Well it didn’t take me long to spend some money with the new DealDotCom startup. Today they offered a Wordpress plugin that I just had to have. WP Affiliate Pro is a Wordpress plugin that can turn any keyword into an affiliate link. WP Affiliate Pro can instantly add 1,000’s of affiliate links to your blogs without touching a single line of HTML code and without editing your posts. Other features include:
- Easily promote new products with a single click of a mouse.
- Increase your income and click rate with hidden, customized affiliate links.
- $0 stolen commissions with virtually untraceable affiliate links. Stop affiliate thieves dead in their tracks.
- Built in click tracking allows you to easily see at a glance which links are getting the most clicks.
You can see the plugin in action on this post. I used it to turn the keywords DealDotCom and BlogRush into affiliate links. Depending on which browser you are using, If you hover over the links, you’ll see the URL is http://www.dealdotcom.com and http://www.blogrush.com. The reader won’t know it’s an affiliate link. Watch this video and this video for a complete explanation on how the plugin works.
The plugin offers a bunch of customization options. You can define what words gets link, how many times they get linked and what weighting to use in case there are multiple links on a page. The program sells for $97.00 but DealDotCom has it $49.88. I expect this product to sell out just like yesterday’s product, so if you want it, better order it.
*update - The item has sold out. I hope you got one if you wanted one.

That is evil!
But you did this anyway John with your ‘go’ method - hid those affliate links perfectly.
You sure you brought this and aren’t just being paid to talk about it? Hmmm….
Something fishy going on, but nothing i didnt expect from the great man…
Yes, you can hide an aff link with the go method. But can you turn a few thousand keywords in your blog into affiliate links with that?
I was straight in as well, can’t wait to see how it turns out. John a couple more sales and your affilaites will have more than paid for your copy anyway, win win.
It is a great plugin. I am thinking to acquire it too. Any idea on how many blogs can be installed with 1 purchase? (I don’t want to install it on dnseo.net, but who knows, maybe one day i would be willing to do so).
There are no activation key or anything like that. It looks like you can install it in all you blogs and it will work, but I haven’t read the license yet.
Why dont you want to have them indexed?
Google is very good at catching affiliate links and removing them from their index. If they find a blog with too many aff links, they will place less trust in that blog. So I put no index and no follow on all my aff links.
Hmm sounds reasonable so do you think I should pu no-follow atribute to all my links on my site? Because this site has mostly affiliate links.
Only if you don’t link to me.
;-)
I’ve just read the read-me that comes with it and I can’t see anything about multiple site licensing. If something doesn’t state that you’re not allowed then I’d just asume that it’s ok.
evil is saying it lightly. its extremely deceitful.
agree wih you
As long as you are sending your users to the sites the link says why shouldnt you get paid for it.
Right. Why is it deceitful? Just because they can’t see it? He just told everyone that, uh, he has it. No deceit.
Those products sound good. Thanks for the DealDotCom and the BlogRush head’s up’s a couple of days ago!
Cheers,
Ryan
I don’t know why but the DealDotCom link and BlogRush link doesn’t show the url on the windows.status bar. (I’m using FF)
Anyway I wanted to say that this kind of link aren’t good for Google SEO. Showing an url but using another is considered wrong for them. I don’t think it’s that important for you, as long as you get affiliate sales though
Yeah - it’s not showing in IE7 either, I just checked.
Anywhohowha - Looks like a fab product! Naturally, if you’re doing affiliate SEO it’s not the smartest idea, but if John directed all his links to a hosted presell page he could still pick up a bit of value.
Same. Doesn’t display in FF but when I click it I can see it redirect through the PHP before hitting the intended site. Still, that’s a pretty good product.
I don’t want Google to index my affiliate links. All my affiliate redirects have no follow and no index on them.
They don’t show because the function is broken
BlogRush
“Return True” is missing a ;
it should be “Return True;”
And to Decode what:
ttp://www.johnchow.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-affiliate-pro.php?id=1
Id = 1, most likely being, Blog Rush
Which is probably saved in the Database?
AAAH THE SPELLING AND GRAMMAR!!!!! Call Mr Kwan!!!
Mr Chow please check the post title. You just *bought* *wordpress* affiliate pro.
John, that sounds like a very useful plug-in for Wordpress, good investment. I’m anxious to see more products offered by DealDotCom, so far it seems like it will have some great items.
When I right click on your links with FireFox, I can see the full affiliate link. I think they should have used a .htaccess redirect instead.
You can do that but a .htaccess redirect can’t turn 1000 keywords within your Wordpress blog into an affiliate link.
For example, I had posted about PayPerPost a number of times. If I signed up as PPP affiliate, I can use the plugin to change all PayPerPost keyword into an affiliate link.
Can you exclude certain references though?
Yep!
OK that makes it more useful than I gave credit for. Interesting.
Yes it can… how do you think WordPress turnes 1000 blog posts into neat looking URLs?
I don’t like this plugin, I don’t like the idea of not being able to look at the bottom of my browsers window while hovering over a link and see where the link is taking me. I don’t mind people putting in affiliate links but come on, at least let me know you are doing it some how.
It has an option to let you chose what to display when someone hovers over a link, but it just shows a blank in FireFox. Hopefully, they’ll fix that with an update.
That thing is never going to work for all browsers. I know some have security settings ( some by default - IE7 I think ) that prevent javascripts from modifying the text in the status bar.
The “DealDotCom” and “BlogRush” links show the redirection URL in my browser’s status bar, and I’m using Opera.
By the way, this reminds me of the free link cloaking plugin I made. It doesn’t turn keywords into links (yet), but it can automatically cloak existing links and it’s possible to define “static” links that have click tracking.
… I may be adding a keywords-to-links feature someday
You can do this for free though, right? Good investment though, considering the number of people who will buy the product now.
So you’re telling me that DealDotCom is worth trying? Can’t wait to see your financial statements for this new thing…in five months. Then I’ll consider joining even though it will be way to late to become profitable. Oh the irony!
John you could have done the same thing easily using alinks and my
It seems some of my comment was lost somehow, you can still check out my wordpress plugin for hiding affiliate links here:

