The easiest way to replace specific keywords with an affiliate URL across your Wordpress site.
The Wordpress Campaign Manager plugin gives you absolute, site-wide control over your affiliate campaigns. It has two main features:
1) Replace any word on your entire blog with an incentivised link
For example, you can replace any instance of the word "hosting" with a link to a hosting affiliate scheme - across every single post, all managable from this single plugin
2) Mask your affiliate URL's with friendly ones
This plugin can turn http://www.this-is-a-long-affiliate-url.com?referal=you123456 into a more friendly, inviting http://www.your-site.com/go.php?l=scheme
What it does
Manage your affiliate links site-wide from one plugin
So you've signed up for a new affiliate scheme offering high payouts for referals and you want to promote it. Without this plugin you'd have to manually enter the link into all your future posts.
How much effort is it then to enter the link into all your previous posts as well? This plugin would allow you to replace all instances of the word "hosting" with a link (it doesn't even have to say hosting anymore either!) and that change happens across every post you've ever made.
Mask your affiliate URLs
Wordpress Campaign Manager allows you to take an unfriendly URL like www.affiliate-broker.com/a-long-url/a-long-link.php?referalid=3521611 into
www.yourwebsite.com/go.php?l=whatever.
This means you can mask affiliate URLs into something friendly that readers are more likely to click on. The user is redirected to the original URL along with your affiliate code ensuring you keep 100% of your commission.
Track your masked links
Every masked affiliate link that you create (using the above go.php method) will be tracked by Wordpress Campaign Manager, allowing you to see how many clicks it has had. This allows you to optimise your money making strategy by knowing which links are performing and which are not.
