I’m excited to announce the release of my latest WordPress plugin: SFR Book Review Showcase – now available free on WordPress.org!
After over 25 years building websites and WordPress solutions, I’ve learned one fundamental truth: content creators need to measure what’s working. Authors spend hours crafting book reviews for their websites, but have no way to know if those reviews are actually driving results.
That changes today.
What It Does
SFR Book Review Showcase lets you display professional book reviews on your WordPress site with built-in Amazon affiliate links and click tracking. It’s designed specifically for authors, book bloggers, and anyone who reviews books online.
Create beautiful review displays, track engagement, and start turning your book content into measurable traffic to Amazon – all from your WordPress dashboard.
Three Things That Make This Different
1. You Can Actually See What’s Working
Most review plugins just display content. This one tells you which reviews people are actually clicking on.
Every review tracks:
- Number of clicks on Amazon links
- Which reviews get the most engagement
- Performance over time
Why it matters: Stop guessing. Know which books resonate with your readers and create more content around what works. Data-driven decisions beat assumptions every time.
2. Professional Display Without the Complexity
After decades helping clients build WordPress sites, I know what site owners need: tools that look professional and work immediately.
Choose from grid or list layouts, feature your top reviews, organize by category, and customize everything to match your site. No coding required.
Why it matters: Your reviews should look as professional as your writing. First impressions count, especially when you’re asking readers to trust your recommendations and click your affiliate links.
3. Built by a WordPress Developer Who Solves Real Problems
This isn’t a plugin built by a team guessing at what users need. I develop WordPress solutions for real websites with real requirements.
Every feature exists for a reason:
- Quick review creation (because efficient workflows matter)
- Click tracking (because measurement drives improvement)
- Clean affiliate links (because professional presentation converts)
- Category organization (because content structure affects user experience)
- WordPress-native design (because it should feel like part of WordPress, not bolted on)
Why it matters: This solves actual problems because it’s built with the same standards I apply to client work – no shortcuts, no compromises.
Who Should Use This?
Authors promoting their own books:
- Showcase reviews from readers
- Drive traffic to your Amazon author page
- Track which reviews convert browsers into buyers
Book bloggers and reviewers:
- Professional review displays
- Amazon Associates revenue
- Analytics to improve your content strategy
Niche book sites:
- Organize reviews by genre, era, theme
- Build topical review collections
- Engage your specific audience
Book clubs and reading communities:
- Curated reading lists
- Member review showcases
- Discussion starters with affiliate links
Getting Started Is Simple
- Install from the WordPress plugin directory (search “SFR Book Review Showcase”)
- Add your first review – title, text, rating, Amazon ASIN, done
- Display anywhere using the built-in shortcode or block
That’s it. No configuration required. No API keys to hunt down. No complicated setup wizards.
What’s Next?
I’m already developing the Pro version with powerful features for authors who want to prove their website’s ROI:
- Import KDP sales data to see which reviews drive actual book purchases
- Connect Amazon Associates earnings to specific reviews
- Advanced analytics showing revenue per review
- Series attribution tracking (discover which Book 1 reviews drive Book 2-5 sales)
- Email performance reports
But the free version is fully functional and will always remain free. I believe in building tools that deliver value to everyone, not just those with premium budgets.
