Kelkoo WP Plugin - Direct or via TD

[scriptmonkey]

Tweet

As promised, here's the kelkoo WP plugin, which you can use either directly (if you have a contract with kelkoo), or, via TD if you're joined up to their program on TD.

It's very simple to use:

Usage: Into your posts or pages, in html view insert this [kk q="white shoes" n="10" t="and"]
q = query string
n = number of results
t = query type (choose and OR or) and gives you better focussed results, or gives you a match on all the query keywords.

The defaults are: n="10" t="and" so, you can, if you wish, omit those.

At this stage, there is no choice of categories, nor sorting options, but, those will come depending on whether they're requested or not.

You will need a kelkoo affiliate ID (separate to your TD ID), a kelkoo tracking ID and a TD ID.

There is one link back to the easyapi website on each product set, if you want to remove it, then get in touch.

Any questions, ask here.

Hi Tony
couple of quick questions:

1. Just a thought, will this plugin create links that result in a click through to merchant, therefore providing a lead for each click?

I'm having some trouble with my current method in that only about 50% of clicks are resulting in a lead, even though they all go straigh to the merchant, so hoping your plugin will help with this issue.

2. Is there anyway using the plugin to target specific products? Ideally I'm after a way to create my own product blocks (up to about 5 products) that I can populate myself with specific products.

Thanks for your hard work

1) I have followed TDs linking method to take the links through TD and then direct to the merchant, I don't know if the tracking should be changed, as it's set up the way they said it should be. (I don't use TD for kelkoo, so I'm not in a position to tell whether they track or not)

2) What do you mean by specific products? You could put a model number for a washing machine for example, and it should return you as many of that model as you specify with the n attribute.

This shortcode will give you five Hotpoint WML540 Machines in Graphite

[kk q="WML540G" n="5"]

This one, five in Polar White

[kk q="WML540P" n="5"]

You could even use them on the same page/post

You're welcome

Ok thanks Tony

Will give it a try. I'm targetting stuff that doesnt normally have a model number, instead usually just a name, and the kelkoo widget has had problems picking it up.

Will try and get some time tonight to have a play

There are other things that could be built into the plugin, a category ID and price range, but, I thought I'd keep it simple to begin with.

These extras would only take 20 mins or so to code into it.
