An interesting question was asked by Garry Conn recently in regards to needing a specific widget for a WordPress plugin that would allow for manual selection of textual based links to an amazon affiliate code.

Garry operates one of the best Make Money Online blogs and he has helped a lot of start-up bloggers to enter into the business of making some money with their blogs.

If you are a plugin developer or if you know of a WordPress plugin that will work for this please contact Garry at http://www.garryconn.com/

Oh, and please leave a message here also.

Thanks.

For instance, the Blog called LinkMoney dot org recently posted instructions on how to create the HTML code necessary to leave a keyword link to a website.

Normally if you post a comment with a url typed out in it, then when the comment gets posted WordPress will convert that to a link, but there will be no keyword strengthening to the link, just a link to your website url.

In the example on LinkMoney the code can be written this way:

<a href=”http://linkmoney.org”>Link Money</a> Link Money

That way any time someone clicks on that link you get a vote in the search engine ranks for those keywords.

So this is one way that we can say this site is made for Friends Helping Friends.

As the website title bar says, You will Benefit by Subscribing to Enhanced Contact (dot com.)

What we do is similar to some of the paid subscription Blog Mastermind programs, the only difference is that at Enhanced Contact (dot com) everything is FREE !

You will gain information from others that have learned the ropes of all the little details needed to build a Super Blog.

We keep it simple here and most of all FRIENDLY ! No one will look down on you for asking the newbie question. After all we were all newbies at one time. Also remember that there is no such thing as a Dumb Question, (although those are the easiest to answer.) \grin/ That is a joke, we try not to get too serious around here.

What we are hoping for with the Friends Helping Friends theme is that when you learn something of value from this group, please pass it on, and also tell people where you learned it from for FREE !

Tell your friends about this website and encourage them to join the group discussion.

Most of the discussion here will be in regard to using the WordPress Blogging program. We will continue to use this blog format for now, and if it becomes obvious that it would be better to use some Forum software, well then we can always convert later.

Ask questions, try to help with answers and let this become known as the “Friends Helping Friends” website.
