Here's some of the highlights:
-Works as a stand alone meta-search
engine. This is like Dogpile
or other meta engine that returns results from more than one engine. Except
your CherryBomb meta engine only returns links from the ppc affiliate programs,
so you earn cash.
-List the links that pay you the most
are listed first, increasing your chances for profitability.
-No waiting for the programer to update
your script.
-Not limited by terms of service by
any particular engine. All
engines have different TOS's that allow you different rights or types of
sites they will accept. By having access to virtually all ppc/XML feeds you
have a much better chance of finding a "perfect match" for you site's needs.
-Intergrates seamlessly into html
pages with DomBoms and other
content feeds (requires ssi).
-Search engine optimization features
are built in to help your
pages generate traffic that the "plug and play" portals can't match. See how your search word: nasa hotels" is placed here? The ability and control to add your keywords, nasa hotels", in strategic places is essential!
-Uses any web template (layout
restrictions apply as you need a certain amount of space for search results).
Why be imprisioned by some predefined web template someone else "picked"
for you?
-Protects against any particular problems
with a certain ppc affiliate
program. Maybe they change their pay structure or go out of business. Or
maybe one ppc's results become too slow or they have changed their guidelines
for "advertiser links" and now their results aren't relevant.
Since you are at the controls, events
that could be catostrophic to your business are now nothing more than
a simple 2 minute update. Why risk your business on other ppc systems that
are inflexible?
-Installation is extremely
easy. Upload CherryBomb.cgi
and the text files in text mode. Set permisions/chmod CherryBomb.cgi to 755.
Installation is complete. (Note: You'll have to modify the config files with
your own affiliate codes.)
Requirements:
Linux, Unix server, with the perl module
LWP:Simple module (This is a "plug in" for perl that allows getting data
from another site). Most hosts have LWP:Simple already installed. And of
those that don't most will install it for free. Just ask them to be
sure.
Installation: Ability to FTP and set
permissions.
Integration into html requires the use
of SSI. If you want to use SSI with .html (instead of .shtml) pages, you
will also need an .htaccess file (we give you one, it's simple so don't let
this scare you). Most hosts allow SSI and htaccess. Just ask them to be
sure.
In order to get paid, you will need to
apply to, and be accepted by, any or all ppc affiliate programs.
Basic knowledge of html/webdesign is
suggested.
Slow hosts and servers may need to limit
their total number of ppc's to 1-3. This varies from host to host..
