I am looking for a fast way to find all the wordpress theme and plug-in related coupons to add to my website. Does anyone know where to find this?

    There aren't much automated services. There is Formetocoupon (very expensive) or icodes (incomplete), but you still won't find all the WP affiliate program coupon codes in one place.

    I don't know a better way than manual work.

    BUT be careful because a lot of affiliate managers won't accept you into their program if you run a coupon site. The solution is to create several smaller websites, and don't call them coupon sites. For example create a website which has 5-10 articles about Wordpress plugins in general, then advertise 2-3 products and their coupon codes there, but don't call this website a coupon code website.

      Why won't affiliate managers approve your application into their program? I just want to know because it seems like there are many coupon sites out there that just lists coupon codes with a 1-line description of the product along with a picture of the product.

        But it doesn't mean they are approved affiliates. You don't know whether they were approved into the program, or not.

        Some merchants (not all) don't like pure coupon sites, so in this case you need a niche website with actual content, and just casually mention coupons.

      Don't use the "click to reveal coupon code" technique, because merchants will terminate the affiliate relationship with you. Some affiliate networks prohibit this technique network wide.

        Then I don't know how TechBargains.com manages to stay in business without getting terminated. They have been using the "click to reveal code" tactic for so long now.
