Affiliatize Me
by Erin McIntyre on WordPress.org
Affiliatize Me settings
This plugin searches links on your site for the domain that you specify in the settings, adds your affiliate ID, and makes those links open in a new tab when clicked.
The plugin produces XHTML Strict compliant code and is search engine optimized (SEO).
This is done using JavaScript’s window.open()-function. It adds only a few lines of vanilla JavaScript to the page, and does not require any external libraries like jQuery.
Most other plugins perform a hack by altering the target parameter (i.e. ). That method is not XHTML Strict compliant.
This plugin handles the links client-side, which lets search engines follow the links properly. Also, if a browser does not support JavaScript, the plugin is simply inactive, and does not result in any errors.
Credits
Inspired by the External Links in New Window / New Tab plugin.
Known bugs
The plugin conflicts with other plugins that change the links’ `onClick´ attribute.
