I’ve just started using a nifty little plugin that allows me to target ads and content based on the country of a visitor to my WordPress blogs.

I’ve just added it to a gardening website that I am building into an authority site (lots of content, all white hat, etc). I placed the geo tags around some Amazon ads for 3 specific books. Now, when a visitor from the UK arrives, they’ll see Amazon.co.uk and be able to buy the book there. US and Canadian visitors see the same ad but for Amazon.com.

I set it up this afternoon and it works like a dream. Finally, no more lost sales because Amazon (or any ad network) doesn’t carry forward an affiliate sale from UK to USA and vice versa.

Not sure whether youve come across a brilliant script called WPTwin which allows you to move a WordPress blog from one host to another with the minimum of fuss.  It really is dead simple to do.

Well… it should be!

Ive just had one of those days when everything went wrong.  I tried to move my 300 Internet Marketers site to another host.  However, I changed nameservers too early and couldn’t clone my site as it wouldn’t propogate.  Six hours later (after changing nameservers BACK to my original host) I managed to clone the blog and upload to my new server all the necessary files.

It gets worse!

Somehow, I managed to screw up the cPanel login on my new site and had to contact support.  Sorted out an hour later.

Finally, after about 8 hours the job was done and everything is fine.

Trouble is, I’ve done absolutely nothing to advance my internet marketing ambitions.

C’est la vie
