Affiliate Challenge Entry – Unfair Bank Charges

A few posts ago I mentioned that I would be entering the Affiliate Challenge. I’ve now been working on a few hours and it’s very much underway. Seeing as the concept has already been revealed by Detective Matt, I thought I would reveal a few details.

The site is aimed at the Unfair Bank Charges market – there is currently only one affiliate program that offers a revenue share on this service, so I imagine that adsense will also be used across the site.

I decided on using WordPress to update the site as I’ve been hugely impressed with it since converting my blog over in November.

I’ve only made a few modifications to the form, but I have installed the following plugins which are certainly some of my favorites:

- Adhesive: Allows €œsticky€ posts
- Admin Menu: Displayers an admin toolbar at the top of the site when logged in
- Adsense-Deluxe: An adsense plugin, surprisingly.
- SEO Title Tag: Allows you to do loads with your title field via one of the option pages
- Sidebar Widgets: Allows you to modify the sidebar quickly and easily via the template section
- Ultimate Tag Warrior: A tagging plugin that’s used on this site too and is required for SEO Title Tag
- WP-Forum – A build in wordpress forum

I still have a few more to install and will update when these are done – now that the site has started to take shape my main priority will be to get some content created and then look to get a few links in. At the moment I’m hoping to get quite a bit of content sorted by the end of the week and then a bit of link building over the weekend.

I’d also like to run some kind of viral email – I’m still deciding on exactly how this will work but I have a few thoughts in mind.

Hopefully within the next two weeks I will start to see a bit of traffic.

Oh – almost forgot the link: Unfair Bank Charges
