After a lot of hard work, I’ve just released a new tool for monetizing your WordPress Blogs. Affiliate Afterburner/WP is a WordPress plugin that makes it easy to monetize your blog by adding affiliate ads from Amazon.com, eBay, AllPosters.com, and AdSense to your posts or sidebars. I’ll be adding more affiliate programs in the near future in free upgrades (I’m looking at ClickBank and several other large networks.)

Affiliate Afterburner/WP supports 12 industry-standard ad sizes, or you can use it to display free-form ad blocks that fit into whatever space you put them in.

It can also display dynamically updating content from RSS feeds, including podcasts and YouTube search results.

The installation process has been hugely simplified from the old non-WordPress version — just upload the files, click to activate the plugin, and click a button to set up the database tables. Then enter your affiliate IDs in the control panel.

Insert ads anywhere you wish in your blog with a few lines of code like this:

[afterburner]show=large_rect
class=afburner_float_right
program=amazon_xsl
keywords=blogging[/afterburner]
