In relation to WordPress and WordPress plugins. We have created a really interesting viral traffic plugin that could for sure benefit your site increase the visits. It makes use of the Facebook Like or Share buttons but in a way that you could not imagine. Our plugin gently pushes predefined text to the users of the blog so that they will most likely Like or Share your page much frequently than with any other method. You will still be able to still use the normal Like/Share buttons by your blogs). This method will allow visitors for example recommend your index page to all their friends which a portion of will visit and virally increase traffic to your website. You can control the plugin in alot of ways so it suits you. If you go to the ilikeviral.com site, you can see how it works. So if you want more visits and viral increase in traffic, check it out. The affiliate program is also very with high commission so you should also look at that even if you think the plugin is not fitting you. Thanks

I had a friend say “your site won’t open in my Iphone right? So I scoured the forums and found a recommendation to “WordPress Mobile Edition By Crowd Favorite” – called my friend back and said “try my site again” – he did and said “WOW – that is cool, how’d you do that?” I just laughed and said when you get a blog I’ll show you. Note: follow directions exactly – upload the compressed file to your cpanel and un-compress it there, then put the files in the right folders.
