Affiliate marketing is one hot industry where it overlaps other industries online. The trend for the domaining industry, for example, is to develop domain names rather than just park it and earn revenue through PPC (pay per click). Once they developed their domain names into mini-sites, most, if not all, would put up affiliate banner advertisements. The blogging industry uses a lot of affiliate marketing strategies in order to create revenue. It ‘s interesting to note, from (various articles and websites) that WordPress is the ubiquitous tool in creating these websites.

And because WordPress is the tool of choice, there are certain plugins that affiliate marketers prefer in order to help them in their trade. After trolling through the web, here are the most widely used WordPress plugins and widgets by affiliate marketers and the percentage using them:

  • 123 Linkit – 1.1%
