WordPress Affiliate 1.0 Plugin

I’ve just been invited to test review a new plugin called WP-Affiliate1.0 which I must say is pretty neat.
Here’s how it works:
Once the plugin is installed (very simple via a one-click zip upload) you configure the settings in the admin panel that allows you to determine how many links you’ll display either before or after each post. You can also elect to show the links in a panel either only on the posts page or on the home page or both, amd you can control the font, the size, colors and border all very simply too.
It works with Clickbank products but one of the cool things about it is that when the links get clicked, the redirect doesn’t go straight to a full-on clickbank sales page, but to an information landing page about the product where you can get more details and even download free samples and materials.
My verdict on this new plugin is that it’s a winner and I’m sure there are bound to be some other updates and inclusions as its development continues into the future.
You can see the plugin in action right here under this post in the box that says "Related Products". If you like this plugin you can leave a comment and I can give you more details of the impending release as it happens.
Cheers,.. and have a great day.

I saw your video about the product. Although I believe Nikola is now calling it WordPress Affiliate Clickbank Plugin. I there a reason why you're not using it on your blog currently. You blog post said, "You can see the plugin in action right here under this post in the box that says "Related Products".
Hi,.. just noticed your comment sat in the spam folder (don’t know why..must check my settings).
Yes,.. I see Nikola has made a few changes and that’s good. I deactivated the plugin because I decided to stick with an advert free blog for the time being (except for the block ad to my own product “Optimum WordPress”. I think Nikola’s plugin is quite neat but I’ve been using a more comprehensive one on a couple of my other blogs that promotes Clickbank, Amazon, eBay etc. But for anyone just wanting to keep things simple and just promote Clickbank,.. Nikola’s plugin is terrific.
Yeah,.. the reason I stopped using it was because it was primarily installed as a test,.. and secondly because I deliberately set up this blog with a no initial monetization policy as I was more focused on creating decent content first.
I think that Nikola’s plugin is good and she’s introduced a few refinements with it but to be honest I use a different monetization plugin on another blog because that plugin has like 4 affiliate options and not just a single CB option.
I use Clickbank together with Infolinks on my Blog. You can earn a lot in Clickbank if you just concentrae more on US traffic `
