This section is where you input your unique settings for the affiliate plugin. It automatically adds your ID to affiliate links, ensuring you receive credit for sales generated through your site. By configuring these settings, you can effectively manage your affiliate links, ensuring consistent use of your affiliate ID across your website, which maximizes your potential earnings from the Amazon affiliate program.

1. Amazon Affiliate ID: 

• This is your unique Amazon Affiliate tracking ID. Anytime you include a link to an Amazon product in your content, your affiliate ID will be appended to the URL.
  
  
• This is how Amazon tracks referrals from your website and attributes sales to your account, allowing you to earn commissions.
  
  
• If there are already affiliate tags present in the Amazon links, this setting will replace them with your own. This ensures that you receive credit for any referrals rather than someone else.

2. Auto insert product card shortcode below the header

• This feature automatically inserts a “product card” shortcode right below the header of your posts but above the article tag. A product card includes product information like the name, image, and your affiliate link. This insertion is done using JavaScript.
  
  
• When this setting is enabled, the plugin will automatically inject the shortcode for the product card into your content without the need for manual editing. It uses JavaScript to do this dynamically when the page is rendered in the user's browser.
  
  
• The related product card is based on your post's slug.
  
  
• Sample product card:

3. Add a product card via a shortcode

• Shortcodes in WordPress are little bits of code that allow you to perform complex tasks with very little effort. In this context, a shortcode would be used to add a product card within your content manually.
  
  
• If the product card shortcode you add manually includes an Amazon link with someone else’s affiliate tag, this setting ensures that the existing tag is replaced with your own affiliate ID, ensuring that any sales generated go towards your affiliate account.
  
  
• Sample product card:
  

1. Disable Public View of WordPress API

• Disable WordPress API for unauthorized users or public view: The WordPress REST API provides access to site data in a readable format, which can be useful for developers who want to create apps or services that interact with your site. However, it can also potentially expose sensitive site information to the public or malicious actors. By disabling public access, you're adding a layer of security to your site by ensuring that only authorized users can access this API.
  
  
• Only logged in users can access the API: This setting restricts the use of the REST API to users who are logged in to your WordPress site with appropriate credentials. It means that if someone is not logged in, they will not be able to retrieve information or interact with your site using the REST API endpoints. This can help prevent unauthorized access and protect your site from certain types of attacks or unauthorized data access.
  
  
• This setting is beneficial if you want to maintain a higher level of security on your WordPress site, especially if there's no requirement for the general public or third-party services to access your site's API. It's a good practice to limit the access to your site's internals only to authorized and authenticated users, reducing the attack surface for potential exploits.

Works seamlessly with Rank Math SEO Plugin for better results on search engines. To install RankMath plugin if you haven't installed yet, follow this guide: Installing Rank Math Through the Admin Panel

1. Enable the Rank Math Meta Description of Posts via API:

• This setting allows external applications or services to access and possibly modify the meta description of your posts via the WordPress REST API.
  
  
• The meta description is a brief summary of a page's content that search engines often display in search results.
  
  
• Enabling this feature could be useful if you're using a service or custom development to manage SEO metadata on your posts.
  
  

2. FAQs Shortcode:

• This option enables the use of a shortcode to add Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) to your posts or pages. 
  
  
• When you use this shortcode, the plugin will format the FAQs in a structured way that is compatible with the schema markup. 
  
  
• Schema markup is code (semantic vocabulary) that you put on your website to help search engines return more informative results for users.
  
  
• This can help your FAQs appear as rich results (sometimes called rich snippets) on Google, potentially increasing visibility and click-through rates.
  
  

3. Automatically update the Rank Math focus keyword with the post slug:

• Focus keywords are used to tell search engines what your content is primarily about.
  
  
• With this setting enabled, the plugin will automatically use the post slug (the part of the URL that identifies a specific post) as the focus keyword in Rank Math's SEO settings for that post.
  
  
• This could be useful for maintaining consistency and potentially saving time if your slugs are already well-optimized for your target keywords.
  
  

4. Automatically update the Rank Math meta description of posts:

• When you create a post, if you haven't manually set a meta description, this setting will prompt the plugin to automatically generate one for you.
  
  
• This ensures that every post has a meta description, which is important for SEO as it can influence click-through rates from search engine results pages.
  
  
• The content of the auto-generated description will depend on how Rank Math is configured to create them, which might be based on the first paragraph of the post or another method set by the plugin.

The listed options seem to be settings for a sophisticated content automation for WordPress, right? Here's a detailed explanation of each option:

1. Automatically Post Content to WordPress:

• This feature, when enabled, automates the generation and posting of content to a WordPress site.
  
