CB Manna - my latest product - FREE download
Possibly, most long-term readers know where I direct most of my business energies.
I liken myself to the "shovel and pickaxe sellers" of the Gold Rush era - I sell products and services to other Internet Marketers (the miners), whilst I stand by ready to sell a shovel (or mechanical digger) to help them on their way…
So, with this in mind, I had my programmer create a little exe file which allows the user to define a "list" of keywords and the chosen Click Bank Hoplink into a text file. This text file is then "read" by the program, and along with some other options, links are output onto textual documents. It works pretty well, particularly for a free product
Here is the README, in all it's glory;
ClickBank Manna (aka CB Manna)
This is a very simple tool which allows you to define words and phrases which are then transformed into ClickBank Links by defining your chosen options, links and style - then "spinning" txt articles through the tool.
Usage
Please note that CB Manna is designed to be used on non-proprietary text formats such as .txt - it WILL NOT WORK on compiled formats such as .doc, .sxw and so on.
Step 1
Create a txt file called "words.txt" - this is a database of words and phrases which are linked to a clickbank hoplink.
Step 2
Simply insert your words and phrases into words.txt, seperated by a | (on most keyboards this is the character found on the "backslash key" + shift)…
In addition, at the end of your phrase block, place TWO hyphens and then the hoplink you wish to link them to.
Example:
sinus|sinuses|respiratory problems–2bewellkel
templates|template|smarticle templates–actemp
Make sure to save the file before use!
Make sure that there are no spaces before or after your phrases, the following example is WRONG: templates | template|smarticle templates –actemp
Step 3
Choose Target.
Choose whether to open the links in a new browser window (new page) or not (self).
Step 4
Choose Style Name.
This allows you to give the links style (eg pretty colours, underlines, fades etc) by using the power of CSS. See http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp
Step 5
Select your input and output directory.
Input directory is where the txt files that you wish to "clickbankise" are stored.
Output directory is where you wish to save the changed txt files to.
Step 6
Press "Go"
Your article are now transformed and saved into the "output" directory.

This software is given freely to you, by me Gary Burton. This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
As you can see, the README is straight and to the point. There is nothing worse than downloading a product and having to read through reams of information (in my opinion).
So, if you want to give this product a try, and resell it, or give it away, or bin it, or use it - you can download it and give it a whirl. As I already pointed out, I give no Warranty and thus no Technical Support for this free product.
I hope you find it useful - I know that I do.

This is a really cool program,
many thanks Gary. As with your SmArticle and PLR Manna programs, the power is in its speed & simplicity. It took less than a second to spin 100 Plr articles! That's fast!
CB Manna might be worthy of further development and if you are looking for ideas, I have a few.
Thanks again.
regards,
BrianC
