Comment on SEO Super Comments WordPress Plugin by Mark.
More brainstorming ideas for Stallion or SEM and online money in general: These might be worth nothing but I thought I would put them out there is any might be practical. They are ideas.
Problem: Many people sell products online yet Paypal looks basic:
Solution: A snappy online merchant tool
1)Develop a simple online merchant feature (maybe a simple shopping cart feature, something that will enhance sales like expander does for marketing).
I personally use Paypal for my products, however, is there any value in creating SEO or cool stylistic cart . For example – like little shopping cart icons and arrows to enhance sales – perhaps tested with Google google optimizer tool A/B test. It could even be sold as a separate plugin. The A/B testing part would be a time investment on your part. For example, with graphical design colors and styles for the cart or arrows leads to greater sales after a series of trials and progressive A/B tests.
I would buy an SEOed and SEMed merchant tool. As per our conversation monetization over diverse streams of income is not a bad idea, i.e. not just Adsense but also Clickbank or your own shop. I think there are a lot of people who sell their own services and products and this feature might have some demand.
Problem: Time on site and repeat visits is important for Google:
Solution: Continue to develop the great super comments plugin
2)Expand on the idea of community with the Super comments plugin to include things like comment cloud or other things that entice people to comment or feel at home like a community. I have had lackluster experiences with bbPress and BuddyPress in terms of set up and functionality compared to your super comments. So continue the development of super comments in various ways. Ways that would get people coming back and feeling at home.
Other less practical ideas:
3) I am not a grammarian, however, I have to clean up a lot of my commentors comments. I use ‘After the Deadline’ for my own comment checks, is there a way to make the commentors see their mistakes? Maybe all this would make the code too heavy?
4)User interaction things: The ability for users to upload things to an area on your site like art or stories submitted. – Classified ad (some people charge for a job board etc but I image you need a huge following) or dating site plugin or These are way off in left field but also consideration for plugin ideas. All these might not be worth it in terms of cost/benefit of development.
5) I actually like the site map feature on your Stallion theme. Anything that helps navigation or let people break up their site into areas maybe with different styles. WP menu does do a good job with navigation but I think navigation is a huge part of getting people to stay on the site. So I do not know what else could help this beyond that is in current functionality.
I think you have the – Magazine style homepage option somewhere o a long-term time frame – But I think this will be a great addition to Stallion.
As your online business expands maybe, hire a programmer that you guide to develop things like plugins and enhancements that you could sell.
If you ever need a beta tester for things let me know. I have a few low traffic sites I can test and give feedback on.
These are the current ideas I have. Maybe one is of value.
