Out of the Affiliate Blog List ... BUMPZee! is Born

posted by jangro on (5 years, 1 month ago)

If you've been following along for the past few weeks, I've been busily developing what started out as a list of affiliate marketing blogs.

My imagination ran away and my fingers kept pouring out PHP and AJAX code and the end result was something MUCH bigger than a simple blog list.

The list initially turned into a feed aggregator, then digg-like features were added. At that point, user accounts were required, and from there it turned into a community website. Something I've been looking to do for a very long time.

It outgrew it's old place on a subdomain here on jangro.com, so I figured I'd better do something about that sooner rather than later.

I give you ... BUMPZee.com.

What's with that name? I decided to go broader than affiliate marketing in the name, though that's all there is on the site right now. Personally, I belong to a few other communities and I can see the same sort of thing developing, but they wouldn't mix with the affiliate stuff very well. So, with future growth in mind, I went with a silly web 2.0 type name.

So, affiliate marketers, this is your website. Create an account, spiff up your profile, keep up with industry news, and create your own. Pretty soon, I'm hoping this will be a place to connect with other affiliate marketers all over the world. Personally, in a very short time it's been responsible for my own meeting of several new people. And that's pretty cool.

Head on over to the BUMPzee! Affiliate Marketing Community.

(Soon after I post this, the old subdomain should redirect to the new site.)

    Congratulations! I had to laugh about your comment about the name. I remember reading this:
    http://www.fontshop.com/fontfeed/archives/web-2...

    It' href='http://www.fontshop.com/fontfeed/archives/web-20-logos.cfm">http://www.fontshop.com/fontfeed/archives/web-2...

    It'>http://www.fontshop.com/fontfeed/archives/web-20-logos.cfm">http://www.fontshop.com/fontfeed/archives/web-2...

    It even is two colors with an exclamation point! I love it - very catchy. I am off to create my profile.

    Scott, you are really outdoing yourself here. Don't know how you came up with the new name, but it's creative and fresh. It's getting better each day!

    There's a login error right after it shows "cookies test successful" and followed by an error message:

    Not Found The requested URL /profile.php was not found on this server.

    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    thanks guys.

    Leonard, I had a few people banging on the site today scaring out those errors and I guess that one sneaked through.

    If you can tell me what you did to get that, I'd appreciate it. (scott (at) jangro.com)

    (ADDED: I think I found the error, thanks!)

    When you try to submit a blog you get the url:

    http://www.bumpzee.com/affiliatemarketing/eblog...

    Which' href='http://www.bumpzee.com/affiliatemarketing/eblog.php">http://www.bumpzee.com/affiliatemarketing/eblog...

    Which'>http://www.bumpzee.com/affiliatemarketing/eblog.php">http://www.bumpzee.com/affiliatemarketing/eblog...

    Which throws out this error:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected TNEW in /home/jangro/publichtml/bumpzee/affiliatemarketing/eblog.php on line 38

    Loving Bumpzee, great to have all my favourite AM blogs in one place and with all the others I never knew about there's no chance of actually getting any work done now.

    Any chance of some code so we can add a bumpzee button to our blogs along side digg etc.

    Great work Scott - my only concern is if you go lots broader than affiliate marketing as the real value of the site is in the niche and that keeps it so relevant.

    All the best for whatever you plan though and well done :)

    thanks Fraser. I agree on the value of the niche and don't plan to broaden the affiliatemarketing community. Though it's possible that separate communities be set up. we'll see. I'll focus on this one for now.

    Must admit Bumpzee is turning into one of the site's that I make a bee-line for when I log on in the morning and when I want to take a break.

    With so many sites trying to catch on with the Web 2.0 buzz, it's actually great to find one that's useful!

    Well done Scott!

And my favorite BumpZee has 3140 pages indexed in Google, which I find phenomenal considering the fact that BumpZee went live with its own URL on January 12. [...]

    Help!

    My bump this button is appearing on every other page of my site, except for the main page. The instructions "place this code in your templates between the loop" is very vague. What is the loop?

    I've placed the code in both my index template and page template, but it still doesn't work. Can any one here guide me? Please? :(
