Wordpress Plugin – Global Synonym Text Re-Writer – Now Free
Friday, December 14th, 2007UPDATE: The Global Synonym Wordpress plugin is now free. Download link is usually up, but sometimes I take it down for updates. If it’s not up today – come back.
I wrote the Global Synonym Wordpress plugin out of pure frustration. I had been looking for a content re-writer (simple text filter), or a synonym plugin for Wordpress and the hunt was long and exhausting. I found some text filter plugins at the Wordpress plugin directory, but none of them really did what I wanted.
I wanted a global synonymic plugin that filtered text on ALL existing posts, and not one that used on a per-post basis, such as the Text-Filter-Suite plugin.
Yes, I know what some will say….. “The Acronymit plugin does this”.
Not true on all Wordpress installs and versions. I tried Acronymit on various Wordpress installs, and it never worked globally on all posts.
Here are some of the questions I get regarding my Global Synonym plugin:
Won’t sploggers use the Global Synonym plugin on the Wordpress platform?
Perhaps they will, but if the content is completely re-written, are we splitting some thin hairs as per the international copyright laws and treaties? For the Global Synonym plugin to be truly effective for sploggers, they need to create their own word and phrase replacement parameters.
Does the Global Synonym plugin with Wordpress MU?
NO. Not unless you want all your users having their content re-written as well.
Why does Global Synonym not come with pre-set synonyms?
Because you can destroy the content you’re rewriting with those crappy synonym lists, and the major search engines use grammar filters now. Some disagree with me on this, but I’ve done the testing. I’ve been testing web builders, filters, scrapers, and the like, for 5 years now. Without good grammar, you won’t sustain your placement in the search results. Period.
Furthermore, depending on the niche of the site you’re running feeds through, you only need to run the Global Synonym re-writer on specific words. You can also setup my re-writer to do some of the wacky stuff too, to give your content an accent. I’ve tried MANY of these text filters and re-writers that had preset synonym lists included, and they all ruined the content I was trying to filter. Also, if you want to run a simple text filter you can – if you want to make it more advanced, it’s very easy to do so. All the instructions are included in the download.
Why do you charge people for Global Synonym when most WP Plugins are free?
That’s simple. First of all, the price is cheap at $45 bucks. Second of all, when this plugin is used in conjunction with feed aggregators, it can make you money $$$$. Also, I got burned a few times buying expensive software from developers that claimed their scripts successfully aggregate RSS and ATOM feeds, rewrite the content, and post it. All of these programs failed to work flawlessly. These scripts created garbage for content, and usually on ugly templates. Total waste of time. This plugin works as advertised, and it’s far less money.
Which feed aggregators do you suggest using with Wordpress and Global Synonym?
UPDATE: This plugin is free to use now. I updated the download link sometimes so come back if it’s not up today.
Important question. You can’t use this script with Feedwordpress. It works with Wp-o-Matic, but you’ll need MY version of Wp-o-Matic, which stops the duplicate posting problem. Don’t worry, you get this for free as, I can’t sell that. It’s not my creation. I only tweaked it to stop the duplicate posting problems.
NOTE: You are buying my plugin script and NOT Wp-O-Matic (not mine to sell). As a bonus, I’ve included a fixed version of Wp-O-Matic. Please don’t email me for help unless you have a fresh Wordpress database, and you have configured Wp-O-Matic properly. I’m not responsible if you ignore these last two paragraphs and start trying to use my plugin with Feedwordpress or any other RSS aggregation tool.
