Alex from WordPress Web 2.0 Spot-Er wrote a great tutorial on monetizing your blog using aLinks.
So you got your very own Web 2.0 blog, you riding the wave, you ARE feeling good about yourself … and rightfully so! You have every reason to be proud of your creation, whether you build it using Wordpress or any other platform. You have meticulously taken care of all design issues creating look and feel that makes people “WOW”, you got all the plugins that create an ultimate interactive platform for your visitors, you have wrote articles that generates traffic comparable to a tidal wave …
And guess what, if you have build your web 2.0 blog based on Wordpress – you have an excellent opportunity to monetize on your superb content and provide links to related services your visitors will be grateful. Better yet, you get paid a lot higher commissions while doing it.
If you have followed guidelines I have outlined on my pages to build web 2.0 blog using Wordpress you have already installed aLinks plugin. It is one plugin no Wordpress based blog should be without as it allows you to simply specify keyword or keyphrase, link it once through control panel to a related product and start earning either 50-75% from ClickBank product or 4-8% from Amazon, options to integrate eBay is also available along with a few others, which I will not discuss here.
You can read the rest of the well written tutorial from from his site.

I’m a big fan of aLinks and enjoyed the tutorial. I was wondering if WordPress 2.5 compatibility is in works. I’m trying to activate it under a recent 2.5 build and it triggers a fatal error.

Me too! I get “fatal error line 40″ Anyone have an idea about this? I’ve tried to install on a “clean” just got build wp and it still doesn’t work :(

Yep,
WP2.5 fails to play nicely with current aLinks. I would be interested to learn as well if anything is in works to address the issue?

let me correct my statement. I’m having install problems on 2.3.3. Can anyone help me with “fatal error on line 40″ issue? Thanks,

Hi Jay,
Can you move your question over to the forums @ http://forums.headzoo.com . That way if I manage to solve your problem, other people can find and benefit from the answer. :)

Hi Guys,
the fatal error in 1.0rc1 is because Sean has left some empty lines after the ?> php tag in many of the files, especially modules. About 20 files…
I think I have edited them all now. If Sean doesn’t mind, you can get the modified zip from my blog.
I don’t know if it because some of us have uploaded in the wrong mode (text/binary) or just because Sean uses a Mac ;-)
All I have done is trimmed the end CR’s. No warranty.
But might save you 30 minutes!

Hi Peter,
Feel free to link to the fixed version. :)
My policy these days when it comes to PHP, is to not use the closing ?> at all. That avoids those kinds of errors completely.

I’ve released v1.0rc2, which fixes the problem with WP2.5. I’ve also dealt with the trailing ?> issue.
