Many of my Talian AdSense theme users use the Massive Passive Profits Autoblog Plugin by Bill McRea.
Massive Passive Profits Reloaded: The WordPress autoblog plugin that puts your sites content on steroids, generate massive websites easily and earn passive profits.
In the Stallion WordPress SEO Theme and Stallion Responsive Theme you will find a new settings under the Stallion theme options pages, when turned on a new Massive Passive Profits options page will be available.
MPP Autoblog Plugin SEO
Turn SEO ON/OFF
When set to SEO ON, affiliate links and links to article source etc… will be hidden from search engines using javascript. Your visitors will see a standard text link or in the case of the Amazon buy now image an image link they can click like any other link (will take them to Amazon or the Article sources etc…). Search engines can not access advanced javascript see just the anchor text of the link or the image minus the link component (it’s not clickable).
This gives you the best of both worlds SEO wise, you don’t waste link benefit on affiliate type links, but the anchor text of those links (which is keyword rich with the Massive Passive Profits Plugin) is still counted by the search engines.
Downside of this SEO technique is visitors with javascript turned off see what search engines see and they can’t click the links: it’s estimated below 10% of users have javascript turned off. IMO it’s a small price to pay for removing an affiliate footprint and saving a lot of link benefit (I use this SEO technique on all my autoblogs and thin affiliate sites).
Also fixed a few formatting issues with autoblog content (nothing serious) and changed the image rating setting for Amazon products, by default when an image has no rating it links to an image (0.png) that doesn’t exist and adds no rating number. Since we want visitors to buy the product changed it to point to the 4 star rating :-)
Amazon Buy Now Image
Changing this files filename partially removes (see next setting for full removal) of a very easy to find affiliate footprint that search engines like Google could use to find and downgrade autoblogs.
Also nice to have 13 different images to choose from.
MPP Plugin Image Folder
This changes the folder location of the MMP plugins images (Amazon buynow button and YouTube video rating images).
You can leave it as the new default (within the Stallion themes folder) or for even better removal of this affiliate footprint set the location by copying (use FTP: Filezilla for example) the image folder (found within the Stallion themes zip file) somewhere on your server (you can also rename it) and setting the location box with format /nameoffolder/ for location www.example.com/nameoffolder/ or /wp-content/uploads/images/ for location www.example.com/wp-content/uploads/images/ (in this example I renamed the /nameoffolder/ folder to /images/ and uploaded to /wp-content/uploads/ using FTP). You can put this folder anywhere on the main domain and rename it whatever you like.
These two Massive Passive Profits Plugin image features would make it almost impossible for a search engine to use that image as a way to find and downgrade your autoblogs.
WordPress SEO Autoblog Plugin
All three settings will work on both old and new autoblogs.
the Stallion Theme Plugin Addon works on the content just before it’s served to a browser/search engine. It doesn’t rewrite the content in your database, so old posts are rewritten as well as new.
You could have a 10,000 page autoblog have all it’s link benefit wasting nofollow affiliate links removed with a few clicks of the mouse after installing Stallion.
Non Massive Passive Profits Plugin Users
The advanced SEO javascript technique bundled with stallion 6 can be used on any affiliate link. See the Cloak Affiliate Links Tutorial to see how I use this feature on all my affiliate sites including this affiliate link to the WPRobot Autoblog Plugin sales page (looks like any other text link other than the redirecting URL, it isn’t, it wastes no link benefit, but you can still click it).

Alternative to Amazon Affiliate Program?
Hi
I’m considering using your wp theme
Here’s my problem:
I’m one of the residents of 7 or 8 States that were unceremoniously booted from Amazon’s affiliate program over the sales tax issue. We feel like step-children because monetization programs seldom give us an alternate to Amazon.
Perhaps I missed something in the description of this plugin..?
Is there an alternative?
Thanks for listening.
Alternative to Amazon Affiliate Program?
Autoblog WordPress Theme
Think you are mixing up the Massive Passive Profits Autoblog Plugin and the Stallion SEO Ad Theme.
The Stallion SEO Ad Theme, doesn’t create content for a website, it’s a WordPress theme that presents the content to search engines as best as possible and montizes the content. Stallion doesn’t specifically cover Amazon ads, easy to add them as widgets.
Stallion includes built in ad programs
AdSense, Chitika, Kontera, Infolinks.
Sounds like you are an autoblogger who has been using Amazon as a major part of your autoblogging?
The Massive Passive Profits Autoblog Plugin creates content for a site and one of the main content types is Amazon, the other two are articles and YouTube videos the latter two of which are not by default monetized, so if you are autoblogging content that’s pre-monetized (like Amazon content) the Massive Passive Profits Autoblog Plugin isn’t for you.
Take a look at the WP Robot autoblog plugin, see WP Robot Review. WPRobot has over 20 content modules including Amazon, but also eBay, Clickbank, Linkshare, Commission junction, Shareasale and others many of which generate content that’s pre-monetized. Those similar to Amazon include Shareasale, Commission Junction and Linkshare (and others), they all generate product pages like Amazon.
The Stallion theme has built in features to improve the SEO output of both the Massive Passive Profits plugin and WProbot, Stallion rewrites some of the content and as it’s an ad theme adds additional monetization. Stallion is perfect for autobloggers using WPRobot.

