Over the weekend, I wrote about The one CRITICAL mistake many affiliate marketers make . This particular mistake can cost you your hard-earned affiliate commissions…but is easily rectified by simply cloaking your links in a smart fashion.
Now, I’m a geek and I’m a techie and, wow, back when I was your age, I didn’t have no newfangled WYSIWYG editor in which to compose MY articles, no siree! Instead….
I used a command line interface and straight text the way the heavens MEANT for a woman to access the Internet! Why, back then, my family was so poor we didn’t even have a complete alphabet! No way, nope nope nope, I had to use the number "1" for a capital "i" and the number "0" for a capital "o" (wreaked havoc on my spelling let me tell you!)
And don’t get me started with what I had to do to power up the computer! Ever wonder why hampster wheels got so popular back decades ago? Hmmmm? And in the winter! My gosh, it was so cold back then the horse didn’t start up!
But I digress. 🙂
As I was saying….I’m used to rolling my own code. I never used store-bought ("store-bought" – now that’s funny when put into the terms of the Internet) affiliate linkers because I always hack what I need.
Until last week.
Last week, I was alerted to the Ninja Affiliate WordPress plugin tool! And let me tell you, my life hasn’t been the same since.
What I adore about this tool is you can hyperlink words from PREVIOUS and FUTURE posts too…without having to manually edit them in your Admin window.
So! Let’s say that back in April, you wrote a cool post about, oh, gee, lessee….NASCAR. Wait a sec, let’s go one further….you wrote about making money with a NASCAR blog!
Okay I’ll confess – I did that myself. But do visit the above article and scroll down to Step 6. You’ll see:
Click on that link, you’ll see it goes to:
www.barbaraling.com/foundForYou/nascar
That’s my Ninja-cloaked link that goes to my eBay affiliate search for "NASCAR".
Now. Stay with me here, this is important:
I wrote that article 2+ months ago….
I added that link THIS MORNING….
And I didn’t TOUCH the original post.
Can you see how powerful this is?
But that’s only the beginnings of the goodies the MBP Ninja Affiliate Tool has for you.
The best thing about it is…
It’s Idjut Proof!
It’s so easy to use that even my Aunt Bertha (if I had one) could start being profitable with her blog today! All you have to do is:
Step 1.) Determine your destination affiliate link. (ie, a clickbank link like richhermit.lingstar.hop.clickbank.net or your e-junkie affiliate ID or your …. you get the idea. (need an eBay affiliate link? Grab one HERE; grab your Amazon.com affiliate link THERE).
Step 2.) Name your link for your own reference purposes.
Step 3.) Paste in the affiliate link destination and set for what keywords (ie, "nascar affiliate income") you want the link turned ON.
Save the information and voila – your words, your past posts, your future posts, etc. will be automatically hyperlinked. And you even set how often they are – ie, hyperlink AT THE MOST 3 instances per page etc.
Now if that’s not the ultimate of "set it and forget it"….I don’t know what is.
This is a paid plugin, and it’s more than worth the cost. I am completely sold on it, and it now ranks number one in my recommendations for affiliate linking ease and WordPress blogs.
Do yourself a favor and click on the ninja below to check out….you’ll be glad you did.
Enjoy,
Barbara Ling
