I am using another similar, but little known script that does something similar to this one (I won't say which, I want it to remain little-known, including by Google :)), but it does not have an unlimited domain license. And you've gotta love Wordpress and all the flexibility that brings.

I want to do as much cya as possible. Above you mentioned that you rename everything. What is "everything?" I'm going to add this plugin to one of my sites that isn't ranking at all, to get my feet wet with it. I figure it can't hurt too much to learn how to use it on a site that isn't doing anything.

It would be nice to have a bit more control over auctions like BANS gave (even phpBay can't provide those sort of options) but obviously this starts to make a simple tool more complex. At the moment I'm preferring a combination of phpbay, phpzon, reviewazon and wprobot which enables you to mix things up in a more unique (I use the word loosley) way.

Just bought k2w on your link. I have not tried it out yet, but what's been your experience as far as: How well does k2w handle keyword phrases that are longer than a word or two or three? I have & love mnf, but there are so many other easy and cheap ways to dig actually-used longer keyword phrases, that if tolerated by a tool like this could produce sites that blanket a niche. I suppose that scraped content for longer keyword phrases is too much to ask, but I was wondering if k2w can return on-target products based on multi-word phrases.

I plan to put links / banners and charge them a fee. How can I track the number of outgoing links from my site to an external site per day/week/month?
