The New Affiliate Blog Builder (ABB), why this could be just what you need.
My goal was to set up good quality sites for my affiliate products and I had been looking around to see what was available, how user friendly they were and how long it took to set up these sites.
My goodness, was I confused there are just so many different ways to set up sites! Looking on a search engine such as Google there appear to be many affiliate sites out there. Some of these do not seem to have much in the way of interest or information for visitors (these are our potential customers)!
Other affiliate site building packages I have looked at required knowledge of HTML and skills that I do not have, I am definitely not technically minded!

Then I found out about Affiliate Blog Builder (ABB) from one of the forums, it was in pre-launch and due to be released on 1st July 2009. At first I thought this looks too easy, in fact it turns out that it is so simple that even a newbie (like me when it comes to building these type of sites) can understand and use ABB to build good quality product review sites.
Affiliate Blog Builder (ABB) is a true wordpress plugin, this means that it is hosted on your OWN hosting account (it is not a script that is hosted on another person's hosting account like some of the software out there).
The ABB plugin enables you to build Affiliate Product Review Sites that give a visitor great value by providing the information they are looking for. This is accomplished by using, for example, reviews, images, comparisons and videos. Most importantly ABB uses content from different sources (not only from datafeed) and gives you complete control over its layout.
Another massive advantage of the plugin is that new products (from your chosen niche) are added automatically and there are also daily price updates. Great for helping to keep your sites content fresh and gaining the interest of the search engines.
Affiliate Blog Builder (ABB) also comes with a very comprehensive PDF Manual that takes an affiliate through every step of the process on using the plugin and setting up the sites.
You are taken through vital first steps on finding your niche and then searching on the keyword phrase/phrases for your chosen niche that allows you to know exactly what competition is out there.Finding out these facts at the beginning can save you so much time in the long run.
If you are a newbie there are step by step instructions on how to choose a domain name; advice on hosting and how to set it up and setting up WordPress The manual also has a great explanation about WordPress and why Google likes the WordPress set up so much.
The importance of setting up WordPress in the right way in order to maximise the SEO and ranking of your site is also explained and such things as recommended plugins, ping lists etc are provided in order for you to do this.
When I purchased Affiliate Blog Builder (ABB) a great theme was provided in the download area that works brilliantly with the plugin, however links to other free theme templates are also provided.
As an affiliate you do need to have at least one account with an affiliate network such as Amazon, EBay or Linkshare, for example. The great thing about ABB though is that when you do search for and choose products you then have complete control over the information you include in each product post. This is fantastic and help makes your site unique, which again is vital for getting good rankings on search engines.
Also to help you in your aim to get high site ranking is easy to understand information on how to build backlinks.
Lastly you are given great hints and tips on such things as Article Marketing and how to create posts and pages. All in all everything you are likely to need in order to build great sites for all your affiliate products.
This article has given an overview of the Affiliate Blog Builder (ABB). I hope that it has given you some insight on how easy it is to use so that building good quality sites quickly is something that is within the reach of all current or budding affiliates.
