WP Link Engine Review: More than Just Another Link Cloaker
Wednesday
Jan 27, 2010
I have been using and recommending the MBP Ninja Affiliate Link Cloaker for a long time, but after testing the WP Link Engine link cloaker for Wordpress, I have now switched all my Link Cloaking on Wordpress to this fantastic Plugin.
Yes, there are a lot of Wordpress Plugins that Cloak Affiliate Links. They are not all created equal and WP Link Engine has definitely taken Link Cloaking and hiding the referrer to another level altogether. For those of you who are new to this and are wondering, “Why Should I Cloak My Affiliate Links?”. The answer is that you cannot afford not to. Google will classify your site as a thin Affiliate site if you have a ton of long ugly affiliate links on it and your site’s visitors will not click on long ugly links that are obvious Affiliate URLs.
So why do I think that WP Link Engine is so much better? It gives you the ultimate flexibility to literally do whatever you want with a link, regardless if it is an Affiliate link or not. You can do Wordpress Post and Page redirects. You can do split testing between multiple Affiliate links, Posts, or landing pages with one piece of text or phrase if you want. You can direct visitors to exactly the page you want them to go to and still get your affiliate commission.
For example, if you wanted to direct people straight to the purchase page of the Affiliate Program you are promoting instead of the Affiliate Program’s landing page because you think you can do a good enough job of selling the product for them; you can do it. If you want to hide your website from your Affiliate Network because it does not meet their terms of service, you can hide this and show them a site that they would approve of instead, even though that is not where the clicks are coming from. You can GEO Target and direct people from different countries to different URLs. The options are limitless.
Then you can also create as many Keywords as you want and decide on how many times in each post that Keyword becomes a cloaked Affiliate Link. Automatically. Which is great for Auto Blogs where you want to automatically place your Affiliate links into the post content without having to input it yourself, ever!
Take a look at the video below and I will show you the inside of this Plugin and tell you exactly what it can do. I did the Video in HD, so click on the Full Screen option so you can see exactly what I want to show you.

MyReviewPlugin Review: Create Wordpress Affiliate Review Blogs
Wednesday
Jan 20, 2010
There are a few Review Plugins for Wordpress out there and after a lot of debate I decided to try something other than what I was already using. MyReviewPlugin was the second I tested and I will be writing another Review on the first Review Plugin I tried later. The bottom line is: MyReviewPlugin is the best Review Plugin I have ever used for Wordpress.
There are several reasons why, but it lies mainly in the large amount of features that are available with the Plugin. You can quickly and easily setup Rated Reviews and Comments on ANY Wordpress theme. You can create a Business Directory or Affiliate Review site quickly and manipulate the content any way that you want. You are able to add the rating categories and criteria you want for each Post and then choose whether your ratings or your visitors ratings make each post or product rank in your site. Then you can embed Comparison Tables based on whatever criteria you want to show your site’s Top Products or Top Rated Listings. It is all up to you.
Some of the Best features are things like Import Man which allows you to import CSV Files and Affiliate Datafeeds to your site with thousands of products or listings in just minutes and then Cloak your Affiliate Links instantly. It will also Import Listings from Yellowpages.com from any specific category or search from that site based on the URL you choose. You can then use the Bulk Modification settings to add Review ratings to every product or listing that you Imported into the site. Then the Comment Man settings allow you to add Comments and Reviews to Products you have already added to your site to make your site look active and to provide specific ratings for your products as well. You can do it en mass or by Post. It is up to you.
The fantastic thing is that it has a built in Affiliate Link Cloaker and Keyword Tool which allows you to cloak each and every Affiliate Link for full SEO Friendliness.
The overall amount of options is actually overwhelming at first. You have the ability to change almost everything and the auto embed functions that allow you to manipulate how you put Reviews on your site are amazing. The only real way to show you all of this is to actually show you. That is why I created the Video below.
Check out MyReviewPlugin:
Overall, after using this Plugin, I have to say that there is not a better option for creating any type of Review site with Wordpress. Whether you want to create an Affiliate Product Review Site or Just a Business Directory, this is the one and only product I would use.
*Note: Since I wrote this Review of Version 1.0, Version 2.0, and Now 3.0 of MyReviewPlugin have been released with the following upgrades:
In Version 2.0: A complete overhaul of Import Man that included the following new features:
- Support for more import methods: YellowPages, CSV, RSS, Google News, etc.
- Import scheduling and compatibility with 100k+ record databases.
- Amazon-esque “Did you find this review helpful?”
- Comment Man improved to support names weighted from real world data, per-decade.
And Now in Version 3.0:
- Vertical comparison tables.
- 3 new excellent high quality themes.
- New, even more powerful embed mechanisms.
- Thumbnails / product images gathered instantly from Thumbshots.com.

MaxBlogPress’ Ninja Affiliate Link Cloaker for Wordpress is more than your normal link cloaker, it is a complete solution for Managing Affiliate Links on your Wordpress Blog.
First, after hearing the hype, I had to admit I was intrigued. I had been looking for a Plugin which would allow me to automatically add Affiliate links to blog posts without having to do anything. After I purchased Ninja Affiliate, I loaded it and within a week, MaxBlogPress had released an updated version which had every feature I needed. This is the perfect addition to my Autoblogging arsenal.
Of course, you can create an unlimited number of cloaked links. You can choose how you want them named and your Blog URL is the base URL for the links which gives your links Authority. Then, Ninja Affiliate tracks your Clicks so you know how often your links are being clicked. I know this sounds just like any other link cloaker, but here is where it all changes.
You can create Keywords that you want to become Affiliate links in your Blog Posts. You can create Anchor Text Affiliate links. You can choose to have these keywords activated on Pages. You can select Categories to use this function or not to use it. The number of Keywords you associate with each affiliate link is unlimited. You can also control how many keywords in each post are affiliate links and how many times each keyword specifically is made an affiliate link. You can also format each link to be Bold, Italic, change the color, font, etc.
You can see this all much better in this Video I created:
Now that you’ve seen it all, you cannot argue that there is not a better solution of managing your Affiliate links on a Blog around.

Covert Affiliate Review: Best Affiliate Link Cloaker Period!
Thursday
Dec 11, 2008
Affiliate Link Cloakers are a dime a dozen. In fact, there are so many on the market these days that oyu cannot tell which ones are retreads and which ones are not. I have been using the same Affiliate Link Cloaker for over 2 years and I htought it was about time to let everyone in on a program that I take for granted each and every day. Covert Affiliate.
Covert Affiliate is different from other link cloakers in one very distinct way. It not only cloaks your Affiliate Links, it makes it so your visitors do not even have to click on your Affiliate Links for you to get credit for a sale. How? For each link you cloak with Covert Affiliate, you create a bit of Javascript code for your website. This code (which is encrypted) automatically places a cookie with your affiliate link code on each visitor who comes to your website. So even if the visitor doesn’t want to click on your link because they know its an Affiliate Link, and they do a Search on Google, and find the site that you were advertising, and then they purchase the product; you will still get credit for the sale!
There is no other Affiliate Link Cloaking software like this anywhere! I have used it for over 2 years now and I probably average 25% more affiliate sales from using it than your average Affiliate marketer. Clickbank and Commission Junction both threatened to sue Novasoft (the maker of Covert Affiliate) so the site no longer claims to effectively cloak these affiliate links. I, on the other hand, use it to cloak those affiliate links each and every day! It works and it works well! That is why Novasoft no longer actively promotes this product. They have taken way too much heat over how it delivers affiliate commissions.
Don’t lose your commissions, go a little Black Hat, get Covert Affiliate Now.
