Why I chose hostgator for blog hosting

June 4, 2022 by admin 6 Comments

[Post updated 04 June 2022] – I already had hosting with Bluehost , Dreamhost , Godaddy and Pressidium (left) and was looking for another alternative for one of my Australian blog to get a wordpress webhost . I was searching for one that is good and still cheap for my blog.

With hundreds of different web hosting companies in this industry, choosing the right one can be difficult. The top three and most recommended web hosting companies at this time were HostGator, BlueHost and DreamHost.[article originally published prior to 2014]

Google Searching on the internet for something, can lead to paralysis by doing too much analysis and so after realising that, I write this post. It can take ages with so much information overload on the internet by thousands of bloggers all having their own view of things.

It can be particularly time consuming searching the web, when you are searching for a hosting service for blogs/websites, because the internet is filled with recommendations for different website-hosting service providers.

The Servers at Hostgator Hosting

Webhosting is all about quality servers ,where your website lives. HostGator sites are hosted in Dual Xeon servers at Dallas. top-of-the-line Dual Xeon in their data centers at Dallas. The data centers are well equipped and connects to 10 backbone providers. Also, HostGator invest millions of dollars every year in new technologies for better performance. They have about 12,000 servers under management at Houston, Texas in the US.

Yes finding a web host is not an easy task. It is important that you get a good web hosting provider if you plan to host many blogs or websites on that server. Always look out for specials on events , but if you cant wait then below are some deals for you, at this stage I am liking hostgator as they have a reputable name for hosting with wordpress websites and good service. [Updated I am now with hostgator, godaddy and bluehost for 10+ years and a thankful customer to them all]

Updated deal/discount links below

HostGator’s rich shared hosting packages offer unlimited storage, email, and monthly databases that give business plenty of room to grow. In short, it’s the best service we’ve reviewed for shared hosting packages. As a result, HostGator is our Editors’ Choice pick for shared web hosting services.

Good blog hosting is hard to find

I chose to do some research and found “Hostgator” mentioned in many blogs so I decided to research it. First off course is the price factor and so I checked their prices for hosting

I hadn’t really browsed around forums all that much for hosting before but I knew it would be a place where people were actually talking about why they like or dislike particular hosting companies something and that made a lot of sense.

Prices for Hostgator hosting (2022 Deals)

Here is a list of the pricing for all the shared hosting plans based on a monthly basis.

· Hatchling: Perfect for single blog (4.95$/mo)

· Baby Plan: Perfect for multiple Blogs ( 7.95$/mo)

· Business: Multiple Blogs + Private IP + Toll free Number (12.95$/mo)

Special deal 2.95 a month

By using different webmaster forums to find which hosting companies other people preferred to use, I found out that apart from Bluehost and Godaddy and other hosters – the overall verdict was Hostgator.

HostGator uses cPanel, the most used control panel. You don’t need the help of a geek to use it as its quiet straightforward and simple . It provides everything you need. It is important to have a user friendly interface and these one-click script installers are a boon to all newbies who do not have much experience with these platforms. 1 Click install can help you create a blog in 10 to 15 minutes

The cPanel dashboard is user-friendly and there is a Live chat support available 24/7. You can also contact Hosgtagor on their customer support hotline: 1-866-96-GATOR.

If you are happy to be more adventurous and choose something other than WordPress for your website, you can also use your hostgator hosting account to install JOOMLA, DRUPAL or MAGENTO (which are all website software similar to wordpress)

Joomla Hosting

HostGator fully supports Joomla, a very powerful and customizable CMS. A wide variety of plugins allow for increased functionality, ensuring your website remains scalable and dynamic for years to come.

Magento Hosting

Start selling online today with your own E-commerce store powered by HostGator and Magento. HostGator’s Business plan gives you everything you need to automatically install Magento, as well as a free dedicated IP and private SSL to accept credit card transactions right from your website.

Drupal Hosting

Develop your website on the Drupal CMS with HostGator! Drupal provides a high level of customization and control over the look and feel of you site. The numerous themes and plugins that are available allow for nearly limitless options.

