Wealthy Affiliate Review

I've created another video review of Wealthy Affiliate and wanted to share it on this blog as I haven't added any content here in some time.

Finally A Kick ASS Heatmap WordPress Plugin

I've been testing a heatmap wordpress plugin call "Click Heat Dynamo" for a few months now on several of my blogs, this heatmap plugin kick ass and is something everyone should be using.

I'm a huge fan of wordpress and have a list of plugins that I install on every blog/site I setup.

Well Click Heat Dynamo is now the latest plugin that been added to my list.

Wesley the owner of this plugin and several other plugins has just released it to the public. It's currently at a discounted price, so if you're looking for a top notch heatmap wordpress plugin now is the time to get one. Click Heat Dynamo

Heatmap WordPress Plugin Video

I created a quick video to show members of Wealthy Affiliate how it works, I may create another video but for now I'm just going to post the same video here. It's not the greatest video on how the heatmap plugin works, but you should get the point and clearly see how having the ability to see exactly where visitors are clicking is going to help you.

Basically the wordpress heatmap plugin tracks every single click of the mouse and displays it on a heat map from inside the blog admin area. 

It works with all major browsers like Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome, Opera and Safari. Also because Click Heat Dynamo tracks every click by element and the exact position on that element the click occurred it can ACCURATELY track clicks from ANY resolution.

Here is a screenshot of heatmap taken from the homepage of one of my blogs:

This heatmap wordpress plugin comes with a developers license allowing you to install on unlimited site, clients sites and more, plus you get 1 year free support and upgrades.

Installing A SQL Database Backup Video

Installing a wordpress database backup isn't that hard, but for many people this can be very scary. In this video that I posted on a new blog I've been working on, I show you exactly how to install the backup SQL file.

If you have a self hosted wordpress blog then you should already installed a plugin called "WP-DB-Backup" also called "WordPress Database Backup". It's 100% free and you can have it setup to email you the database backup daily or weekly etc.

So in this video I show you how to restore the backup file:

Hostgator Black Friday Coupon Deals

Hostgator is holding yet another insane Black Friday hosting special, 80% OFF and 50% OFF coupon available for a limited time.

That means you could get 3 years hosting for as little as $35.64 if you join during the 80% OFF time period, if you dived that between 36 months it works out to be $0.99 per month.

But I personally do NOT recommend selecting the Hatchling as it's limited to 1 domain, why not spend a few extra dollars and have the ability to host unlimited sites with a BABY plan.

If you picked a BABY plan and paid $57.24 for 3 years that only works out to a whopping $1.59 per month.

 

 

Do I Need A Coupon Code?

No, this is a Hostgator Black Friday special only so you can simple visit Hostgator and the available coupon code will be pre-filled when you sign up for Hostgator.

The 50% and 80% coupon codes will only be available during set times and while accounts are available.

Without further ado, here is our Black Friday 2010 Special Offer:

We're offering 50% OFF EVERYTHING From 12:00AM CST to 5AM CST

We're offering 80% OFF EVERYTHING From 5AM to 9AM CST WHILE SUPPLIES LAST (first come, first receive; so definitely don't miss out!)

From 9AM to 11:59PM CST OR after 80% OFF accounts have sold out, we will continue to offer 50% OFF EVERYTHING

 

 

What If I Joined Hostgator In The Past Or Currently Have An Account With Them?

Only new customers can benefit from the Hostgator Black Friday coupon deal, but that doesn't mean you couldn't have your partner to sign up. I already have an account with Hostgator but on Black Friday my wife will be signing up for a 3 year Business account.

Do You Offer Any Bonuses For Joining Hostgator Via Affiliate Link?

I had planned on listing bonuses for people who joined via the Hostgator Black Friday but after looking over the "Hostgator's Affiliate Terms" I came across this paragraph:

"Incentivized commissions, and offering any form of incentive to obtain a sale is forbidden, unless prior approval is given and cleared by HostGator Staff. To inquire on whether your incentive is acceptable, please e-mail affiliates [@] hostgator.com [dot] com"

I've emailed them and still waiting a response, if it's a yes then I'll edit this page and list my bonuses. If you are a Wealthy Affiliate member then you should already know that I'll help you any way I can, plus with any Hosting or Website type problems.

Contact me if you wanted to know what bonuses I was going to post.

Shrink O'Matic Image Resizer

Hey,

Well I know many of you have a hard time resizing images, I personally use CS3 for most image editing resizing but a few weeks ago I came across a software that's 100% free and works like a charm.

It's called Shrink O'Matic and you can download it here: http://toki-woki.net/p/Shrink-O-Matic/   Or just Google it.

I've created a quick video to show you how it works, if you have any questions or comments feel free to post them below, comment URL's are also follow links.

 

How To Upload & Install WP Theme's & Plugins

Learn how to install a wordpress theme or plugins, in the short video below I show you how to install a theme and plugin via the blog admin area plus via core ftp.

Note: Always check that the blog is working after you install a new plugin or theme, if you run into any problems deactivate or delete the last item uploaded or activated.  Several times I've had people come to me asking for help with the wordpress blank page problem. The home page and admin login page is completely blank.

This is normally caused when a plugin is causing a conflict or not compatible with the current version of wordpress.
If this happens to you, login to your hosting via file manager or ftp, delete or rename the last plugin installed. Check to see if it solved the problem, if it didn't try the another plugin.  When doing this via ftp you can see the date and time the plugin folder was uploaded, this is good if you can't remember what the last plugin uploaded was called.

Want To Know Why I Use & Recommend Hostgator?

Watch the video below:

As you probably know Wealthy Affiliate provides all members with free website hosting, this is great for people just starting out, but it currently has PHP running in Safe Mode. So if you intend on installing and running WordPress or anything that uses PHP then this is going to cause a few problems.  Google : "php safe mode on"  for more information on this.

I feel bad pointing this out because Kyle & Carson are both great people and only trying to help build our businesses, I'm sure at some point they will change this because they know how popular and powerful wordpress is for affiliate marketers.

 

If you've checked out the Wealthy Affiliate hosting forum section, I'm sure you've seen that I help out when member have problems, I've even create many different resources covering the common hosting problems.

---

I've been using Hostgator for almost 3 years now and highly recommend them because the support, services and price is A+.

As I pointed out in the video I'm not allowed to offer bonuses for signing up via my affiliate link, but if you do sign up via my link I'm going to offer my own personal support.

What type of support can I get from you Craig?

Basically you can email or PM me when ever you want, with any hosting or website creation type questions/problems. Maybe you need a website transferred over, software script installed, help customizing a blog, editing images, hosting/creating videos, what ever it is you can contact me, odds are I'll be able to help, if not I can definitely point you in the right direction.

1. First month Free – code: 404PAGE

Before joining Hostgator I recommend you figure out what's going to save you the most money, sure the first month for FREE sounds great, but if you have the funds to pay for 6 month or 1 years hosting up front then consider using coupon code SLICKDEALS