  
• Before fully automating the process, it is recommended to utilize a 'Test your WordPress Website' function to verify that the website is properly configured and compatible with automated posting.
  
  
• Ensuring the website functions correctly with test posts helps prevent errors when the system is fully automated.

2. Delay in seconds after each post:

- This is a setting that controls the interval between automated posts. A delay of 9000 seconds (or 2.5 hours) is set to avoid overloading the website and to manage the frequency of content publication. The delay is calculated based on the desired number of posts per day and the time taken to create each post.

3. Domain Name:

- Users must enter the domain name of their WordPress website to specify where the auto-generated posts should be published. This ensures that the content is directed to the correct site.

4. WordPress Application Password:

- This secure password is generated by the 'Useful SEO Functions by SyntaxSurge' WordPress Plugin for authentication purposes, which we discussed aboved. It allows the plugin to safely communicate with the WordPress site for posting content.

5. WordPress Post Status:

- This setting determines the status of the posts when they are created. Setting it to 'Publish' means that articles will go live on the site immediately after they are generated by the plugin.

6. Use latest keywords in the list:

- This option ensures that content generation uses the most recently added keywords, which can be crucial for targeting current trends and search queries.

7. Keyword Domain Category:

- Assigning keywords to specific domain categories helps in organizing content and ensuring that it is relevant to the appropriate section or topic area of the site.

8. Scrape Related Search keywords or use it if no Keywords Left:

- When enabled, the plugin will scrape related search keywords from search engines to maintain a supply of relevant keywords for content generation. This option provides a backup source of keywords to continue content creation even when the initially supplied keywords are exhausted.

9. Language:

- This setting allows for the selection of the language in which the content should be generated, optimizing the content for the chosen linguistic and regional market.

10. Check Keywords:

- This feature checks if the target keyword is appropriate, avoiding the creation of content that could be problematic or not compliant with legal standards.

11. Add Related YouTube Videos:

- This setting allows the plugin to embed a related YouTube video within the content, which can enhance user engagement and increase the time users spend on the website.

12. Add Related Images:

- The plugin can add related images to the content, which are processed to avoid copyright infringement while enhancing the visual appeal of the article.

13. Add Related AI Images Every H2 Headings:

By activating this option, AI-generated images are inserted at every section marked with an H2 heading, which can help to break up text and keep readers engaged.

14. Add FAQs:

This functionality scrapes the 'People Also Ask' section in search engine results to add frequently asked questions to content. Properly formatted with schema markup, these FAQs can also appear in rich search results, potentially driving more traffic to the site.

15. Max Frequently Asked Questions:

This setting specifies the maximum number of FAQ items that should be included in an article, helping to provide comprehensive answers related to the content without overwhelming the reader.

16. Amazon Search Products:

- This enables the inclusion of relevant Amazon products in the content, linked with the user's Amazon Affiliate ID, to generate potential affiliate revenue from product referrals.

17. Featured Image:

- The option to add a featured image provides a visual element that represents the content, which can be appealing on the website and when shared on social media, even though it may not directly impact search rankings.

18. Author’s Bio Prompt:

Completing the author’s bio adds authenticity and a personal element to the content. The plugin may offer a generator to help create a professional bio if the user hasn't already provided one.

- Go to the All WordPress Websites page located at the sidebar to view a list of all connected WordPress websites. You can also check here if the website is still active or deactivated.

- Navigate to All WordPress Auto Post Logs. This section provides detailed logs, allowing you to track the status of each post – whether it's successful or not.

If it is failed, it will log the reason why it fails and will go to the next keyword in the loop. If the error is fatal, then will stop the loop and deactivate the website status.

If it is successful, it will display the time it took to create a post, title of the post, and the link of the post. This is how the successful post looks like:

- The All Uploaded Keywords page lets you manage your keyword database.

- You can also view All Scraped Keywords and All Skipped Keywords.

The platform's capability to scrape and replenish your keyword list means that:

• Unlimited Keyword Generation: You won't run out of keywords since the platform is designed to keep the list populated through continuous scraping.

• Background Processing: This feature operates in the background, ensuring that the front-end of your platform remains uncluttered and focused on content generation tasks.

• Priority to Uploaded Keywords: The platform recognizes that manually uploaded keywords are a result of strategic planning and thus prioritizes them, ensuring that your most important keywords are used first.
• Optional Scraped Keywords Usage: You have control over whether the SEO Article Generator resorts to using scraped keywords through configuration settings that we have discussed above. This flexibility allows you to maintain strict control over the content topics when necessary.
