It is the only WordPress plugin for Amazon affiliate ads that is focused on styled advertising, unique content, search engine rankings and high converting advertisements. Developed by a professional Amazon affiliate, the Product Style Plugin is based on professional techniques that have proven success. Best of all, the plugin encourages unique content that has resulted in a lot of #1 Google rankings using this plugin. Installation of the plugin is simple. The recommended way is to download it through your WordPress administration on the website where you want to use it. Just search for “Product Style Plugin” when adding a new plugin. Alternatively, you can also download the plugin from this website. If you download the plugin here, there are two ways to install it. You can upload the entire .zip file through your WordPress administration, or you can decompress that file and upload the entire contents to your “/wp-content/plugins/” directory. Almost every single thing about the ads can be customized to your exact liking! Just a small list of the things that can be customized with each affiliate ad: ■Ad Style Background, Border & Text Colors ■Advertisement & Text Sizes ■Layout of Ad (Rearrange all major areas) ■Advertised Product (promote anything on Amazon.com) ■Ad Text For Header(s) & Ad Information The Product Style Amazon affiliate plugin is easy to use. Let’s see how… Get started by entering your Amazon Associates ID to make sure you’ll get commissions for any sales the website refers. Then, create a customized ad design “Style” or use one of the predefined styles. This “Style” can then be used for control the way the affiliate ads look. Create and use as many styles as needed on a single website! To actually create an ad to display on your WordPress blog, there are three simple steps to follow: 1.Create Product Information – With an easy-to-use administration area, create a Category to contain similar products that will all show the same types of information. Then, create a Product within that Category, and specify what type of information you want to show for the product by creating Fields. A Field will have two parts: the Name and the Info. Using the sample ad shown above, an example Field Name is “Crate Name” and the Field Info for that name is “Midwest iCrate”. All Products in one Category will use the same Field Names for each Product. This Product information can be simple or complex, whatever works for you and your website. However, website visitors love to see a lot of information with an advertisement because it encourages them to take a look at the ad, and this leads to more conversions and more commissions for you. 2.Create Advertisement – Enter some basic information for your Amazon affiliate ad. This is also where a Style and the Product information is connected with an advertisement. After this brief information is provided, the ad is created and ready for action! 3.Publish Advertisement – Insert created Amazon affiliate ads anywhere you want on your WordPress site! Using either tab of the native WordPress editor, choose the affiliate ad that you want to display on the page, and then shortcode for that ad will automatically be inserted into the page. Those same shortcodes can also be used within Text/HTML Widgets to show Amazon affiliate ads literally anywhere on the WordPress site.
