Screencast: Affiliate Link Encoder

The Affiliate Link Encoder (ALE) automatically turns merchant direct links, keywords and text on your web pages into affiliate tracking links.

In this screencast we cover how this tool can be useful to bloggers, forums, community content based websites, or affiliates who would just rather not worry about logging into their affiliate account to get tracking links for their AvantLink merchants.

We also show you how you can install the ALE within a WordPress blog as well as a brief demonstration of the tool “in action”.
