Pretty Link Lite
Anyone with a basic understanding of SEO will know how important it can be to ensure they always use small and easy to spot links. Achieving this isn’t always so simple when dealing with affiliate sites, which is why Pretty Link Lite is so fantastic. Basically, it takes those untidy links and turns them into digestible links that fit in better with your pages.
P3 Profiler
Using lots of different plugins on your site can hinder performance somewhat, and so you need to be very careful to regularly check all the ones you use to ensure they’re properly configured. P3 Profiler takes a look at your pages and lets you know if any of the plugins need attention. This can become rather addictive, so make sure you don’t get too OCD about the whole thing. Some plugins might not work as they’re supposed to, but that doesn’t mean they’re not getting the job done.
Pinterest
For those of you not currently aware of the Pinterest plugin, it allows people all over the world to “pin” your images to their sites, thus creating more traffic for you. We read about a site owner not too long ago who saw a spike in visitors that hit over 1 million in less than three hours just because someone else “pinned” their image. So, if you constantly post original images to your affiliate sites, you’ll be seriously missing out if you fail to install this plugin.
Duplicator
The free duplicator plugin allows you to replicate your themes and pages exactly to build new affiliate sites. You almost certainly spend a lot of time altering and tweaking your themes, and this can mean you have to do it all over again when the time comes to build a new site. Thanks to duplicator, this is no longer a problem. Whatever changes you’ve made will be saved and applied to any new affiliate portals you create.
