Why Ghost Blogs Need ClickReap

Ghost is a fantastic publishing platform — clean editor, fast performance, built-in memberships. But when it comes to affiliate link management, Ghost publishers are left without options. There's no plugin marketplace like WordPress, no native affiliate tools, and no built-in way to automatically monetize product mentions in your content.

Most Ghost publishers end up managing affiliate links manually. They copy Amazon links, shorten them with a third-party tool, and paste them into posts one by one. When a link breaks or a program changes its URL structure, they have to find and update every single instance across their entire blog.

  • No plugin ecosystem: Unlike WordPress, Ghost doesn't have affiliate link plugins. There's no ThirstyAffiliates, no Pretty Links, no AAWP for Ghost.
  • Limited native monetization: Ghost's monetization features focus on memberships and subscriptions. Affiliate revenue is an afterthought.
  • Manual link management doesn't scale: As your Ghost blog grows from 50 to 500 posts, manually inserting and updating affiliate links becomes unsustainable.

ClickReap gives Ghost publishers the automated affiliate link management they've been missing — without compromising Ghost's clean, content-first philosophy.

Setting Up ClickReap in Ghost

Ghost has a built-in code injection feature that makes adding ClickReap effortless. No theme editing required, no custom integrations — just paste one snippet and you're done.

Go to your Ghost admin panel, navigate to Settings → Code injection, and add the following to the Site Footer section:

Ghost Admin → Settings → Code injection → Site Footer

<script
  src="https://api.clickreap.com/sdk/clickreap.min.js"
  data-project="YOUR_PROJECT_ID"
></script>

That's it. Every page on your Ghost blog will now automatically scan for product mentions and insert your affiliate links. You manage everything from the ClickReap dashboard — add products, set link rules, and track performance.

The script loads asynchronously, so it won't affect your Ghost site's page speed. It works with every Ghost theme, including custom themes, Casper, and premium themes from the Ghost marketplace.

Built for Ghost's Content-First Philosophy

Ghost publishers chose Ghost for a reason — simplicity, speed, and a focus on writing. Your affiliate link tool should respect that. ClickReap doesn't add clutter to your Ghost editor, doesn't require shortcodes or custom HTML cards, and doesn't slow down your writing workflow.

  • Write naturally: Just mention products in your posts. ClickReap automatically converts mentions into affiliate links after the page renders.
  • Manage links centrally: Update a product's affiliate URL once in ClickReap, and it updates across every post on your Ghost blog instantly.
  • Track what's working: See which posts drive the most affiliate clicks and which products your readers care about with built-in analytics.
  • No vendor lock-in: If you ever move from Ghost to another platform, ClickReap comes with you. One script tag works everywhere.

Whether you're running a tech review blog, a newsletter with a web archive, or a niche content site on Ghost, ClickReap turns your existing content into a revenue stream without changing how you write. Learn more about adding affiliate links to existing content.

Does ClickReap work with Ghost's membership content? +
Yes. ClickReap processes content after it renders in the browser, so it works with both free and members-only Ghost content. Affiliate links are inserted regardless of the access level of the post.
Will it slow down my Ghost blog? +
No. The ClickReap script is lightweight and loads asynchronously. It won't block page rendering or affect your Ghost site's Core Web Vitals scores.
Can I use ClickReap on a Ghost Pro hosted blog? +
Absolutely. Ghost Pro includes the code injection feature that ClickReap uses. You don't need a self-hosted Ghost installation — it works on any Ghost setup that supports code injection.
Is there a Ghost plugin or integration I need to install? +
No. ClickReap doesn't require any Ghost plugins or custom integrations. You simply paste one script tag into Ghost's code injection settings. It takes less than a minute to set up.

Unlike Skimlinks, ClickReap gives you full control over which products get linked and which affiliate programs you use. You keep 100% of your commissions — there's no revenue share.
