Ninja Affiliate

Price: $97
Value for money: 5 out of 5

Description: Affiliate link cloaker/affiliate link manager

I recently purchased the best value for money and most useful plugin I’ve ever come across. I don’t like to hype products up, but this one did something rare – it did what it says it can do and it is easy to use.

Before I purchased this, I had a product called Wordpress Affiliate Pro which did something similar, but not as well. Although this wasn’t a bad product, Ninja Affiliate was much easier to use, more flexible and the support is better.

Ninja Affiliate is a WordPress plugin which hides your affiliate links. But, it also does a lot more.

  • Cloaking: The best part of the plugin and very easy to use.  You can easily choose how you want to make your affiliate links look.
  • Grouping Affiliate links: you can put your affiliate links in groups, name them and view click through data in the management screen.
  • Link Redirects: The plugin comes with a redirection system to help protect your links.
  • Link customization: You can easily customize the text that appears on the status bar of the browser when people hover on the link.
  • Keyword management: You can select what keywords you want to transform into affiliate links, and it also allows you to limit the number of keywords per post.

Premium Plugins | Are they worth it?

Saturday, October 4th, 2008

As the number of Wordpress users increases and the needs of users change, Premium plugins are a good option if the plugin performs an essential role in enhancing your site. The outlay in money for the plugin (if the plugin is good) will usually pay itself back fairly quickly. Personally, I have only purchased Autoblogged, and that plugin has been great for me and is an absolute steal for what it does. With the advent of Premium themes, people have started using Wordpress for more than just blogging and sites which are more involved with a lot of specific content on a particular topic/theme or product. A list of premium plugins I’ve found are listed below.

I would be interested to get some feedback from anyone who has used these plugins.