Features Comparison- Plans and Pricing

HostGator has three web hosting plans, namely the hatching plan, the baby plan and the business plan. The hatchling plan being the basic one which allows you to host only one domain, while the rest can host unlimited domains.

The other good option I liked over here at hostgator was that Customers are not required to sign up for any contract longer than month to month service. They also have Web Hosting With support 24/7 Support Via Phone, Live Chat, and Email!

I also found out that According to Inc. Magazine, HostGator it is the 21st fastest growing private company in America With their current pricing it looks quite good as well –> Unlimited Domain Hosting Only $9.95 a Month so I decided to give them a shot.

4 Ways Technology Is Bringing Academia Out of the Stone Age

August 18, 2020 by admin Leave a Comment

It is the year 2020. We are at the start of a new decade, so shouldn’t our schools be loaded with technology by now? Shouldn’t our students be entering virtual classrooms, using floating white boards, and using replicators to generate their school meals? Despite classrooms not looking like a scene from Back to the Future, technology is nestled in a great many facets of modern education.

How to Incorporate Technology into Education in a Meaningful Way

The first step would be to stop trying to buy higher test scores. There is no piece of

equipment or computer software that is going to make a student perform better.

Just because a computer is faster, it doesn’t mean a student will work harder

or learn more. If you are going to incorporate technology into education, and

you plan for it to have a meaningful impact, then it should affect these

qualities within student life:

● Efficiency

● Security

● Convenience

● Availability

Affecting these factors may not push up grades, but it will remove the hindrances and

barriers students experience in order to achieve higher grades.

1. Affecting Efficiency with Technology

Starting simply, if colleges and universities are allowing the use ofcloud computing and data centers, then students who are taking highly technical classes need not worry about rendering times, compiling and decompiling. In fact, the whole idea of having to reserve a server for such jobs will be gone because all the work would happen off site. Students who are working on 3D animation can click to send their work to a cloud computing service, and then log off and

let the upload run itself while somebody else uses the computer. The same is true for people making apps, detailed CAD renders, making websites, computer programs and so forth.

There are also many otherefficiency elements that could be added. These include elevators in dorms, automatic doors and energy-efficient air conditioning. More expensive tools may also help students become more efficient. For example, a student working on something artistic will be able to draw and correct work more quickly on a fast-paced computer system with a pen and pad, rather than having to hide layers out of SVG files while using a stylus and drawing tablet.

2. Affecting Security

Guns are not the problem, nor is violence in the media, or the lack of safe spaces, or

even the liberal groups that convince students they are special. The problem with security in college is (and always has been) unpreparedness. Some of the USA’s biggest school-related shooting tragedies have been due to a lack of preparedness. This is both before and during the event, especially in cases where police procedure wouldn’t allow officers to rush into a scene to save screaming kids.

Technology is not a magic wand, but it is pretty effective when it comes to security. Imagine how many lives would have been saved in past tragedies if schools could electronically lock down doors at will rather than allowing bad people to stalk the halls with guns. Imagine the lives saved if metal detectors had been mandatory at all entrances, and how many crimes would have been resolved and prosecuted if car tracking devices and traffic control devices were installed on all college grounds. Plus, there are many facets tocyber security that may be installed to help slow the numbers of students being scammed without having their details stolen for use in various frauds and/or confidence scams.

3. Affecting Availability

Colleges and universities are spending massive amounts of money to cover what are actually

scandalous course fees. At the very least, an investment in technology should affect availability. Hopefully, the days of having to book time in computer rooms have gone. Hopefully, we are entering an era where only the most sophisticated and expensive technology has a waiting time, such as high powered telescopes and bio scanning machines.

4. Affecting Convenience

Again, things like elevators, automatic doors and efficient air condition systems are

going to help make life more convenient in colleges, but there are other ways that technology can make a student’s life more convenient. For example, the introduction of intranets has been a big help, as is the ability to submit essays from anywhere in the world. Students can write their own essays and then submit their essays from the other side of the world, without having to worry about being on campus on a certain day in order to hand in an essay.

