I was in heaven! Some of these sites had very high dollar products on them too, and I found myself making $200-$300 in affiliate commissions for just one sale at times.

I also had a jewelry site, perfume site, handbag site, and many others too, big and small.

Now back in 2005 I couldn't find a tool or script which fit my personal affiliate marketing requirements.

There's usually a few kinks or bugs to work out or misc tweaks and changes that are needed, and my first datafeed script was no different.

I wasn't too thrilled with that aspect of things of course though, because ther....

It was also not as automated as I wanted it to be yet, so I set about creating another version.

And all it did was import affiliate datafeed products into the WordPress database.

The next version of my script was designed to work with WordPress: A powerful blog tool that's easily used as a content management system too.

I loved all of the built in functionality and automation which already existed in WordPress, so I set about creating a datafeed tool that would work with it instead of on a stand alone static site.

Each "post" in WordPress was a product sales page.

Thus, in 2006 The Affiliate Datafeed Profit System (ADPS) was born.

Now, all scripts and programs go through various development stages.

So I built my own script.

And it was amazing.

I made one website which sold 95 different doormats, and another which sold almost 10,000 lamps.

In other words, I took raw spreadsheet style information known as datafeeds, ran it through my script, and automatically generated product sales pages on the website of my choice.

Yet another sold gardening supplies, and another one sold mailboxes.

It was rough, raw, and not too pretty at first.

That first script created static websites automatically, using product feeds from affiliate merchants of my choosing.

I wanted to build websites which sold physical products to regular consumers, and I wanted it automated.
