WP Guardian 1.0.1 Update Released

October 16, 2009  |  General  |  No Comments  | 

We just sent out download links to our WP Guardian customers for WP Guardian 1.0.1. It isn’t the big update we have planned for next week and adds no new features. It contains a few minor bug fixes. If you’re a WP Guardian customer and didn’t receive an update, please contact us and let us know.

Also, WP Guardian customers voted and the new feature that will be added for WP Guardian 1.1 will be better Link Management. We’ve already started to work on this feature and will report back soon.

First WP Guardian Add-ons Coming!

October 14, 2009  |  General  |  No Comments  | 

Last Friday’s WP Guardian launch was well received and had an overwhelmingly positive response. We’re very happy so far and have taken some of the initial feedback of customers and started work on the first set of add-on plugins for WP Guardian. They will be priced very fairly and run between $5-15. They will require WP Guardian to function.

The first two add-ons that will be released will be:

  • Referrer Control – This add-on will be used to blank and cloak referrers from advertisements. We’re going to make it as easy-to-use as possible and its functionality will be built directly into WP Guardian’s admin interface.
  • Registered Users Only – This add-on will allow blog owners to force their visitors to sign-up as WP users to receive access to posts.

Our plan is to release these add-ons as soon as they are finished. We are also planning a release of WP Guardian 1.1 which will include some optimizations and a new feature currently being voted on by current WP Guardian customers. If you’re a customer, definitely join the support forums and get involved in the vote!

Last but not least, FG customers should expect a Forum Generator update by the end of next week. We’ve made a few optimizations and fixed a few bugs that effect some users. The update announcement will be made to the mailing list, forum, as well as posted here on our blog.

As always, if you have any questions, post them as comments here or click that little Questions tab on the left-hand side of your screen.

WordPress Guardian Launching Today!

October 9, 2009  |  General  |  No Comments  | 

A few months ago, we fell in love with the new WordPress API and decided that we wanted to put together our first commercial plugin. We worked on it with a good friend of ours and right before we were supposed to launch, we ran into issue after issue and decided to delay. The wait is over and we’re proud to announce that we’ll be launching WordPress Guardian later today.

WordPress Guardian is an inexpensive, powerful “code breaker“-style plugin for WordPress (2.8+) that gives blog owners the capability to easily monetize their content by combining the tools that make the new web work with the simplicity of WordPress.

This simple-to-use, but powerful tool offers:

  • Simple ad customization
  • 2-click Ad-to-post assignment
  • Thoughtless ad rotation
  • Geographical targeting on an ad-to-ad basis
  • Control ad’s distance from top of browser window
  • Color wheel control for overlay color
  • Control overlay opacity
  • Control delay before unlock
  • Optional right click locking
  • Optional scrollbar locking
  • Custom “teaser” ad delays
  • Control how long users have access to blog
  • Allows ads on the index, pages (about, etc), categories, & searches
  • Ads work on almost all modern (and not-so modern) browsers
  • Doesn’t negatively effect SEO
  • Works with new and old blogs alike

Whether you’re looking to monetize auto-blogs you started yesterday or breathe new life into well-indexed blogs you started years ago, WordPress Guardian is the right plugin for the job.
