WordPress is the most widely used content management system on the Web. Many affiliates who are in the programs we manage for clients use WordPress as their content management system of choice. Working with these affiliates, we have come to learn, firsthand, the tools that have served them best. If you are an affiliate publisher using WordPress to power your website, there are three WordPress tools you should know about – each in its own right helping to maximize your affiliate revenue channel.
WORDPRESS HOSTING
WP Engine for WordPress provides micro-fast hosting solutions for professional WordPress blogs. In fact, it’s the fastest and most robust hosting for WordPress-hosted sites available. Other hosting companies that claim to offer “WordPress Hosting”, do not come close to the architecture of WP Engine. If you are a publisher affiliate relying on optimized organic search traffic and high conversion rates, WP Engine is a must.

DATAFEEDS for WORDPRESS SITES
In addition to content, product data feeds are a highly effective method for generating affiliate revenue. Unfortunately, the integration of product data feeds requires a level of technical know-how and programming which most content publishers do not have. This is why Datafeedr for WordPress is probably one of the best WordPress marketing plugins to come out since Yoast for SEO. While Datafeedr involves a subscription fee (starting at just $29/month), the fact that it seamlessly integrates product data feeds so that affiliates can easily create entire storefronts, brand pages and comparison shopping results, makes Datafeedr one of the top WordPress plugins worth investing in.
