Earn Money with Wordpress and Affiliate Text Links
ByOne of the surefire ways to earn money with wordpress blog is to convert keywords on your blog into affiliate links. Promoting affiliate programs is one of the easiest ways to getting started online.
The downfall to the traditional method for promoting affiliate programs, is the sheer amount of work that is involved in setting up, building and promoting your affiliate sites. You’re spending days and weeks cranking out one site after another and likely still barely breaking even.
Learn here about 3 wordpress plugins that will simplify your life and covert any keyword on your blog into affiliate text link.
All keywords to affiliate links plugins do the same thing – they automatically link keywords in posts to specified URLs of your choice. However, there is a big difference between free and paid plugins, and mainly it is ability to track clicks on your affiliate links and cloaking your affiliate link. Both of these features will make a huge difference in how profitable your blog will be.
First, lets take a look at free wordpress plugins.
Internal link building plugin – easy to setup and use. You can add any numbers of keywords and how many times they’ll be linked to keywords on a single post. This plugin takes very little resources from the web server and comes as my number one recommendation among free plugins.
aLinks plugin is also free and do pretty much the same as internal link building plugin, however it’s a little bit more evolved and takes more resources from your web server.
My recommendation for paid wordpress plugin is Ninja Affiliate plugin. Not only it’ll link keywords to affiliate links, but also track clicks on the links, cloak links, rotate links, gives you ability to setup link sub-campaigns and more (read Ninja affiliate full review here). It comes with a price tag, but what it can do for you far outweighs a price.
All plugins described here integrate seamlessly into any blog. You don’t need to make any changes to your blog themes or existing plugins.
So, what are you waiting for? It has never been easier to earn money with wordpress by using these plugins. Start with free plugins, make money with them and move to powerful Ninja affiliate plugin – you’ll see a huge difference in your blog earnings.

Dennis, you can start with 2 free plugins (internal link.. being the simplest), however ninja affiliate takes your affiliate efforts to the entirely new level.

I use Link A Dink, are you familiar with this plugin? It is pretty similar to aLinks. However i have not been using for affiliate marketing, i use it to turn certain words into URL links.
For example:
Like the word FEED. Whenever i write a post containing that word or someone leaves a comment using it, it automatically turns the word in a link to my RSS feed.
When i can afford it, i plan to get Ninja. Pawal (the creator behind that plugin) is a freakin plugin genious. I use many of his cool plugins.
I haven’t heard from you in awhile. How is all?

I did not know about Link A Dink, will check it out shortly. Does it cloak affy links and track clicks on the links?

Unfortunately it is a very basic plugin, its main function being able to turn words into links.
It CAN be used for aff marketing, but alas no bells and whistles. (meaning no tracking, masking, etc)
Still good for its main purpose, though. If and when i get the Ninja Plugin i might not need Link A Dink. Plus i’m not sure when it was last updated or what version of WP it is compatible with. As far as i know it works on 2.5 version of WP.

thanks Missy for update about Link A Dink, but I’d recommend Ninja Plugin if you have some money to spare.
I am working on Ninja Plugin post and will clarify few things about the plugin and show advanced use of it.
