I would like to setup the UAW pluging on my new Word Press site and it seems that this is not allowed??? Any help would be appreciated.

Wordpress.com or self-hosted using the download from wordpress.org? If you are using wordpress.com, then they are very restrictive about what themes and plugins you can use. If they won't let you use a plugin, there's nothing anyone can do to help. You would need to set up your own self-hosted site using wordpress.org's download.

What is the UAW pluging? Assuming you mean plug-in. Is it not letting you install it?

I just Googled it. Looks like a pretty spammy way to build a website. The sales pitch includes:

"Now you can receive fresh unique content for your site on autopilot"

"$20,000 commission from just TWO articles!"

"You see, what is really sneaky is this: Every time your blog receives a new article from the Wizard, and it is published, Wordpress will automatically "ping" those update services. Those services then tell all sorts of other sites that there is a new article on your site." -Wordpress does that, not the plugin!

I wonder, where does all this excellent, free content come from? Hmmm. Probably the plugin owner will just add their own articles and links.

Personally, I would avoid installing it. Sounds like a good thing that your server is not allowing it.

Of course, it may no longer be compatible with the latest Wordpress. It may also cause server issues if installed. A thread on Wordpress.org about it here: http://wordpress.org...with-a-plugin-3

A bit more reading reveals that it may clash with themes or other plugins.

I think Uaw allows people to submit their spammy articles through the plugin and these get sent direct to other blogs. I would be shocked if anyone actually successfully ranked a website using this method post Panda / Penguin.
