WordPress is a very simple-to-use content management solution for creating powerful affiliate websites. The best part about WordPress is all the plugins that are available.

It seems there is at least one plugin for just about anything you can imagine!

I’ve put together a list of 5 free affiliate marketing plugins for WordPress that I really like to use.

1. Pretty Link Lite

This is probably my favorite WordPress plugin for my affiliate sites. In a nutshell, this plugin allows you to take long and nasty-looking affiliate links and easily turn them into “pretty links” that look like they are links within your site.

So, instead of using that funky-looking Clickbank link, you could make that affiliate link look like YourSite.com/cool-product (for example).

This is a very useful plugin that I love.

Oh, it also tracks clicks on each link you create!

2. Duplicator

If you create a lot of WordPress affiliate sites, you probably find you spend a lot of time tweaking your theme and settings with each initial set up.

What if you could get your basic WordPress set up done and then make a copy of it each time you wanted to create a new affiliate site?

This is really easy to do with the free Duplicator plug-in.

This handy plugin also allows you to easily move sites from one host to another and back up your sites (which is so important to do).

3. Amazon Affiliate Link Localizer

This plugin is pretty nifty. All you do is install and activate the plug inside your wp-admin dashboard, and then add your Amazon affiliate ID in the settings area.

Once this is set up, any time you add a link to an Amazon product in your posts, the plugin automatically makes it your affiliate link and it directs the user to the proper Amazon site according to their location.

4. Pinterest Plugin

Pinterst is amazing for traffic, and it’s a site you really should consider adding to your traffic-getting toolbox. I have had sites blow up with traffic all because one visitor “pinned” an image from my site.

This Pinterest plugin makes it really easy for Pinterest users to “pin” your site images and bring you lots of traffic.

This plugin adds a simple little “pin it” button on your images when a user holds their mouse over the picture. They just click and pin.  Easy for your users… and really great for you.

5. P3 Profiler

If you’re like me, you love WordPress plugins like these — they can seriously become addicting!

Problem is, plugins can drag down the performance of your site and if you have multiple plugins running, it can be a pain to figure out which plugin is causing your site’s issues.

With this plugin installed, you simply run it and let it “profile” your site and plugins, making it simple for you to see any problem plugins or ones that are not configured properly.

Site speed and performance are both important… this is a great plugin to have to help you optimize your site for best performance for your users.

Do you have any favorite or “can’t do without” WordPress plugins you use for your affiliate websites?
