Posted on December 8, 2010 by admin| Leave a comment

Eugene, OR (PRWEB) May 21, 2010

WordPress is a CMS (Content Management System) used by Realtors® to communicate information about neighborhoods, trends, market dynamics, and other knowledge that can be useful to potential buyers and sellers. Realtor® members of a local Multiple Listing Service (MLS) have access to an MLS/IDX data feed that contains daily property listing information. Realtors® may use this data to display property listings on a website and/or blog for the purpose of attracting visitors and clients.

The new IDX Broker Plugin for WordPress provides Realtors® with an easy way to add integrated MLS search tools, custom neighborhood and community pages, email notification services, and property listing widgets to a WordPress site or blog.

“Brokers and Agents can quickly add fully indexable (SEO) MLS page links and IDX lead capture to their WordPress blog or site. Theme designers now have an amazing platform to help leverage and sell more sophisticated real estate themes.” says Luke Walsh, Director of Business Development for IDX, Inc. “With coverage in over 350 MLS markets nationwide and flat-rate IDX pricing, we believe that this plugin represents tremendous value for designers, multi-market brokers, and agents nationwide.”

The plugin is now available for download from the company’s website. The plugin may also be downloaded and installed directly from within WordPress.

About WordPress

WordPress started in 2003 with a single bit of code to enhance the typography of everyday writing and with fewer users than you can count on your fingers and toes. Since then it has grown to be the largest self-hosted blogging tool in the world, used on millions of sites and seen by tens of millions of people every day. WordPress was born out of a desire for an elegant, well-architectured personal publishing system built on PHP and MySQL and licensed under the GPL. It is the official successor of b2/cafelog.

About IDX, Inc.

Based in Eugene, Oregon, IDX Inc. is nationally known as a leading provider of real estate search applications.

Posted on December 8, 2010 by admin| Leave a comment




ContestBurner Viral Marketing WordPress Plugin


Irvine, CA (PRWEB) September 16, 2009

In celebration of the release of the Contest Burner viral marketing WordPress plugin a ,000 online contest has been announced. Some of the prizes include a complete website creation, marketing and coaching package, an online marketing services package & cash prizes. The contest will also serve as a live case study showing the power of the ContestBurner online viral marketing tool.

Also released is a new viral marketing YouTube video explaining the contest and demonstrating how the new website tool works. Viewers of the video will participate live in the contest by interacting with the video while the plugin keeps track of these actions and rewards the viewers with contest entry points. In addition to contestants earning entries by interacting with a YouTube video they will also be able to earn them by “Tweeting” about the contest on Twitter or telling their friends on FaceBook.

Additional options are available to make interacting with the website owner’s blog part of the contest. Contestants can also be rewarded for commenting on the WordPress blog or subscribing to the website’s newsletter. This dramatically helps make a website “sticky” by increasing repeat website visitors

It is really exciting how many different ways Contest Burner not only makes joining its contests extremely easy but it also makes telling others about the contest very appealing. This sets off a firestorm of viral activity centered around the website running a contest with the ContestBurner WordPress Plugin. This now brings viral marketing down to the price range or small businesses. “Instead of companies spending tens of thousands of dollars on viral advertising, ContestBurner.com makes it easy and affordable for any website to run a viral marketing campaign. I’ve designed our WordPress plugin so that a new webmaster can just upload a file, activate the plugin and have their very own viral contest in less than 10 minutes.” says Bill McIntosh, the founder of Contest Burner and online marketing expert.

During the launch celebration and contest Bill McIntosh will also be providing a free online web marketing course designed to teach anyone how to properly create and run an online viral contest. This will be provided in the form of a free eBook, online video tutorials and live coaching during his weekly Internet show streamed live every week. In addition, a special “lite” version of the ContestBurner plugin has been developed so that anyone who currently has a WordPress blog can download the plugin for free and use it to increase website traffic with a viral marketing campaign centered around a ContestBurner contest.

“I challenge anyone to find a method of creating a marketing campaign this easily and this affordable that automatically ties together all the major forms of social media, online video and tell a friend marketing and brings it all together in one easy-to-use dashboard.”

Climbing the Ladder of Success ? Drupal has Arrived, Ahead of WordPress and Joomla

Climbing the Ladder of Success – Drupal has Arrived, Ahead of WordPress and Joomla












Drupal theme ST Nagara – inspired by the famous BBC


New York, NY (PRWEB) June 23, 2010

WordPress, Joomla and Drupal have thus far been seen to be the three most popular open source Content Management Systems in use on the Internet today. However, things have now changed – at least, the order of popularity is very definitely changing and rapidly! Drupal, which arrived on the scene circa 2006, is a rising high class threat to the others, especially with the latest release a premium Drupal theme ST Nagara, designed by SymphonyThemes.com .

