazon Affiliate Link Localizer”

This is totally sneaky and wrong, please do not download this plugin.

  Clarification sent from Plugin author: Pete williams

Hi,

My name’s Pete and I wrote this plugin. It looks like there’s been a bit of a mixup here so I thought I’d try and clear it up for you.

Just to explain, the script does use my affilliate IDs, but *only* where you don’t provide your own. It will never overwrite your IDs, and so will never deprive you of any commission. This is explained on the page on my site for this script, on it’s page in the WordPress Plugin directory and again in the plugin’s readme.txt – so obviously I am not trying to scam anyone:

“DISCLOSURE
If you do not insert your own affiliate IDs the script will use mine. Hopefully this will help fund my book addiction!”

With this in mind, I’d appreciate it if you could update your post to correct the information.

Thanks

Pete

 

My response: I certainly had put my id in  and this was still happening when i had used this plugin , this might have been fixed since then . so you can most certainly  have a look for yourself if you interested in this plugin  and check it outfor yourself if you like.

I recently had the opportunity to meet and get to know a man who made over $9 million in affiliate profits over a four year period. He did it legally and without ANY technical knowledge or formal experience all while working about thirty minutes a day with NO employees.

The Bathrobe Millionaire: Confessions of an Unemployable Job-Hopper Who Made a Fortune without Work, Risk, or Khakis

He’s an ordinary guy like most of us, but found something that worked and ran with it for years. He lived the dream that most of us share: to make tons of money without working very hard or taking too much risk.

After being asked about his story by numerous people he decided to write a book called "The Bathrobe Millionaire". Which chronicles the exact strategies used to make millions of dollars online which is no easy feat. His mission is simply to share his story and hopefully inspire other Internet marketers.

It is not a get-rich-quick book and he does not claim this his strategies will work for everyone, but he does go into detail about what it took for him to earn such incredible cash. Surprisingly, it was simpler than most people would imagine. Get it here –The Bathrobe Millionaire: Confessions of an Unemployable Job-Hopper Who Made a Fortune without Work, Risk, or Khakis

How to achieve life’s goals

by Leave a Comment

Speech by Chetan Bhagat at Symbiosis

Don’t just have career or academic goals. Set goals to give you a balanced, successful life. I use the word balanced before successful. Balanced means ensuring your health, relationships, mental peace are all in good order.

There is no point of getting a promotion on the day of your breakup. There is no fun in driving a car if your back hurts. Shopping is not enjoyable if your mind is full of tensions.
"Life is one of those races in nursery school where you have to run with a marble in a spoon kept in your mouth. If the marble falls, there is no point coming first. Same is with life where health and relationships are the marble. Your striving is only worth it if there is harmony in your life. Else, you may achieve the success, but this spark, this feeling of being excited and alive, will start to die. …….

Chetan-Bhagat life goals books

twitter.com/chetan_bhagat

One thing about nurturing the spark – don’t take life seriously. Life is not meant to be taken seriously, as we are really temporary here. We are like a pre-paid card with limited validity. If we are lucky, we may last another 50 years. And 50 years is just 2,500 weekends. Do we really need to get so worked up? ……

It’s ok to score low in couple of papers, goof up a few interviews, take leave from work, fall in love, have little fights with your spouse. We are people, not programmed devices………" 🙂

"Don’t be serious, be sincere."!!

Specs for Dell xps 15z

  • Intel Core i5 2410M Dual Core CPU (2.90 GHz)
  • 4 GB of DDR3 RAM, a 500 GB 7200 RPM hard drive