WordPress Autoblog Home Page
David,
I recently upgraded to Stallion 6.2 and am using MPP in conjunction. My website will not go to the homepage and instead it now goes to a single page with just one post instead of my normal 15-20 posts per day. I’m not sure if this is a Stallion problem or a hosting (hostgator) problem. Do you have any idea what may be happening?
Thanks,
Randy
P.S. I’m not sure if I’m in your support area for comments?
WordPress Autoblog Home Page
WordPress Front Page Displays Setting
Sounds like you’ve set the “Front Page Displays” setting under
Settings >> Reading
If you click the “A static page (select below)” and select a page that’s the page that’s shown on the front page.
Change it back to the default “Your latest posts” and it will show a set of archives again.
If it’s not that Stallion doesn’t change the layout of the home page in a way that would only show one post, so not a Stallion theme issue.

Multisite Content Poster by Bill McRea
Is Stallion compatible with Bill McRea’s new Multisite Content Poster plug which seems like just an update to Massive Passive Profits? Can you see any major benefits to upgrading to Multisite Content Poster?
Premium WP Theme License
Hi David, when purchasing the license key for this Stallion wp theme is it only good for one blog, or many of my personal blogs?
Thanks,
Don

Pretty much unlimited, see near the bottom of the home page “Stallion SEO Theme License” for current license details.

MPP Amazon Buy Now Image
Hello,
I’m sure I’m overlooking something simple…I’m using Stallion SEO version 7.1.1 with MPP and on my post pages the Amazon “Buy Now” button and price appears twice, on every page for every Amazon link. Please advise what I may be doing incorrectly.
Thanks!
Massive Passive Profits Autoblog Amazon Button
I think you’ll find you’ve added the code for the Amazon button twice on the MPP template page.
Not looked at Massive Passive Profits for ages, if I recall correctly it uses shortcodes for titles, Amazon buttons etc… so guessing you’ve added the button shortcode twice by mistake.
David
Amazon Buy Now Buttons
Hi,
I’m running Massive Passive Profits.
I’ve checked the box to bring up MPP’s special page and ticked the radio button to change the Amazon button style to the yellow “Buy Now” button.
I saved both pages, it’s SEO is on and new posts were made, but nothing happened. I still have the skinny, blue “More Information” button showing. Where did I go wrong?
Thanks!
Amazon Buy Now Buttons
Massive Passive Profits Autoblog Plugin Amazon Buy Now Image
Without seeing the site difficult to say, but I’d guess the format of the Amazon image link output by Massive Passive Profits isn’t matching what the Stallion addon plugin is looking for.
Stallion looks for this image link format:
or
Where (.*?) can be anything.
Note they both look the same, but there’s an extra space before alt=
for example if you’ve installed the Massive Passive Plugin into a folder other than
/wp-content/plugins/wp-mpp/
or you changed the Massive Passive Profit settings so the button doesn’t have that exact format, Stallion won’t find the image code.
If you don’t want to post a link to your autoblog here, first thing to check is what your Buy Now image code looks like. View source in Firefox, Chrome, IE etc… and find the code for the buynow.gf image and see if it matches the formats above.
Been a while since I looked at the Massive Passive Profits options pages etc…, but it’s very precise, if you edited the Massive Passive Profits options to say not have an alt attribute the image code won’t match.
If they don’t match there’s two solutions, change the Massive Passive Profits settings so they do or edit the Stallion file /stallion-seo-theme/plugins/mpp_seo.php to create a rule that matches your output.
For example if the plugin is installed in a folder called /chickens/ and you’ve deleted the alt attribute code you’d add something like this to around line 109
$content = preg_replace('/<img src="(.*?)/wp-content/plugins/chickens/img/buynow.gif" title="(.*?)" />/i', '<img src="$1' . get_option('mpp_images_folder') . '' . get_option('mpp_amazon_button') . '" alt="$2" />', $content);Without seeing the site I’m making an educated guess.