Technology can also make university administration easier in countless ways. For starters, college administrators have been using predictive analytics to help them improve student retention numbers.As it turns out, there tend to be clear warning signs that university students are at risk of failing to complete their degrees. Predictive analytics can help administrators to identify these warning signs; they can then implement beneficial interventions with the goal of helping the at-risk students remain in school rather than dropping out.

Some universities maintain fleets of vehicles to facilitate campus operations. Technology is empowering the managers of university fleet services to reduce fraud, minimise accounting hours and better track the behaviours of each individual who is entrusted with vehicles from the fleet. These particular benefits are widely available to fleet managers who are using fuel cards whose providers are utilising these technologies. You can check out the Fuel Card Report website if you’re interested in comparing the benefits made available by card providers in Australia.

Support learning may also enjoy a boost from technology. We already have systems where students can shoot off a question on a public forum about essays and exams, and then have the correct professor reply to them. This could be improved further with support teaching via web chat and other online features.

Why SEO Copykat can save you time

December 30, 2017 by admin 6 Comments

You might be wondering what is really “SEO COPYKAT” , its not just a term I made up to grab your attention, But it actually works.

At no point should competitive SEO analysis be about copying someone else’s SEO tactics or backlinks. Instead of copying, use it for inspiration, new ideas and a better understanding of what Google values and what you can do better than your competitor.

Copying the SEO’s

(this method) Its sneaky but not illegal – because you are just using information that’s already freely available to everyone on the internet. SEO COPYCAT is just a method of copying what the popular top bloggers are already doing to make their blog a success and earning heaps of cash and doing the same on your website, but in your own way and not plagiarising.

So what we are really doing here is focusing on some money making and popular blogs and copying common strategies that work which is used by them.

They are many top and reputed bloggers who earn 100’s of Dollars $$$ in money in a month or even day and also reveal how they did it on their blogs, but do you really believe they have told you all or revealed all their secrets?

Nope !! yeh that’s right if they did tell you everything, everyone would be making a million dollars!

But fortunately blogs or websites that are online and published as such, cannot hide much – except for maybe a bit of secret code or plugin here and there and backlinks that they have blocked if any to google and the internet.

The main secret of most top bloggers are in their blogs for the world to see by google and also by you. They are many tools available to let you see their backlink profile, the traffic and the sources of that traffic to thier blog, thier social media ranking , their top ranking keywords etc to find out how they are ranking and banking online.

The people who are able to see the real secrets by analysing these famous blogs can be winner’s sooner than the rest of the general public and be on their way to financial freedom.

It is not hard to see what they are doing based on onpage and offpage SEO on their sites and even analyse their backlink structure. Some tools that may help you find out what top bloogers or competitors are doing are software like Ahrefs ( paid membership) , Semrush (paid monthly membership) and SEO PowerSuite that is standalone Desktop software(NO monthly membership – one off payment)

Guest Posting is good

So what I have noticed, after the recent EVIL Google Animal Updates (panda-penguin) is that these bloggers and many of my favourite bloggers are suddenly getting heaps of guest posts on their blogs .

This means possibly two things “ either Google prefers or likes blogs that are updated more regularly or then the blogging scene is getting more competitive and so more regular content is needed to keep your traffic steady and improving”. ( hint..hint)

Some of my favourite SEO Gurus that I would recommend checking out in 2018 for SEO tips is listed below

https://backlinko.com
https://neilpatel.com
https://chasereiner.com
https://diggitymarketing.com/blog/

See what they are doing in their own blogs and learn from those online live websites

Trends in Earning money or making money

The other trend that is growing is that many popular bloggers have now becoming more of a salesman and less of a blogger like on of the blog i follow of chris guthrie for eg , which proves that Selling software and plugins means earnings $$$$ .

There are still many who are true to the blogging game ( giving their audience value) and prefer to blog, but that possibly because they got some back up site or biz making them their money.

Another trend i have noticed recently and so have you is that suddenly everybody is talking about EBOOKS because that is also where the new money is , The smartphone market is booming and so is the tablet market so go ahead and make that ebook that you were planning to make and “make some money”

A classic example of a blog that is doing really good with guest posts and raking in the $$$ with their massive traffic is Daily Blog tips

2018 SEO Update

This blog post needed a bit of a recent update, so below are a few tips to check SEO needed for your blog in your niche.

