It’s time for the finale, the big one, the 100th offering from WPMU DEV Premium, and one I think you are goiing to like.
Introducing the WordPress MU affiliate plugin!
This plugin comes direct from our work at Blogs.mu.
We wanted to have the facility to offer people affiliate payments for sending us new, paying, users… and that’s exactly what this plugin does.
It allows any user at your WordPress MU (or regular WordPress site!) to simply become and affiliate by filling in their PayPal email.
They are then given a link, for example, http://blogs.mu/?ref=admin-63 which they can then use to promote the site.
All of the unique clicks they attract, standard signups and paid signups are then tracked by the plugin and displayed – oh so nicely – to the user and yourself.
And what do we mean by a paid sign up – well it integrates 100% with our Supporter plugin so that when a free user decides to become a supporter… that’s where the money is earned!
Here it is in action:
And there’s a dashboard widget too:
Not to mention the ability to simply (again, no code required) give your affiliates their own banners:
As well as other features that allow users to use regular old links… which you can then track via referral marking so noone ever knows they are an affiliate… sneaky huh!
You can download the plugin here.
And there you go, that’s your 100!
Remember though that entries are still open for the opportunity to win 5 yearly WPMU DEV Premium memberships worth $419 each to celebrate 100 plugins, themes and videos at WPMU DEV Premium… and it’s 100% free to enter and enjoy! Click here to participate.

you should totally enter this in your own contest and win everything!
great plugin. luvin it.
This is a great plugin !!
One question, how are payouts handled?
When its time each month to payout the affiliates is this done
with the plugin or thru paypal?
Through PayPal – we’ll aim to release an automated version sometime in the next year.
Is it done manually thru paypal one by one account? That would take a long time with a big list of affiliates. I look forward to your automated system.
