SEO HACK - Don’t Buy WordPress Affiliate Pro, just get the Link A Dink Plugin
I just stumbled onto John Cow’s blog while stumbling through some sites on EntreCard, then stumbled onto CashQuests. I bought this WordPress Affiliate Pro plugin which allows you to changes any keyword in your blog post to an affiliate link. I originally bought it so I could link some of my target keywords to certain blogs for SEO and whatnot. But it turns out the WordPress Affiliate Pro only let’s you link in the format of,”http://zedomax.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/wp-affiliate-pro.php?id=5″. How dumb is that? I paid $100 for something that links their text! (They are linking “wp-affiliate-pro”)
I couldn’t even change the WordPress Affiliate Pro either because the source code is encrypted so you can even change it.
I paid a fair $100 for this crappy plugin and now I find out there’s Link A Dink Plugin.
(Yes, I’d like my money back since I spent $100 on something very unuseful.)
You might wonder, what does this plugin do? Basically you can replace all keywords in your blog posts to whatever link you want so you can link up whole bunch of affiliate links and monetize your blog from your OLDER blog posts and new ones. I am sure any one blogger has a Google search term that keeps bringin’ traffic. Use this plugin and link it to your affiliate links. Don’t know what an affiliate is? Go sign up for an account at CJ.com.
Here’s the info you need:
On the bright side, now I got a plugin that I can actually use for SEO AND the source code so I can modify it, not that I’d need to.
This plugin replaces words in your posts with anything you want. I use it to replace words with links. For example, if you see my sister’s name, Ashley, anywhere on the site, it will link to a picture of her.
Upload it, install it, then go into the Link A Dink settings page in your Options.
Alright cool.