Do a Search for your keyword and see the top ten results in google.
Analyse Site titles and descriptions for top ten competitors and make better ones for yours (

Meta Tag Analyzer – SEOCentro)
Check their back links and link structure (do follow, no follow, edu links etc ) and follow same or better ratio and test. SEMRUSH and Ahrefs tools will help with this.
Check keyword density in competing page for keyword and adjust yours.
Check your content quality of writing/article against top competitors and improve
Check content length of your article against others and compare
Check UX Design, Responsivesness, Font size , https url , Speed loading of site, layout of blog and other factors against yours to compare and make yours better.
Now check all these factors with other top search engines in mind like Bing search and yahoo

Good Luck !!

And keep checking back for the series on SEO and continuation post for this post and if you want to check out what your competitors are upto .

And maybe these tools featured in search engine land will give you some nice tips as well to help you in your SEO process.

Ralph Willgoss: Industry Expert Profile

February 27, 2017 by admin Leave a Comment

February 22, 2016

Once a month we’ll be catching up with an industry expert to gain insight into what it’s like working in a particular industry.

This month we’ve turned our focus to IT and interviewed Ralph Willgoss, a Cloud Services Engineer for a video game developer located in the United Kingdom. Ralph commenced his career developing large corporate websites that featured Ecommerce and Content Management. Prior to shifting to the video game industry, he worked in financial services developing online banking and trading programs.

His qualifications include:

– Bachelor of Commerce, Computer Programming and Financial Analysis

– Java Developer – Java Developer Course

– Cloudera Certified Hadoop Developer, Hadoop Developer Certification

We chatted to Ralph about this current position, what it’s like to work in software development, and how he got his start in this broad but dynamic industry.

If you’re already in IT, do you have any words of wisdom for students thinking about transitioning into the industry?

Upskilled: What does your job involve?

Ralph: My current job involves writing and enhancing Cloud services and associated infrastructure for an online computer game.

In terms of a typical day, I develop software following a process known as Agile software development. First thing in the morning we have what’s called a stand-up – a meeting where we have a quick overview of what we did yesterday, what we’re going to do today, and if we’re blocked in anyway. Then across a typical day I might write new software features, meet with other teams to design new features, or fix issues that have been reported.

Upskilled: Where did you acquire the knowledge to undertake this role? Was it through tertiary education, or was it through work experience?

Ralph: The knowledge I have at the moment is all stuff I’ve learned on the job, all based on experience I’ve had while working. The study I undertook beforehand provided me with the foundations and concepts.

Upskilled: Could you provide us with a summary of your job history? We’re interested in understanding how you got to where you are today.

Ralph: My first job in IT was when I received a contract to update a company’s website back in the mid-nineties. That’s how I started. I got into that more deeply and started working for a digital agency where we built entire websites – big corporate website creation is probably a good way of describing it. Here I focused on building large scale Ecommerce and Content Managed websites.

Upskilled: IT is broad, it’s complex, and it’s always changing. How do you stay educated in your role? Do you undertake new courses through tertiary education, or do you keep abreast by reading journals, magazines and speaking with people?

Ralph: I do a lot of focused reading. There’s so much coming out everyday – new everything. I focus on the areas in which I work and want to work.

Then I moved into building online banking and trading systems. And now, here I am, in computer gaming.

Upskilled: So do you refer to any specific newsletters or websites?

Ralph: Due to the number of websites and new content released every day, I get sent a daily digest of what’s going on in my specific part of the software ecosystem. That helps me keep an eye out for topics I’m interested in learning more about. Second to that, I listen to podcasts in the area of software development in which I work.

Upskilled: What are the big growth areas for IT?

Ralph: That’s a tough question as there are so many growth areas in IT at the moment. Certainly, Big Data/Data Science and Machine Learning are definitely in a growth phase. Cloud Computing and Cyber Security are other areas growing rapidly too.

Upskilled: Do you find the industry to be cyclical?

