As a Commission Junction affiliate for years and using my Wordpress blogs to promote products it took me a lot of time to manage my affiliate links and banners

I was looking for some plugins that would easily add relevant products into my posts, saving me time and spending that for promotion and writing useful content for my readers. After researching for a while and thanks to my friend i found CJNiche plugin, which is totally free to use.

The plugin is very user friendly, adding a simple shortcode into your posts/pages will automatically add products to your blog from the huge database of Commission Junction.You can filter results by keywords and advertiser id(merchant) and set the number of listings you want to show.

So for example: The shortcode: [cjniche keywords="casio watch" listing="4"] would display 4 Casio Watches.

Build powerful niche stores,target any topic and promote reliable Merchant's products ( Overstock.com Zappos.com, Buy.com,GAP etc) with the free CJniche plugin

CJniche Plugin Features:

• Display Product Image
• Display Product Price
• Display Advertiser Name
• Get results by Advertiser Id
• List products by keywords search using boolean operators(+, -) for more relevant results
• Define the number of products displayed per page
• Uses CJ’s Rest Api for quick and lightweight results

Steps to Building CJ Niche Stores