Awesome. Just Bought it.

Oh sorry, I did small research to provide evidence to my FireFox Speculation but came with this conclusion:
http://support-stage.mozilla.org/img/wiki_up/JavaScriptAdvancedWindows80.png
Mozilla prevent Java Script from changing the Status Bar. If you want to enable Javascript to change your status bar, you have the option to do so by going Tools > Options > Content [Tab] > Advance [Javascript]
Then enable Status Bar change. That should do it!
Yeah but that means every visitor on your blog will have to do that.
Imagine a blog displaying a welcome message when they first come to your blog saying something like:
“Hi, I’m using this link cloaker that doesn’t work well with your browser security settings, how about lowering them a bit”
Blame Mozilla for stopping the Javascript to change the Status Bar by default.
This program creates html links (should be java or infused like Kontera with no html trace) that all point to “wp-affiliate-pro.php?id=*” None have rel=”nofollow” so you’ll drain your pages of pagerank and have a lot of different anchor texts aimed at a redirect page. In SEO terms thats worse than the “recent comments” links in the right sidebar all having the same “title”.
This one needs work to make it SEO friendly. A+ for usefulness but D- on being site friendly. Use at your own risk!
I bet you have created another DealDotCom account from your own affliate link so you can get another 35% extra discount from it. Am I right?
Hehe…
I don’t think John will forget this “evil” trick.
Always think evil!
That is smart and evil I like it .
Damn I’m fast, 2 hours after I made my last comments here and I have an update for my hidden affiliate links plugin. Now it can automatically replace keywords in your posts with hidden affiliate links.
http://patchlog.com/wordpress/hidden-affiliate-links-update-version-02/
Not sure if I’m missig the point of DealDotCom, but if I bought the product direct from the company using my own affiliate link it would be under $25. Why is paying $50 to buy through them such a great deal of the day?
Good investment. Turn a few thousand keywords in our blogs into affiliate links
The videos says it all. i will go cop my own so i start using it right away.

In Google Reader you can see that the link is handled by some PHP code.
It’s a good thing to be able to turn all those keywords in previous posts into links with just a few clicks, though.
You don’t have to make the links end in .php
How is this different from an simple regular expression script that you could implement in a few hours ?
