The Yoast Seo plugin is one of the SEO plugins that I use on my websites. The plugin automatically adds advanced SEO options to all the pages of your website.
Although this tool is free it offers a “24-hour support” and a state of the art redirect function. It removes links that you don’t want anymore or are broken for you.
I also use Rank Math Plugin as another alternative to this plugin.
7. Canva
Canva is a simple and effective tool that can be used by Affiliate Marketers of all levels of experience, without sacrificing quality or graphic appeal. Although this is an article for Free Affiliate Tools To Make You Work More Efficiently, Canva has a charge after a 30-day free trial. This allows you to see its value in quality productions and the money and time that you save while making creatives. They offer monthly and yearly plans.
You are able to edit images, make custom ebook covers, custom images. It does not allow you to make videos but you can add many features to ones that you import into the tool.

This completely free tool allows you to compress your images (up to 20 of them at once) in an easy and fast online tool. For anyone using images in their content for SEO and other purposes, this tool is a lifesaver.
Having small images just doesn’t mean reducing the number of pixels. It is very important to reduce the file size as much as possible. It increases the load speed of the page keeping google and people consuming your content happy. Google likes happy users, and by keeping people on your website longer Google know’s they ended up where they should be.
You can do one image at a time or download as many as 20 at once in a .zip file. If you are planning on blogging or using many images don’t overlook this completely free affiliate tool to make you work more efficiently.
10. GIMP
When the general population thinks of an image manipulation program most will think of Photoshop or even resort to good ol Paint. While these tools will work great for most applications many affiliates will use the free open-source program called GIMP – GNU Image Manipulation Program.
Gimp should certainly work for most affiliates outside of the most experienced ones who need the super expert applications that Photoshop provides.
11. Lean Domain Search
Although I have placed Lean Domain Search near the bottom of the 12 Free Affiliate Tools To Make You Work More Efficiently list, it most likely will be one that you will need to use throughout your affiliate career.
The domain name search tool provides you with domain name suggestions that use a word or words that you type in the search bar. The tool provides you with ample domain name options directly related to your website or product instantly. Having a domain that closely matches the product or service you are offering will make google happy and be more inviting for customers to get out their credit card.
