Script Smart Version 4 Released

It’s been a long time coming in fact 13 months between releases for Script Smart. The internet marketers toolbox that has lots of scripts and helpful applications to boost your sales / conversions from your website.

To this day, I personally still use this software about once a month. Usually for the email encoding script but sometimes the countdown and last chance scripts as well. And the colour wheel.

Some of the scripts that were cutting edge in 2006 have been knocked off and marketed individually over the years. I always chuckle when I see it, but they provided a solution just as I have, so I don’t begrudge them at all.

To think I initally created this software back in 2006, and it’s now in it’s 4th incarnation. I look at the videos of myself that I have on the download page and the affiliate page and I look so young and fresh. 🙂 How times have changed.

This release brings the software up-to-date with the new Adobe AIR released that have happened over the last 18 months.

Since this is a new version Script Smart 4 will install separately. You can uninstall the old Script Smart 3 version at any stage.

You can’t obviously upgrade while running Script Smart 3 using the inbuilt upgrader. So simply go to the download page (emailed to you) and install the new version.

If you require your license to be reset you can now action this on your own without needing to contact support.

This release will pave the way for some new scripts I’ve been working on adding to Script Smart in the future.

So I urge you to upgrade now, and then future minor updates will be seemless once again from within the application.

Are you using Banners in WordPress for Extra Revenue?

If you are like me and have any blogs that have banners on them, then you will be interested in this review.

By far the easiest plugin that I’ve found to handle banner advertisting on WordPress, has been Max Banner Ads by Max Blog Press.

What I like about it is that it’s all point and click. No need to muck around with the theme code.

I’ve been using it for the last 1 1/2 years on my niche blogs to display advertisting.

A couple of examples.

On one of my sites I have two sidebar widgets setup to handle larger block ads and the smaller 125×125 little blocks and I’m using the Max Banner Ads automation to put a 468×60 at the top of the first blog post. These formulate my Gold, Silver and Bronze advertising packages for private business. Yes direct advertisting pays better than adsense!

On another of my sites I have three 300×300 banner spots embedded around the theme, and I just copied and pasted the code that Max Banner Ads generated into the theme at the spots I needed. Once again direct business advertising is a winner over adsense.

It’s all managed by a simple admin interface.

The banners all rotate evenly within their groupings. So it’s fair time share between the spots.

Plus it has built in statistics so I can see how many views and my click through stats. Which of course then I pass along that info to my business advertisters.

They have two version a free version with a nag line “powered by Max Banner Ads” and a pro version.

They have made it simple to affiliate via Clickbank, so you can of course add in your clickbank ID to the nag line on the free version.

I must admit when I first registered for the free version they were moving servers or something like that and my registration wasn’t accepted for about 2 weeks. But after contacting support they sorted it out and I’ve been happy ever since.

They have a video and screen shots and more explaination on their website – Max Banner Ads.

If you are looking for a way to display multiple banners or even just one on your blog, try it out you’ll be happy you did.

Local Google Places Rank Tracker / Rank Checker

It’s been 2 years since I released Backup Smart. I’ve been itching to release some new software.

I’m letting the market decide on this software, by starting small, getting a quick release out there, and seeing if people are interested in it and getting feedback.

I’ve learned a lot over the last 4 products that I’ve brought to market. This is by far the best way.

This software is for internet marketers that help offline businesses with their online marketing.

It finds the ranking position of a Google Places local business listing in the Google Places search results.

Think of a normal SEO ranking software like Market Samurai’s Rank Tracker, but this just for Google Places.

It’s in Beta stage at the moment, so it’s FREE. It’s called Local Rank Tracker.

Local Google Places Rank Tracker

Should there be enough interest in the software I’ll build it out to a full application.

Leave me comment with your thoughts.

Backup Smart Upgrade v1.56

Another upgrade to Backup Smart is available.

This one includes …

1) Fix for including some extra error messages into scheduler email

2) Fixes to French language (thank you Hubert Daul for your great work with helping to translate my terrible French)

3) Tasks now save by task name rather than domain name

Having tasks save to the HDD by task name rather than domain name is important for users with multiple tasks on the same server and also users that use HTTPS (secure connection) to access their cPanel control panel.

Users on shared hosting that wish to use the hosting providers shared SSL certificate can now do so.

For example, your domain name is widgets.com but your hosting provider forces you through https://myhostingprovider.com to access your cPanel

So your task name would be widgets.com and your domain name would be myhostingprovider.com

Now Backup Smart saves by the task name (which can be anything that enter in) rather than the domain name. This may be the same for multiple accounts which is why using the domain name to file the accounts on the HDD had to be changed.

Backup Smart will of course as you to update when you next start it up.

As per usual, any issues and just drop in a support ticket online.
