What can you do to increase your affiliate marketing efforts in 10 minutes?

Not much, unless you’re thinking about the CashLinks Wordpress plugin by Elena Melendez that allows you to automatically insert keyword-based links into all future, current and old blog posts.

What that means is, by specifying certain keyword in the Options panel (below), you can make every instance of that particular keyword appearing on your blog link to an affiliate product.

Affiliate Management Plugin for Wordpress

For each link, you can choose to display the affiliate link by:

  • DHTML – Displays a pop-up box when someone places their cursor over the link
  • Title only – Shows a short description of your title
  • Disable – Disables all effects, your link appears like any other plain, unformatted hyperlink

I have been looking for something like this for a long time. If you’re promoting many affiliate products from your Wordpress blog, you’ll realize that it’s difficult to keep up after a while.

Here’s how this plugin can help your affiliate marketing efforts in just 10 minutes:

  1. Select a keyword on your blog, for example “autoresponder”, and link it to your affiliate program
  2. You can specify any keyword you want, and once you click save, all the keywords will become links, even on old posts.
  3. Track the clicks on the Options page, replace low-performing affiliate programs with different ones
  4. Use “keyword-based” dynamic linking instead of linking directly from posts

This plugin will not only help you manage your affiliate links, it will also help you mask your naked links and keep track of clicks. It’s not a free plugin (a lot of good ones aren’t) but at $27 it worth the money.

Can I select it to only apply affiliate links on certain URL’s?

For example: Only on urls that begin with http://www.domain.com/2007/

Or, can exclude certain URL’s?

Hi there,

I like the looks of this Plugin. Are you the primary source for this? I see from your personal site that this is packaged into a product. Is it the same plugin? Or the lite version?

Any other tools that do a similar thing?

Thanks,

One problem with these kind of plugin is that they also link h1, h2 text. In other words you titles which are often full of the keywords you are promoting are auto linked. It becomes more of mess than a help.

Do you know of this plugin links only text in

@ Jeff – Yes that’s one of the setbacks, which I think should be easily fixed in the next version.