Ralph: I’d say it moves with the business cycle, although there have been times when the industry, for example with the dot-com boom, had its own cycle. There could be many other smaller IT cycles within the business cycle.

Upskilled: What is it about software development that makes the job right for you?

Ralph: There’s a certain satisfaction in designing, creating and watching what you have built come to life. It also involves problem solving, a process I enjoy.

Upskilled: What sort of work-life balance have you been able to achieve?

Ralph: Over the years I’ve got used to the nature of project-based work, so everywhere I’ve worked has always provided a good work-life balance. There’s a give and a take. At the beginning of a project, time is very flexible. Towards the end, where things can change for any number of reasons, more work may be required and I know we’ll need to put in more effort to get it over the line.

Upskilled: Finally, what’s the secret to your success in IT?

Ralph: With IT it can be really hard to get your start. If you don’t have existing skills, it’s competitive. The trick is to get skills in an area and that will allow you to break in. That’s one formula. Whether that’s through networking or even teaching yourself. And then you have to make yourself known to employers.

Find out what your preferred employers need. This is where I come back to networking, it could even be cold calling and saying ‘I want to get into this area, what do I need to do?” Sometimes it might appear as a closed shop, but on the other side, it’s a case of trying to find people with the right skill set.

It’s not just software skills; it’s finding people with soft skills. They’re really important. You can be the smartest person in the room, but if you cannot communicate to those around you, your intelligence will not be appreciated or put to good use.

7 New Cool gadgets at CES Technology show 2017

February 7, 2017 by admin 4 Comments

Yes 2017 is here and there is a lot of innovation happening in the technology space. If you have not heard of the new car with no steering wheel and the machine that automatically does the ironing and folding of clothes for you, then you are not up to scratch with your tech news.

Here are some more interesting innovating gadgets unveiled at the CES show this year.

The automated ironing machine that can do the dull and drab work of ironing and folding your clothes right is called fondimate and is available for USD $850 dollars.

It just got unveiled at the CES show in Las Vegas, Nevada USA…. It not only steams and presses your shirt but also folds it neatly.

This lady who won the million dollar lotto and said the first thing she would do is hire somebody to do the ironing would surely be interested in this. Here it is:

FoldiMate laundry robot

Above: FoldiMate folds your laundry. Image Credit: FoldiMate

FoldiMate is the womens and mens ultimate dream gadget. It has created a robot that will fold your laundry. Foldi Mate’s machine does this all when you clip your clothes onto a slot on the machine (this is just the bit that takes some work). The robot then pulls the clothing over a board and steams it, then folds it. Thats it done. Too easy.

You need this now! It takes the robot about just about 10 seconds to fold one item, and it has a capacity of about 15 to 20 items which is quite good and will save you quite some time. Once this smart little robot machine is finished with the whole load of clothes, it neatly delivers out the folded clothes for you to remove and stack or use. The machine is said to cost around $850 or so.

Next :

The Car with no steering wheel

The company that is so confident about its auto driving car that they haven’t put in a steering wheel is the auto giant ford. ITS not launched yet, but its not too far away with current technology advances and will be released in 2021.

Ford plans to build a fully autonomous vehicle without a steering wheel or pedals by 2021, the company announced. The vehicle will be aimed at ride-hailing and ride-sharing fleets.

The motor vehicle wont have steering wheel, brake or gas pedals, offering full Level 4 self-driving features which don’t require a human driver at all

Well ironing automated gadgets and cars that have no steering wheels is not the only breakthroughs of 2017.

This new retro kind of cool gadget just released will definitely make the romantics happy. It’s called the love box (don’t ask) , what it does – ok then i will tell you…

Love box:

The LoveBox was invented by a French guy who missed his wife. She wasn’t as tech minded as him and didn’t like Skype or WhatsApp calling methods, and so he thought about a more convenient and romantic alternative to send messages between the two of them.

The sender using love box can type a small message for the receiver to see on a mirrored surface. The box heart spins when there’s a new message and the message is delivered. It will cost $120, with shipping starting in June 2017.

