Retweet Button For Wordpress
Posted by: | CommentsDon’t you just love my fancy new Twitter button? —>
This great little icon not only tells readers how many times a post has been tweeted, but offers a VERY easy way to let them retweet the post! They simply click the green “retweet” button and they are automatically redirected to their Twitter home page where they will find a RT already filled in with the post name and a link. All they have to do is hit their update button and their RT is sent out into their Twitter stream.
Awwww…. come on…. I know you want one, don’t you? Then go and grab the Tweetmeme plugin and install it to your Wordpress blog. After installation, you can decide where to put your snazzy new button. You can also use the full version like the one you see at the top of this post, or you can choose to use a smaller version.
Don’t forget to follow me @kayecee and if you like this post, please RT. *smooches*

Automatic SEO Links
Posted by: | CommentsI do a lot of affiliating with heavy content sites like this one and one of the biggest PITA’s is to go through several posts to change links. UGH! Definitely a big waste of time. You never know when a company will change networks or a specific type of URL will become obsolete. Also, with POD For You, there are some companies, such as Printfection, that don’t have an affiliate program yet. I have several links to them throughout my blog. If Printfection ever gets an affiliate program, I’ll have a LOT of links that I will have to track down and change…. as if there isn’t enough on my To Do list already. *sigh*
So what’s a busy girl to do?
Simple… I found a great Wordpress plug in called Automatic SEO Links. This baby is wonderful! I installed it and simply entered the keyword and URL. Now, whenever I type the keyword, the plug in automatically inserts the link into the first instance of it on the page! I can even choose whether to make the link Follow or NoFollow.
If I’m doing a site about gardening and want to link the word lawnmower to a specific landing page for a certain company, I simply enter the keyword “lawnmower” with the proper URL and BAM!!!! Proper link! The company changes platforms, closes its affiliate program, or switches networks? No problem! Simply go to the Admin area and edit the keyword to change links.
