Last month I published a blog post about an affiliate WordPress plugin called WP Affiliate Pro. If you own a blog and are into affiliate marketing, this is a plugin you should definitely consider purchasing. However, things have changed these last few weeks, because there’s now a free version! It’s called ViralPlugin and it does everything that WP Affiliate Pro does, and even more!

Like WP Affiliate Pro, ViralPlugin allows you to automatically add links to your posts and pages. Once the plugin is installed, all you need to do is to add a keyword and a target link (via the plugin interface), change a few settings (like how many times you want the keyword to be hyperlinked), and the keyword will be automatically hyperlinked on all posts and pages of your blog. You can of course choose to make the links open in a new window and have a nofollow attribute.

If you’re into blogging and affiliate marketing, you should definitely give this plugin a try as it will help you save hours of boring work and also help you better monetize your blog. ViralPlugin uses ViralUrl to cloak the links so they are protected against commission fraud and you can also take advantage of all the features and benefits you get with a ViralUrl membership (including click statistics).

Installing and using the plugin is very easy. There’s nothing complicated to do. Once you fully understand the concept and know how it works it will only take you a few seconds to hyperlink all the keywords you want.
