Although there are a very large number of suggestion threads on the topic, I did not find a suggestion topic that covers it completely:
Make IP.Nexus an affiliate store. For webmasters it would be an easy method of generating income, if IP.Nexus would allow us to sell any affiliate product, weather its amazon book, cafepress or zazzle t-shirts, products from Google Affiliate Network, Clickbank, Commision Junctions.
Basically the idea of the these affiliate networks is all the same: the networks provides a feed, which can be used to load products, description, image, price into the store.
The store displays the products, customers can order those products, the affiliate vendor will ship the goods and the webmaster gains a commission.
It would be very attractive if IP.Nexus would cater to this and it would be easy for webmasters to make money on IP.N.
Optimally users would be able to post reviews of the product.

If we are allowing our members to register or link their Facebook and Twitter accounts in the forums, it might be able to allow those options for blog comments also.
For example how they do it on a lot of news sites (cnn, fox...).

#1863546 Why Should I Use IPB
Posted

Whistler, good question and hopefully one I can answer. vB is great, but I have just moved from it to IPB.....why?
As a vB user I hated this site. I couldn't find my way around and it wasn't intuitive in the same way that vB was. So I decided to run the package myself and try it properly with one of my own sites to give a fair comparison. After a week or so I grew to love it, to the point where I now neglect my vB site because I can't stand using it, especially when it comes to the ACP - yuk!
The good
vB currently totally relies on its modding community for all its features. But I got sick of mods not being updated, and causing issues. Support can disappear overnight. The main modules are listed below
gallery - photopost
blogs - not integrated properly, reliant on vb.org
projects - weak, reliant on vb.org
CMS - vBa
links - numerous
newsletter - geek
Custom pages - vBa
shoutbox - vb.org
wiki - mediawiki integration hack
With IPB all of the above are in one package. If you need support its in one place. We are now starting to see extra features come into place following the migration to version 3 - IP.Content is a good example. You dont have to wait for someone else to fix it as its "not their problem". You do need to allow 48 hours or so for a support call reply, although its probably worse for me due to an NZ time zone.
The OK
In terms of customisation, compared to vB there is not as much...yet, but I am limiting my searches to version 3, which is still new. I also find stuff hard to find (resources was a nightmare to locate stuff on), but this is being improved I hope as the content changes over to the new layout. I don't find the peer to peer support as quick to respond or as helpful or in some circumstances as friendly, but again I think this is down to it being a new product version. There seem to be a lot of IPB modder sites that just replicate what is here ultimately, or you have to pay (albeit a minimal charge).
The bad
I would really like to see a serious un-encoded rival to vBseo, I still get the feeling seo is not taken as such a high priority amongst IPB members and I would like to see a standardised adsense integration. The 2 current 3rd party seo platforms have downsides in terms of their support.
Overview
I am stoked with IPB3, its a fantastic product and I would recommend anyone who wants to transfer over to do so without hesitation. The converters work fine and are very very easy to do yourself. Upgrades are also simplicity in itself and if all the mods worked using hooks and applications, you won't need loads of template edits. You may hesitate if you have vbseo, which is understandable. I have migrated my NZ site to IPB but sued a new url to maintain the previous links in search engines etc, but the larger UK site will wait until I can sort out the SEO and find a package I am fully happy with.
Hope this helps.
