Do you link to your older posts? Do you promote a particular product and would like to associate your affiliate links to a keyword or a key phrase? Would you like some of these tasks to be done automatically as soon as certain keyword is mentioned in your post? If you answered yes to one of the question you may be interested in the WordPress plugin called aLinks.

I have had my eyes on several plugins meant to do these sort of things. Some of them were free and some were not. After taking a closer look at aLinks, I have come to conclusion that this plugin will suite my needs completely.

The plugin comes with four four modules allowing you to:

  • turn keywords into links to your own blog posts- might be very useful if you often links to your older posts
  • turn keywords into links to any URL of your choice- as an affiliate I find this feature to be the most beneficial
  • turn keywords into links to to the gada.be website- I never heard about this website until now
  • turn keywords into links to Amazon.com – amazon affiliates might find this option useful

There are other aLinks modules available, including a module that allows you to link to your Commission Junction merchants. If you are a savvy programmer, you might be able to come up with your own module. If you do so, make sure to stop by here again and let me know about the module you have created. For time being, the module that I will be utilizing the most on my blogs are those allowing me to link to URLs of my choice. There is an option to cloak your links as well.

Finally I would like to thank Mark from 45n5 for pointing me to this plugin, even though he thinks that WordPress sucks. Similar Posts:
