Are you interested in "Pimping An Existing WordPress Site" if so I have created this short video on how to accomplish that task. In the video you will see how to upload the proper plugins to an existing WordPress site using Filezilla and also using your site's Cpanel.

Mike,
I have a few questions about site pimping:
1. I have about a dozen free WP blogs (on WP.com) that will be ready to be pimped on Jan ’11 (6 month mark). Obviously I’ll have to upload them onto my host’s server and will have to buy/change their domain names. Are the backlinks lost when I change the domain names for the sites?
2. I transferred a 10yr old livejournal blog to my host’s server (with a new domain name and running WP.org 3.0). When blogs get transferred like this, do they lose their backlinks?
3. I’m guessing I’d only want to use an SEO program (like rankbuilder, etc) when I transfer my free WP blogs to my host’s server. That way, any backlinks that are created will point to the newly created domain names. Correct?
Thanks for the help Mike…really appreciate your input.

Elliott please PM me with this so we can set a time to talk about it
Hi Mike,
In regards to my previous question above….in reading and viewing more on your site I think my answer will be in creating a template. Also, I forgot to mention the only content I want is the product description and or possible amazon customer reviews. I have a static home page for my content..so everything else will just be products…
Correct me if I’m wrong on this please.
Regards,
Steve
You can build a template that will pull only products yes. If you want better control over what you want as far as product information you might look into getting phpZon.
Hi Mike,
I was just looking at your videos on Pimping My Site. Nice job btw.
I just want to list Amazon products on my pimped site via the Affiliate Mage, but looking at the plug-in setup I didn’t see anyway to disable the other affiliate listings like ebay etc…I only want Amazon at this time. Is it possible with the Affiliate Mage. I don’t want to change my master core in the mage because I have other sites using all of the affiliate providers.
Thanks,
Steve
I am trying to pimp a site and everything goes well, no error messages, but when I try to post, the posting won’t work, not even for 1 post. Tech support tells me I might have some Permission Issues and they want my Cpanel and wp-admin info which I am not wanting to give right now. My version of wordpress is 2.8 something so it is not a 3.0 issue.
Can you thjink of anything that might be the problem?
Well if no one can see your site then no one can help on this issue
Steve thanks for stopping by. If your site is built and you want to add post and have Amazon as the only source you will use Posting Mage. There is a wizard like the one you used to initially build the site. If all you want is Amazon then just leave all othere unchecked when creating the new posts.
Excellent stuff Mike. Much easier for me than the Mage Spellbook instructions.
Thanks Tony hope it helps and have fun.
Me and partner purchased WPMage in late June..we have had to work really hard to figure out some of the tech issues with the existing mage site. Lots of things have changed. I’ve been on vacation, and am pimping some existing sites, but had lots of problems. I would like to be on the conference tomorrow, so do I just come to this site? We were trying to pimp the existing site we built. We now have about 40 sites going…
