[...] And so we have decided to remove the plugin altogether. For a while, after we first installed it, it worked great and brought in some decent traffic, especially on some of the international news stories. But after the recent WP upgrade, there seems no light at the end of that tunnel, even after several consultations with the plugin author (we can’t seem to figure out what exactly is wrong with our installation/server).

Our server is fairly new with enough CPU (quad) to take the load. Will report back here if there are problems along the way. =)

Oh, one more thing. I had problems with the Angsuman translator plugin, although my experience may not have been typical. I did manage to find a free alternative that works just as well:

Hi Abe

Thanks for the plug. I should be able to make a module for your Associate-O-Matic store. Let me have a look at this weekend.

At the moment the plugin supports out the box Amazon affiliates and Shoplinc.
