WordPress Plugin Review: Best solution for link management
The Thirstyaffiliate plugin is free & you
can download it from WordPress plugin repo here. This Affiliate
link management plugin comes highly equipped with features to increase your
affiliate sales. Along with that, there are many advanced feature that is also
available, which I have mentioned below. In this post I’m reviewing this
plugin & will also share some of the useful addons which are available.
Before that, if you are new to link cloaking,
this video will help you understand the benefits of turning your ugly affiliate
links into pretty links.
Once you have downloaded & installed the plugin, go to
ThirstyAffiliate plugin settings. This is where you will be doing the one-time
setup of all major features & after that your work of adding a link is
pretty easy.
Go to Affiliate links> settings & start configuring
the plugin. You can copy the settings as shown in below image:
HOW TO ADD AFFILIATE LINK
The plugin offers two ways to add the affiliate links. You
can either go to Affiliate links> Add new & cloak your affiliate link.
Here is a screenshot for the same:
The second method which is adding affiliate links from the
post editor section is more convenient & easy. Go to add new post &
there you will have an icon to either search and add an existing cloaked
affiliate link or you can cloak a new link.
How to Insert image banner for more affiliate sales: Extra
feature
This is one feature which will make you ditch any other free
Affiliate link Cloaker plugin you are using. We all know at times, good images
gives better CTR. Using ThirstyAffiliates, you can also add an image instead of
a normal hyperlink. When you are cloaking a new link (See the add new affiliate
link image above), you will also get an option to add image.
Next time you can add a link as a hyperlink or as an image.
I’m sure smart bloggers can imagine how effective a good banner ad would be for
their affiliate sales.
After using this plugin, I feel so sorry that why I was
using any other plugin for so long. Since this offers features which can easily
increase affiliate sales. Anyways, it’s better late than never.
Apart from above features, this plugin also supports
shortcodes. I haven’t used this feature in detail, so can’t comment much on it.
For now, let’s have a look at some of the notable add-ons available for this
plugin. I suggest you to get at least few of the add-ons especially if you are
using Amazon affiliate program or any hosting affiliate program where you need
to direct users to special landing page based on their location.
ThirstyAffiliate Addons: Make more out of Affiliate
Marketing
At the time of writing this review post, they have about 6
add-ons that you can buy in a bundle or separately. I’m sharing information
about few of those add-ons which made me switch my existing WordPress affiliate
plugin to this one.
CSV Importer addon:
This one you may or may not need but for me it’s essential.
Since I was using Gocodes plugin which is now gone, moving all my affiliatelinks from old plugin to new was a big task. With CSV importer, moving all of
my 200+ links was easy & within minutes I moved away from my existing
affiliate plugin to ThirstyAffiliates.
This one is need of the time as all popular web-hosting
companies including Bluehost & Hostgator now redirect users to
country-specific URL. Because of this, many of us miss out on sales & we
can’t do much about it. If you are using Bluehost Affiliate program, I’m sure
you must have noticed that a user clicking the link from India is redirected to
Indian Bluehost site. With Geolocation add-on, the plugin will detect the user
location & redirect them to specific site of your choice. This is pretty
useful for Amazon affiliates as well.
Amazon Addon: WordPress Amazon affiliate plugin
This one is my favorite as this would ensure I earn more
from Amazon affiliate program. Do you know when you add an Amazon affiliate
link fro U.S. store & users go to U.K. or Indian store, you don’t get the
affiliate commission? With Azon addon, you can import amazon affiliate link
from WordPress dashboard & it supports all major Amazon store.
With the combination of Geolocation addon, your reader would
be redirected to the store based on his country location. In short it makes it
easy for you to add Amazon affiliate links & also to make more money from
Amazon affiliate program. Also, look at EasyAzon4 plugin for dedicated Amazon
WordPress plugin.
Check this video to understand the Azon add-on feature:
There are more add-ons that are useful like Stats, Google
Analytics integration & Auto-linker.
ThirstyAffiliate Pricing & Discount coupon:
As I mentioned above, this plugin is free of cost & you
can download it from WordPress repo here. The add-ons are available as a single
purchase, or you can buy the bundle. Here is the pricing for different bundle:
Thirsty affiliate best affiliate a plug in market. The basic plugin is free and paid addon makes this plugin a powerhouse to increase affiliate sales. Amazon addon is superb for anyone who is part of amazon affiliate program. easy to use and right on budget.
