CB Boss Lite Mall/MarketPlace Features

The MarketPlace or Mall is a good start for any Webmaster seeking to capture additional commissions that would otherwise be lost. Run CB Boss Lite as a 404 site or a complete marketplace on a fully qualified domain. Modify the categories to narrow down your CB Boss install to reflect your niche. Install a copy on every domain you own and stop missing easy commissions. Create your ads and use the link from CB Boss' Mall as your ads link. This method works well and looks cool when you have a link that looks like it points to a HTML page and not an obvious ClickBank link (Requires SEF link capability).

CB Boss Lite comes with a great deal of cool features to help tweak this script into a product that fits your needs.

• File driven for easy maintenance and installation.
• Runs on your own server, leaving you full control (very important).
• Easy to setup and use (for most ...there's no admin. area).
• Template driven for easy modifications (no tutorial yet).
• Free quality template to get you going.
• Custom positions for your own code output - great for banners, Adsense and such (no tutorial yet).
• Templated category display. Easy to modify for your niche (no tutorial yet).
• Options to tweak the script (no tutorial yet).
• Supported by a free Vendor DB. Updated regularly to keep your mall current. That's a free database file of more than 8000 unique vendors to get keep you going.
• It's possible to add custom pages and modules to this script, but I have no tutorials for this.
• No revenue sharing with CB Boss. You keep everything your site earns.
• Cloaked or non-cloaked hoplinks. There's three different options for link style.
• TID capable. Uses the ClickBank TID tracking parameter.
• Comes with a random vendor and featured module.
• Search Engine Friendly URLs - SEF requires Apache's Mod Rewrite module and enabling the .htaccess file by renaming it to .htaccess.
• Graphical representation of Gravity, Referred, TEPS (Total Earned Per Sale) , HRP (Has Recurring Product) and Popularity.
• Image capable display with any vendor listing.
• Search box for quick alternative searches. ...even searches for vendor ids.
• Hundreds of dynamically created pages of CB vendor listings - right out of the box.
• Runs as a catchall site - such as a 404 site.
• Installs and runs on most servers.
• Is Free to use.
• ...And possibly more that I wasn't able to think of while writing this.

The downside is, there's no install, no admin. area and some knowledge of modifying PHP variables is required to install this script. If you can upload files to your server and modify a couple of PHP variables in a txt file, then you can install this script. It only takes about 10 - 20 minutes. I've even created a simple script that can find and display your server's machine path - allowing you to easily copy and paste that path into the CB Boss configuration file. If you can't modify PHP variables, then I have a CB Boss forum set-up to answer questions and/or help you through the install process. When all-else fails or you just don't want to mess with an install, you can get CB Boss Lite professionally installed for only $8.95 per site.
