Really Awesome WordPress Review Site Plug-In

I recently had the pleasure of coming across a really cool WordPress plug-in called WP Review Site . It is a premium plug-in meaning you can’t download it free but to be honest with the money making potential from a plug-in like this is simply endless. Before you ask, the answer is Yes, I did purchase this product and currently using it! I love it…

WP Review Site enables you to your WordPress blog in to a full blown review site. Whether you want to have a review site for web hosting companies like AvekHost or review site for digital cames then opportunity is there and endless.

By using this plug-in you can create multiple categories for users/consumers to review a product or service on. Instead of the user seeing your standard comment section on an article post, they will see the comment section with a powerful review future included. You can see it in action on iHostCoupons.com.

Here is a few snap shots of this great plug-in…

1. Blog Post Article – Is transformed into an opportunity to post information about the product or service. It displays an overall rating based collectively on the reviews left in what used to be the comment section of your wordpress blog. Add Google Adsense for additional revenue making opportunities!

2. Abilty To Create Top 10 Ranking – This function enables you to allow your site visitors to see the top 10 rated products or services. For example, maybe you are maintaining a review site on digitial cameras you would see the top 10 cameras in this list based on the overall review.

3.  Comment Section Transformed – This section looks very similar with the exception that the individual providing a comment can rate the product/service based on a few various categories.

4. Ability To See Reviews By Others – No different than a blogs ability to display user comments; users can see the review written by other users including how many stars the provided for each category.

The July month is probably my favorite month of the year. Naturally it is summer time but most importantly we have the honor and opportunity to celebrate our Independence here in the United States on July 4th.
