Simple Comparison Site or Review Site Plugin for WP

Why not Start Your Own Business running a Comparison Website or Review Site using a ready-made Wordpress plugin?

We've all seen and used comparison websites, review websites - every time you visit Amazon you get to compare and read reviews on everything they have. Well, it's a lot easier than you think to create something really impressive in under a day, using a Wordpress plugin that's fully developed and feature-packed.

All you need is Wordpress installed on your own domain (website) and an instant comparison site plugin.

The best comparison site plugin on the market is WP Review Site, with over 1000 websites already using it to power their comparison sites and review sites.

Comparison and Review sites are a great way to make money online, because your website visitors are creating your content for you as they give their feedback. All you have to do is let people know about it.

What I like about WP Review Site is that you can use it in your existing website - and use your existing theme, or you can use or customize one of the default themes that are supplied with it, there's an additional theme pack for just $29, making each one under $6, these themes are the right look and style for a review site or comparison site, so will easily save you days of finding a theme that will look good.

Add Star Ratings to Any Theme, Add Star Ratings to Posts and Comments

If you want to add star ratings within your site, this plugin might be perfect for doing that. Simply remove tick/check in auto-embed options on the settings page and it adds the code to your theme automatically.

You can then add star ratings to posts and comments. It'll display average ratings, you can sort posts by rating, there are sidebar widgets available with ratings.

When your website visitors add a comment, they're now adding a full review. Much more interesting for your website visitors - and it adds to the value of your site and the information you're providing.

Adding Reviews to Part of Your Site

You'll need to copy/paste the code into your theme where you want it. Full details of this are provided, along with backup and support.

All Wordpress Features Still Exist

This review site plugin doesn't stop Wordpress from working, it's an add-on. So your ability to do everything else (upload/insert images, videos, etc) aren't affected.

Automatically Add and Create Comparison Tables

Based on your posts - and your user reviews - by simply ticking a box you can add a comparison table to your homepage or to your category pages. You choose the tables you want in the comparison table and this comparison site plugin pulls in the data from the database automatically.

You're not stuck with one layout. You get to choose how information is displayed to your website visitors.

• Tables or Lists
• Horizontal or Vertical

You can even change the start markers and how they look. For something even more adventurous, the css is fully customizable, ensuring you get the perfect match with your existing site, or the perfect new design that you want.

Sorting By ...

When website visitors come looking for reviews on your site they'll be interested to see "The Top..." or "The Best ...". What they don't want to do is to have to crawl through every comment and piece of feedback that's been left, picking their way through to find the best. With WP Review Site you can set it to automatically sort the comments and feedback into "The best ...." order. So those reviews giving high ratings will be the first thing, at the top of the list, that your website visitors are greeted with.

This feature also uses an advanced algorithm so that the results aren't skewed based on volume of feedback. The plugin uses Bayesian Weighting to achieve this.

One item that has 20 4-star ratings will therefore outrank one that has 2 5-star ratings.

You might be creating an entire review site from scratch (an ideal project for any spare domains you've got hanging around unused), or you might be simply adding a review section to your website.

Both these are possible with this one simple review site plugin.

You can turn ratings and reviews on/off based on:

• Per category - include/exclude whole categories from having ratings or reviews
  
• Per page - include/exclude individual pages from showing reviews or ratings
• Per post - include/exclude individual posts from showing reviews or ratings
  

The combination of this is a simple, yet powerful, system to control exactly where in your website any ratings, reviews or rankings appear for your visitors.  Easily.

Embed Google Maps Automatically for Business Listings

If you're going to create a review site for businesses - bars, hotels, restaurants, shops, etc, rather than for products, then there's an inbuilt feature to automatically embed Google maps.  This feature will transform a great review site into a powerful one!

Create a local directory for your town easily using this feature.  The address is managed directly from the write/edit screen in Wordpress, so you don't have to touch any of Google's html or JS code to achieve this embedding.

Wordpress uses widgets to put things into sidebars. They're a powerful feature and easy to use. What I like about widgets is it completely removes any need to touch the underlying Wordpress code to insert things into sidebars.

The WP Review Site has widgets available for you to use instantly. You can add these widgets to display the following in your site sidebar:

• List of Top Rated Items
• List of the Latest Comments and Reviews
  

This means site visitors can easily see what's hot and what's not! This will help with your website visitor retention.

You don't have to use the widgets - but they're there if you do want to.  It's all your choice.

Your comparison site or review website, running the way you want.

There's full support available, free technical support. This plugin is a well-used Wordpress plugin, written by professional developers, so you won't need much.

Free upgrades for life - WP Review Site will keep up with the latest Wordpress releases and you'll automatically get free upgrades for each version.

Instant Download

Once you've bought the plugin, it's an instant download product, so you could literally have this on your site in the next 5 minutes.

If you want to break into affiliate marketing, or you're looking for a bit more "oomph" in what you're doing, then a review site can really bring it all together for you - and more people buy from a review site than most other sources, so you're making sure your website visitors will be clicking to buy through your site than others they've visited.

First people will research, then they'll probably end up at a review site before making that essential buying decision.

As an affiliate marketer, you could really focus on just getting traffic, with your review site doing the converting for you!

Creating user review sites easily with WP Review Site, you can create a niche user-powered review sites for virtually anything. You can use your review site to:

• Review products
• Review services
• Review websites
• Review restaurants
• Review hotels
• Review credit cards
• Review anything!

Your review site could be reviewing national services, or international services - or you could concentrate just on your local area, your county, your state - and become a niche site for reviews in your city.

The WP Review Site Wordpress plugin also adds star ratings to categories that you define (such as "value", "price", "support", "ease of use") to your comment forms - turning them instantly into compelling and powerful Amazon-style customer reviews.

Includes Affiliate Link Tools

New v2.0 of WP Review Site also enables you to manage your affiliate links from one central Admin Panel.  You can specify an affiliate url for each post or page that you write.

Another great feature of WP Review Site is they've thought about who will want to use this simple comparison site plugin.

Single License: You can, quite simply, get a single license to use on one domain you own. You can then use the plugin to power an entire comparison site website, or just use it as one section of your website. This makes it a great "must have" for anybody with an existing business who wants to find ways to bring free traffic to their site - give people a great review site and see the traffic grow.

Multi-Site License: For those of you who have more than one website, or intend to, then there's a multi-site license. If you've already got 3-4 websites (or more), then the multi-site license would enable you to create a new review section on all your existing sites - and then create more/new comparison sites for yourself in other areas.

Developer License: There's also a Developer License - this allows you to use the plugin to design websites for clients. If you're an existing web developer, looking for a new income stream, why not offer this niche service to your existing and new clients - or, if you're a web developer who is finding business tough at the moment, why not set yourself up as a specialist in building comparison websites for companies locally, nationally or globally.

Be in profit after your first sale with the Developer License - you could create comparison websites from scratch, to sell on. So you're flipping websites. Buy a domain name, install Wordpress, set up a comparison website, sell the whole domain/site on. If you could sell just two per week it'd really be a great income! And that'd be something you could do part-time.

The single site and multi site licenses are non-transferrable. Only with a developer license can you sell a website using the plugin and theme without the buyer purchasing their own license.

This makes this a great Start Your Own Business idea!
