The only part which functions as a price comparison type section is the Shopping.com function of NSP. CompariPress is really completely different to any aspect of NSP and I would struggle to even compare them. If you love WordPress then CompariPress may be for you, if you’re not really into WordPress then NSP is definitely for you.

Hope that helps.

Is there a component of CompariPress in your new product called Niche Site Platform?

Thank you for your reply!

Thank you for stopping by :).

Certainly, I’ll launch the affiliate program after the launch period at some point.

Ben

Another customer of yours as well here :)

Just got your email regarding the Comparipress.
Can’t wait for the launch!

Any plan for affiliate program here?

Thanks,

I’m glad you’ve enjoyed using phpOStock :).

I’m not revealing a final price yet but I will say that you will not have to pay a recurring subscription and I will be setting a 30% discount for the first 7 days.

Everyone on the CompariPress.com pre-launch list will receive access 24 hours early and I’ll be announcing the date and time very soon for that very soon!

Thank you for your interest.
Ben

I purchased your phpOstock plugin few months ago, it works great for my niche sites!
Look forward for this plugin! :)

Do you have a plan for the price? Will it be recurring or will it be one time purchase?

Thanks!

Look forward to getting the plugin and converting my ePN sites to anything else-LOL!

Just as a quick update on this, we spent yesterday working on this feature and now have it fixed, up and running, so you can dis-regard the above now as you PCUs will automatically update daily so no need for you to worry:).

Ben

You will have to add the PCUs to previous posts, if you can think of a way to simplify that part then we would certainly love to hear it:) but essentially a PCU MUST be created and MUST be assigned to a post, there is no getting around that. We have actually simplified the process GREATLY by eliminating the need for post/page shortcode, this means unless you want to change the default insert location of the PCU then you actually never have to visit a post when assigning, editing, updating or removing a PCU.

In all honesty it doesn’t take that long to do, I filled an entire review site of 50 posts yesterday in just under 1 hour.

With regards to auto filling, the Shopzilla plugin uses one API which I believe is based on the Shopping.com affiliate API. This is how CompariPress originally started by using the Shopping.com API and would have enabled you to simply add one product or keyword and you would have had a list of price comparisons a long with the product you were displaying. In fact I still have this version running on one of my own sites. But ALL of the work is done by their API, you have to do nothing server side other than parse and display the results AND you have very little control over the products you display in the way of price comparison offers. In fact, unless you were using a specific item number we found the results to be very un-predictable. Secondly you would only have earned PER CLICK, which (from feedback) was something a lot of people were not that happy about. Whereas with CompariPress you are earning a full affiliate commission which could be anything up to 10% and above depending on the merchant and the product sold.

Making the plugin auto create price comparisons IS possible but it would take away almost all of the control we are giving you over selecting which products you want to display. What you have to imagine is that with Shopzilla you are using one search engine, one database and one affiliate program, with CompariPress you are using 3 affiliate networks, thousands of merchants and millions of products so you really do have a massive diversity from an affiliate point of view.

I hope this helps in answering your question.

Thank you for stopping by :)
Ben

What about our previous posts. will we have to go back and select a price comparison for every one or will there be a simplified method. Is it possible to have the price comparison auto fill? I have heard of a shopzilla plugin that does the this.

We”re actually working on that new function at the moment so fingers crossed it maybe something we can get into the plugin either by next week or certainly the very near future.

Thanks
Ben

I forgot this isn’t an EPN affiliate plugin so it’s not that important to update the products and prices. And thank God for that!

I completely understand what you are saying but you certainly don’t need to update your sites daily as products aren’t going to be changing that often. At the moment I do it along side other scheduled tasks such as dealing with 404′s, updating plugins, updating the maxmind databases for geo targeting etc.

We’ll certainly get this feature implemented as soon as we can though.

Thanks for stopping by.
Ben :)

I hope you’ll get the auto update functionality up and running quickly. Having to check my sites daily to update them does not appeal to me at all and I definitely don’t want my visitors clicking on links and getting a surprise.

Wondered where this has gone. looks great. Well done

That’s certainly something we could look into, it wouldn’t be hard to do but it would be a case of working out how you wanted it to work and what you wanted it to do in the way of functionality.

But I’ve created a board in the forum specifically for this product and within that there is a place for feature requests so we are always open to ideas.

Ben

I was just wondering whether or not you will be including a sidebar widget / or php code for the side bar in a future version.Just a thought.

Beau

We don’t currently have a php or API based version but it maybe something we look at in the near future if it’s something that people want. We have an ‘off site’ version which enabled you to create a PCU on our servers and display it on your own sites but that’s not something we’re making public at the moment I’m afraid.

Thanks for your interest.
