WordPress Amazon Associate PlugIn – For Amazon Affiliates

Kam Kay — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 21:59:44 +0000

I have a few websites where I review Amazon Products. It was real pain to insert the Amazon Affiliate text and image links in those posts. Many a times, I lost revenue just because I did not have those affiliate links in my posts. Sounds familiar?

If yes, then you too need a plugin that automatically inserts links in your posts.

While doing my research, I came across WordPress Amazon Associate PlugIn that does the job for you. It allows you to easily insert links and Amazon widgets with your associate ID into your posts and sidebar of your blog. You can even insert links and images in individual blog posts.

Here is how it works.

Note: This is for WordPress blogs, I do not know if something similar is available for Blogger.

Login to Your Amazon Associates account, assuming you already have one. If you do not have an account, you can join Amazon Associates and apply for one;

Once you are signed up, click on “Manage Your Account” or Security Credentials;

Click on Access Credentials, you will see your unique “Access Key” and Show for “Security Key”;

Go to Show to access your Security Key;

Now, you have the two values you are required to fill in the WordPress-Amazon-Associate PlugIn

Over to your blog now,

Install the WordPress-Amazon-Associate plugin to your WordPress blog. Once activated, it will show up in your left menu sidebar.

Click on Settings, and add your Associate Tag. If you are in North America, it should have 20 at the end of your Associate Tag

Next you have to fill Amazon Web Services Settings. This is where you have to fill in the Access Key and Security Key, the values we obtained from Amazon Web Services after loggin into Amazon Associates Account. Click on “Update Settings”. Once you insert the correct values, they will be verified for validation.

That’s it. You are ready to insert Amazon Text and Widgets in your blog postings.

You will see an additional tag in your editor. In your widgets area, you will see additional options to add Amazon Widgets.

So, go ahead. Add those Amazon Text Links and Amazon Widgets. Do not leave any money on the table!

Your No.1 Source On Homemade Water Filters

In this time and era, when we need the most to contribute to save our environment and natural resources, Guide to creating your own water filter couldn’t have come at a better time.

You will be surprised to find out how many impurities and hard elements reside in a natural water. These heavy metal elements like chlorine, fluorine and lead can be hazardous to the health, especially for children and pregnant women. Municipality lead water may contain many more elements that should be prevented from intake as much as possible.

Bottled water is adding to the plight to the waste management. As much as one would think of recycling the plastic, the facts can’t be ignored that the landfills are growing to enormous sizes and recycling rates remain dismally low. As suggested by some experts, these bottles should be washed and reused. Unfortunately, reusing plastic bottles may compromise the quality of water.

How to make pure and safe home made water filter?

Kam Kay — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 15:39:52 +0000

Why not tap water?

Few years ago, as I became aware of the contamination of the tap water I became highly conscious of my family drinking contaminated water that contained high levels of chlorine, fluorine and heavy metals. Studies also show it contains high level of lead or arsenic which could be extremely dangerous for children and pregnant women.

Why not bottled water?

After studying the surveys and studies, I decided to switch to bottled water. Every grocery trip I would bring home huge crates of bottled water, only to store them in my garage. Idea of recycling was in my mind, but disposing all that plastic into a landfill was something I was not comfortable with. And to top it all off, I later came to know that bottled water may not be safe after all as well. There is no guarantee that they do not contain all those heavy metals found in tap water.

There are some alternatives to tap water and bottled water. I will update this as I find some good ones.

100% Free Online Dating – ProMatching.com

Kam Kay — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 00:07:44 +0000

Free Online Dating

A brand new website that I came across for free online dating is ProMatching. After digging around a little, I found some interesting features on the site. This website offers free online dating services in the US, Canada, Australia and UK for now. I think they should expand more. Maybe they are just testing the waters and see how it goes.

Now, about the features and functionality of Promatching. The website is a breath of fresh air with nice graphics, conveniently easy tabs to navigate around. Other dating sites I have been checking out have almost the same bland look, contents and same functionality. The basic search feature on the front page gives the capability to start searching as soon as you hit the site. You will get the results right away. You can also contact members for free but will need to register once in order to do so.

Downside of Promatching is that there are not many profiles posted. So, even if you do have to run the search, you may not get many results. That should change in the coming future, because there is a potential for dating sites that provide convenience to its members.

Online Dating has moved into the mainstream of love and romance. It can be an excellent way of meeting new people. Gone are the days when online dating sites were thought to be only used by desperate and aging people. Dating sites now cater to younger audience as well, since the web is secure and safe way to know all about the person, if used properly, and then proceeding ahead with the future plans of setting up the dates etc.

With nearly everyone jumping on the online dating wagon, there are more chances of you meeting someone on the online dating sites, as opposed to meeting someone traditional way. The more options you have to post your profile online, the more chances you have of meeting someone of your liking.

There is not much to say about Promatching. Only time will tell how they perform with so big players already in the dating industry. I may have to come back to this post again, and edit it after checking out the performance of this free online dating service.
