Products: Gossamer Links: Development, Plugins and Globals: [ NEW PLUGIN ] PriorityListingPro v1.1: Edit Log

Here is the list of edits for this post
[ NEW PLUGIN ] PriorityListingPro v1.1
PriorityListingPro

NB: This is similar to the BuyPriorityListing plugin here: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/...?post=297510#p297510. The major difference, is some more advanced admin panel functions - and the ability to decide on different prices for the positions of their listing (i.e position 1, position 2, etc). If you aren't looking for this feature, then the more basic version would work for you better (not to mention being $75 better off for your wallet :))

This plugin lets you "sell" top-spots in your directory, in their specific category. For example, if someone is listed in "Games" - but is on the 3rd page, they most likely want to be at the top. With this plugin, you can sell them xx days (i.e 60 days) at the top of the category. In the plugin settings you can define how many spots are allowed to be allocated per category (default is 3). This is to stop the whole of the page being filled up with "priority" listings =)

PRICE: $175 (this plugin is part of our ULTRA Package Pro offer - http://www.ultranerds.com/...bin/details/134.html)

Plugin Description

This plugin lets you "sell" top-spots in your directory, in their specific category. For example, if someone is listed in "Games" - but is on the 3rd page, they most likely want to be at the top. With this plugin, you can sell them xx days (i.e 60 days) at the top of the category. In the plugin settings you can define how many spots are allowed to be allocated per category (default is 3). This is to stop the whole of the page being filled up with "priority" listings =)

For example, you may have 5 spots you want to "sell" at the top of your category. This plugin lets you do that, with automated expiration of their "priority listing" (this doesn't affect their main listing - i.e when their paid listing expires, their link will still show in the category they are assigned to).

Lets say we have these prices:

$50 - Spot 1 (best)
$40 - Spot 2
$30 - Spot 3
$20 - Spot 4
$10 - Spot 5 (worst)

Now, although the 5th spot is the worst (out of the priority listings), it will still show up above unpaid listing (thus making it worth while someone purchasing the 5th spot, even though the higher paid listings will show up above them)

If they were to pay for the 3rd spot, for 3 months - then you are talking about $90 - just from one paid listing. Obviously this isn't a guaranteed figure, as it will depend on the popularity of your site / how many people add links to your site / the number of people willing to part with their money for a priority listing on your site.

However, even if you only sell a few spots a month - you will have made the money back from this plugin Smile

Plugin Requirements

  1. Gossamer Links (3.x +)
  2. A PayPal account (to receive payments)


Features

This plugin has the following features:
  • Ability for users to just log in, and goto: priority.cgi , to see a list of their links - and then click "buy spot" if they want to promote their links.
  • Easy to use PayPal payment system to purchase spots.
  • Makes sure only xx spots are assigned to a single category, to stop crowding.
  • Simple interface in admin area to view current "priority listings"
  • Easy way to assign a link a priority spot, without having to pay via PayPal
  • Very little template work needed :)


If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Screenshots can be found on this page: http://www.ultranerds.com/...rityListingPro_L199/