If we place ST Nagara under the ‘Systems microscope’ we find a quality clone of the well-established BBC system. So what’s so good about that? Simply, but not solely, it takes the best of BBC and completes the rest with a consistent look. This enables the user to enjoy a smart grid base layout, enriched typography and the various colour options of ST Nagara (see the demo of Nagara). The British Broadcasting Corporation, well known for many facets of communication for more than eighty years, has a magazines publishing division that now uses Drupal on its several websites.

WHAT CAN YOU CREATE WITH DRUPAL?

That’s easy…from a simple personal homepage to a full company website Drupal provides you with the tool to create anything from a basic home page to a sophisticated commercial entity, Weblog, Dating Website or whatever your favourite type of website might be. There’s almost no limit or restriction on your creative ability with Drupal. With heaps of themes and modules Drupal and ST Nagara the sky’s the limit and the only boundary is your own imagination.

THE RISE

Drupal’s rise to the top is due in large part to the fact that more web designers are now choosing Drupal to use in the development of their more detailed and comprehensive designs. Once they discovered the ease with which Drupal can be applied to choose the ‘use-right-away-templates’ and then to develop websites via these premade tools it became ‘no contest’. Drupal can be the first choice for beginners and experts alike.

So, if you are just starting out as a web developer or you’ve been in the Internet business for years you couldn’t do better than move in with Drupal and the Drupal theme ST Nagara. Together they will show you the way to appealing and successful websites. At the same time they make it very easy to work up a great site that will be more likely to do for you just what you want it to – all you have to do is to get alongside what has been described as the easiest Content Management System that’s alive and kicking on the world wide web.

The fact that Drupal is a free modular CMS makes the system even more incredible. In this day of the almighty dollar being just that – almighty, to be able to enjoy a FREE option in website tools and, at the same time, to have these tools of the highest quality is amazing!

The added bonus that the entire Drupal framework is open source and therefore freely available to everyone is yet another feather in the Drupal cap. When we consider the raison d’etre for the Internet’s existence, that of communication, we have to place Drupal at the top of the pile.

Rapid Niche Websites Upgrade Reflects Ongoing Commitment To WordPress

Posted on December 5, 2010 by admin| Leave a comment

Pretoria, Gauteng (PRWEB) April 9, 2007

The RapidNicheWebsites.com web site has undergone a much-needed update. It now demonstrates the significant enhancements made to the product over the past year. It also confirms that Rapid Niche Websites System has kept pace with the recent WordPress updates.

“The Rapid Niche Websites System has evolved considerably over the past 18 months. It is fully WordPress 2.1 compliant – which is the latest version of WordPress. It also supports building silo(authority)-style sites”, says Jeff Walters, the developer and owner of the Rapid Niche Websites System.

WordPress has deservedly enjoyed huge popularity over the past year. Its easy installation has enabled people with limited technical skill to set up thousands of sites over the past year. The basic blog format does, however, have some shortcomings – particularly if you want your site to look like a conventional site. Savvy site builders have been building conventional sites with the blog framework for a while, but this requires good technical skills.

The Rapid Niche Websites System removes this technical barrier. It provides a point-and-click interface to quickly transform a WordPress blog into a marketing site. Hundreds of marketers with minimal technical skill are already using this system to create attractive web sites.

Why does the company’s ongoing commitment to WordPress make good business sense?

More and more web site builders are creating interactive websites. This is basically a shift to Web 2.0 styles sites. These interactive sites allow commentary and hence visitor interaction. This important feature allows marketers to build relationships with their customers.

Fast, interactive sites are a far cry from the days of technical developers acting as bottlenecks to creating and maintaining sites. Not only was this a slow process, it was also expensive and frustrating. “The days of slow, difficult and expensive web site development are over!” says Jeff Walters. “In fact, I think the days of static HTML sites are also numbered. They’re just so limited in terms of what they can do compared to ones based on a content management system – such as WordPress”

While the Rapid Niche Websites System originally focused on Adsense content publishing for Internet Marketers, the ever-increasing number of plug-ins that extend WordPress’s functionality now means that WordPress is a serious contender for creating business websites – at a fraction of the cost of conventional sites. A key feature of WordPress – assisted by the Rapid Niche Websites System – is that attractive, powerful marketing websites can be set up within a few hours to a couple of days.

The WordPress development team has been updating WordPress every few months. This has ensured the ongoing and increasing popularity of WordPress. This isn’t without some drawbacks, as some plug-in developers don’t bother keeping up to date with WordPress enhancements. This leaves many users of their plug-ins stranded with each WordPress upgrade.

Rapid Niche Websites customers can, however, be assured that their sites won’t be impacted by these updates. “We certainly intend to keep updating and enhancing our product. Our goal is to continue to evolve the Rapid Niche Websites System as a fast, flexible, and very powerful web marketing platform” says Jeff Walters.
