Chet Day Favors Four Master Series Scripts
Editor's note: If you are not yet familiar with Chet Day's contribution to a healthier world, this would be a great time to get acquainted with his natural health articles and healthy recipes web site.
Well, I don't know where the time goes, but in checking my records, I see that I've been using WillMaster scripts since the year 2000.
As I write these words, I have four favorites:
ProLinkz™
Let me start with ProLinkz™ because it's such a reliable workhorse. I send out over 100,000 newsletters every week, and I use Prolinkz to track all ad clicks. I couldn't put a dollar figure on it, but I can confidently say that ProLinkz has kept bread and butter on our dinner table. With this software on my server I can easily know which ads are winners and which ads are dogs.
I hate to think of the mess of dead urls and fouled up subdirectory links cluttering up and complicating my online life if it weren't for Prolinkz.
And fast...
Whoa, ProLinkz works like lightening while clocking neglible use of server resources, unlike other tracking programs that slop up cpu load like starving hogs.
Master Survey
Many of the gurus say you're an idiot if you're not surveying your customers, newsletter readers, and website visitors on a regular basis.
Well, I guess I'm not an idiot because I long ago realized the value of surveys and have been using this Master Series script to poll my subscribers ever since 2001.
Like all Master Series scripts, Master Survey is easy to install and a joy to use. In fact, I can crank out a new survey in about the same amount of time that it takes to make breakfast toast.
The information I've gained from surveys over the years has been invaluable in terms of improving newsletters, increasing sales, and developing better relationships with my subscribers, site visitors, and long-term customers.
Master Feedback
What can I say about this fantastic free script? I mean, seriously, I use it on all my websites as the only way to contact us. By switching from a posted email address to Master Feedback several years ago, I've literally choked off hundreds of thousands of spams from ever reaching my inbox.
Incredibly easy to set-up, Master Feedback belongs on every website open to contact from visitors.
Master Syndicator
Ah, yes, Master Syndicator, our silent partner that has done yeoman's work in adding links and building pagerank to my website over the years.
We use Master Syndicator for our featured recipes and update each of the three recipes every weekend. For this aging baby boomer it's just plain 60's cool to be able to upload a recipe and to then know that it's going to be shown on other websites all over the world.
Although I don't know exactly how many other sites receive our weekly recipe updates, I've received requests for the syndication code from webmasters several times a week for over five years now.

You know, I don't recall for sure how or where I heard about Will and Mari Bontrager and their fabulous scripts. My first email to Will is dated December of 2000, so I've obviously been a fan of their work for a long time.
In my years as a WillMaster customer, I've admired the simplicity and clarity of the Master Series scripts because every product I've purchased from the Bontragers worked better than advertised. And that includes a custom programming job Will did for me several years ago.
One more thing. WillMaster customer support is fabulous. Though I've not had many occasions to need it because the directions that come with the scripts are so clear and easy to follow, on the few times when I needed help, it arrived almost as fast as a cop answering a 911 call.
When I need a script to do important tasks for my sites, I look first in the Master Series.