I love cars and this 2017 release from Toyota sure caught my fancy :

Toyota Concept-i

The future of cars is self-driving cars, but Toyota wants to give you more than that. The Concept-i vehicle shown at CES 2017 show would be capable of driving autonomously, with its biggest draw is the smart artificial intelligence that powers it.

Toyota claims the car learns to be smarter with this smart car being able to learn more about the drivers’ preferences and needs over time as you interact with it more just like a human being. By learning more it can start to suggest destinations after a driver chats with it and more features are going to be added as this unfolds and updates. This vehicle’s virtual assistant also got a name – not siri 2 – its called “Yui.”

Gadgets I crave and I could not , not feature this amazing drone from parrot.They make amazing drones and this ones a bit special.

BEST OF INNOVATIONS: DRONES AND UNMANNED SYSTEMS

The POWERUP FPV – Paper Airplane VR Drone from parrot

This was released by parrot as part of their POWERUP TOYS release

They had a stall at Booth #50801

The gadget PowerUp FPV lets you experience flight as if you were sitting in the cockpit of your very own paper airplane creation. This takes the virtual reality to another level with its ingenuity. The airplane generates a live video stream to the included VR cardboard Viewer.

You can see what your plane sees, and also control your paper drone with intuitive movements of your head making it soar higher that you expected. You need to get this!

What not to love about this laptop ?

I still am in search for the perfect laptop, i got a DELL laptop last year – but im due for an upgrade and change and this one makes me takeout my wallet!!

Razer Project Valerie – The gamers/hackers laptop

This will turn out to be many peoples dream laptop. It’s got the power and also the screens to go with it.

When you’re using a laptop for doing work, playing video games, Hacking code or streaming Netflix , one screen isn’t just enough. So why settle with two and instead have three?

Razer’s Project Valerie concept new dream computer laptop does just that by adding two screens to your laptop. These screens are foldable and have displays that expand out from the main screen in the centre. The screens are 17 inches diagonally and supports the newest 4K resolution

The good thing is that the company says the screens can be used independently or together as one giant display. Theta all to pro – the only con is – It weighs 12 pounds, which is more than the average notebook but more closer to top end gaming laptops.

Dont Be cruel to your family Jewels

There is something for everyone at the CES technology and gadgets show an this one is amazing and Men Only . Nah Not CES release seriously, but indiegogogo

Spartan: the anti-radiation boxer shorts

INDIEGOGO

Smartphones have become popular beyond belief and its takes over the phone world so much so, that we can’t do without one in everyday life. The thing that is on everyone’s corner of the mind, but not many people talk about is radiation from phones.

People have started to put their smart phones in their back pockets or front pockets at the risk of it slipping off and falling or getting lost, but he radiation fear still persists in the corner of your mind.

Spartan has developed a undergarment that looks to shield any man’s family jewels from this modern dilemma. It’s called the Spartan Boxer Briefs and these special undergarments feature anti-radiation tech that aim to protect men’s health and fertility. It does this by creating an electromagnetic shield that blocks wireless radiation from cellphone and WiFi signals.

This technology in the garment works on the same principle as a microwave but keeping the radiation out instead of inside. The technology definitely teaches you not to be cruel to your family jewels

USB DRIVES JUST GOT SUPER UPGRADED

One of the other gadgets that is close to my heart and got released recently is a gadget by Kingston. I collect USB drives! I think that company is a south korean company, they have quality stuff and I have bought from them before. They just released a 2 terabyte USB drive , daymm ! I mean 2 TERABYTE in a small little USB that’s amazing.

The company has created a 2TB pocket flash drive (also available in 1TB), called DataTraveler Ultimate GT (Generation Terabyte). This is now the world’s largest capacity USB flash drive. Data Traveler Ultimate GT offers superior quality being made of a zinc-alloy metal casing for shock resistance.

