Overview

The long-running WordPress cloaker, downloaded 443,000+ times, with keyword autolinking, geolocation redirects and a 404 checker in Pro.

What it does

ThirstyAffiliates has been the default affiliate link plugin for WordPress for over a decade, with more than 443,000 downloads. It turns long tracking URLs into branded links on your own domain, keeps them in a searchable library with categories, and records clicks. It works with any program: Amazon Associates, Awin, CJ, Impact and the rest.

The free plugin does the core job. Pro adds the automation that saves real time: automatic keyword linking inserts your affiliate link wherever a chosen phrase appears, geolocation redirects send readers to the right regional store, an automatic 404 checker flags dead destinations, and link scheduling lets you switch offers on a date. Amazon API importing pulls product details in, a CSV tool moves links in and out, WooCommerce external product integration turns affiliate products into catalogue entries, and advanced statistics can be exported.

Pro is priced per year by site count. Basic is $99.60 for one site, Plus is $149.60 for five sites and Advanced is $199.60 for ten, each shown against higher list prices and backed by a 14-day money-back guarantee.

It does not build product boxes or comparison tables, and that is the point: it does links well and stays out of the way. Pair it with a display plugin, or choose Lasso if you want both in one.
