I’m sure you, like me, have received quite a few email promotions lately promoting various ways to build and cash in on the Facebook Fan Page Craze. There is an easy, not to mention free, way to setup fan page(s) on existing WordPress-sites, keeping your site looking like your site, and your fan pages like fan pages.
It installs as a plugin and is really easy to use .. Oh, and did I mention that it’s free?
Visit >> fanpage connect << for more info and download.

I’ve setup a database at the old scripttricks.com-domain and wrote a small plugin that, when activated, grabs and displays a famous quote on all of your posts.
Demo: check the bottom of the posts on this blog 
Here’s the code:
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: myQuotesWP
Version: 0.5
Plugin URI: http://www.scripttricks.com
Description: Adds a famous quote to the end of all blog posts
Author: Bjorn
Author URI:
*/
function file_get_contents_curl($url) {
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $data;
}
function fetch_quote($content) {
if(! is_feed() && ! is_page()) { // dont want it showing on anything but posts
$content .= file_get_contents_curl(“http://www.scripttricks.com/qu1/getquote.php”);
}
return $content;
}
add_filter(‘the_content’, ‘fetch_quote’);
?>
Save the code as “myQuotesWP.php”, copy it into your plugins-folder, activate and you’re ready to go. If you make any improvements on it or tweak, don’t hesitate to let me know, I enjoy seeing what others do with my code
You can also download it right here:

If you were a user of myAffiliateLinks, look at the bottom.
There will be no more testings of products aimed at people looking for “PushButtonWealth” . For the full time I haven’t been around, I haven’t purchased a single one of those. The “Making Internet Moolah Formula” has nothing to do with marketing crappy, outdated free information at a high price to a clueless individual who uptil recently believed Al Gore invented “teh interwebz”.
When people buy the stuff for $2000 they quicklig realise they need a $4000 seminar to teach them how to use their $2000-system. When at the seminar they meet people who wants to pitch them $1000-$1500 to superaccelerate the earnings from their $2000-system they’re on a $4000 seminar to learn how to use. And it goes on … And on …
And on. Until the they get back home, filled with the knowledge of “The Secret” and the “Law of attraction”. They set up the funnel and wait for their attitude and moneygrabbing state of mind to do the work for them. But it doesn’. Not a dime. Except that payment that got wrong.
They call up the designated call-center for the guru and are told “You are not utilising the power fully, there’s a disturbance in your chakras. If you want, I can set you up with a personal meeting with Guru Goorooh and he’ll help you work through it! only $10 000 for the first half hour”.
Read all above and then ask yourself, do you understand how Guru Gooroh becomes rich? Buy selling dreams, and chanting mumbo-jumbo and referencing to two of the most riddiculed cultural items in our history.
My marketing enedavours target smaller markets. No need to sell snake-oil or lie about obvious things. I get in there, hang around for a while, check out what they need and want, and go on an excursion to find it. Some times i tip people off using affiliate links, sometimes just the regular links. Sometimes (has happend more frequently last few months) i happen to have a fitting product or information in my collection, and I share it, Sometimes for a charge and sometimes for free. People like that. I like that.
If someone were to promote an infoproduct to me that seems to cater to my way or have insights on my markets, I’ll buy and review. Most of the stuff I push now is old plr-material (some dating back to ’06) that i add or subtract and rewrite to fit my needs better.
Every one doing business or hunting stats or whatever freaky combination you can think of – needs a linkmanager/tracker. 4 years ago I used a linktool of my own, called myAffiliateLinks, that filled all my needs at the time. I introduced it on a forum and some other places and people wanted to know how much i should charge. After pondering on it (and from some advice of the mentor) I said “nothing. you can have it for free, just give me your emailaddress and name). That crazy little script brought in a good list. I went in to business with an online-friend and we went on to other projects. For a lot of different reasons, some being mine, some being his and some being on completely other people, our cooperation faded out. We still talk from time to time. A good thing came from it though, I got to keep ScriptTricks.com for myself, and I intend to release my FREE stuff there.
So, myAffiliateLinks. Is no more. It’s place as my fav and only linkmanager will be taken over by faster, better and easier to use cousin AffiliateSidekick. Screeshots will be coming up as work progresses. AS will handle on-the-fly-campaign creation, detailed charts and statistics on your in<>out traffic, it will feature automatically created campaign-names and it turned out to be a mean, green, pizzamachine. Pizzamachine may be taken out without prior notice.