Specs of Kingston Drive

Capacities1: 1TB, 2TB
Speed: USB 3.1 Gen. 1 (USB 3.0)
Dimensions: 72mm x 26.94mm x 21mm
Operating Temperature: -25°C to 60°C
Storage Temperature: -40°C to 85°C
Warranty: 5-year warranty with free technical support
Compatible with: Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7 (SP1), Mac OS v.10.9.x+, Linux v.2.6.x+, Chrome OS

But then its Korea, they had 1 terabyte pcs.. when we were still selling pcs with 200 gb in the shops 10 years ago (my Korean flatmate 10 years ago said so and had one)

The CES show is one of the biggest technology shows in the world and most big companies worth their money showcase their new breakthrough products in this show. Look out for the 2018 show next year! This year among other things, there was a lot of focus on self driving cars and home robots as well.

How to embed your Amazon Astore in wordpress or blogger blog

January 18, 2016 by admin 12 Comments

I needed to integrate a “AMAZON ASTORE” into a self hosted wordpress site as a test on one of my websites. I trawled and searched the internet for ways to best put in the “amazon astore” to match my blog theme and design of this blog. [updated 18 jan 2016]

I came across this site “ Robin Maluau – rockstar now geek” and “ Kristella’s blog” that gave me some useful but more technical tips. These tips could probably wont make sense to some , as you ned to have some technical knowledge to understand their jargon. Since they had published those useful posts and tips for getting a Amazon store to work with wordpress and blogger , blogger and wordpress itself has changed and got updated. These updates to new versions have made “integrating you amazon Astore into your blog or website more easy” than ever.

Before i got much deeper into creating a Amazon store within your blog –

Here is some basic info on amazon store and making money

An amazon store is a quick store that you can build online for free with amazon to sell products and earn a commission when a product gets sold. You need to register with amazon as a affiliate to get this started. You dont need to make a Amazon store to sell products, you can just insert your affilaite link to the product on your blog or website and if a person clicks on that links and buys something you earn a commission.

How Do I Get Started?

1. If you are not a member of the Associates program, start by joining the program.
2. If you are already a member of the Associates program, visit the aStore section of Associates Central.

So, I had the job of updating this wordpress blog/website “www.australianpropertymarket.com.au” with a Amazon product store, so I did a bit of research on the internet and found many articles – some useful – most outdated. I decided to work it out on my own and managed to get a Amazon store nicely working with wordpress, just by copying and pasting code provided by amazon into wordpress. Its that simple now !! ( however this task was made easy with my blog theme solostream – which has integration options to make this task easier )

Integrating Amazon A store Into wordpress / Blogger

or

How to make a amazon store in WordPress ?

I will show you how to integrate “your amazon store” in few easy steps with a basic wordpress site .

Make sure you change the theme while making the amazon astore to match your store theme colours.

I am assuming that you already signed up as a affilaite with amazon and can now create a Astore through your account .

Next Step.

Create the Astore in amazon and get the inline frame embed link like above.

Click the html/text button where you write content and paste the embed code you got from amazon into the page Next – Click save

Now go to page attributes on your right and switch the page template column to “page template – no sidebars” so that your amazon sidebar is the only sidebar that’s seen on the theme.

Some themes block this feature to not have the regular sidebar option , and you might have to mess around further with their code to get this option installed or then just get the Solsotream theme that I use it will make the process easier) .

Here is another example of australian book website page on a standard wordpress template but without the Amazon sidebar ( adjusting the width and height dimension in the inline embed frame code of amazon will get you this type of amazon page) .

You can check out the example link below for the Full amazon astore embed page in the word press website on propertymarket website

The theme used on the Australian property website is the same theme that is being used by my blog as well and you can get a $10 discount currently on this solostream theme , Solostream Themes are quite robust and SEO friendly and I do recommend them, you can read a review of some of the themes i recommend over here , but Solostream themes has been one of my favorites for years.

Create word press Amazon page

Y0u can further mess around with the amazon code for width and height and change size as necessary or then change the page attributes while generating the embed code Or manually to suit your design. You can also place a link on your blog menu to your “amazon page” to promote it.

You can follow a similar way to get this “amazon page on blogger” . I will post a tutorial how to integrate Amazon Astore on blogger when i get some spare time.

You can check out the result here at the property market website & another example of the Investor property book store page

All the best and let me know if you run into any problems implementing this. You can comment below or get in touch with me via contact form if you need any help setting this up.
