Easy Affiliate Links

Easy Affiliate Links is a deliberately minimal alternative to larger affiliate plugins, aimed at bloggers who want their links organized without a steep learning curve. The free version, listed on WordPress.org with over 1,100 active installs, lets you add, cloak, edit, and remove affiliate links from a central dashboard, checks both cloaked short links and regular uncloaked ones, and works inside both the Classic Editor and Gutenberg block editor, including an Elementor text-widget option. A Replacement Links feature lets you temporarily swap out an affiliate link sitewide, useful if a merchant runs a promotion or a product goes out of stock. The optional Premium add-on unlocks the features most competing tools bundle by default: click statistics with visual charts, an automatic broken-link checker with email notifications, Amazon Creators API integration for searching and linking products directly, and an automatic tooltip disclaimer that appears when readers hover over a link. Because the plugin doesn't include analytics natively, many users pair it with a free Google Analytics plugin and manually enable outbound click tracking. It's a reasonable starting point for a small site, though it lacks the comparison tables, product displays, and geo-targeting found in more full-featured tools like ThirstyAffiliates or Lasso.
