Pretty Link Plugin: Cloak affiliate links in WordPress

Pretty Link Plugin: Cloak Affiliate Links in WordPress

WordPress Plugins August 10, 2016Leave a Comment

Many WordPress Bloggers asked me about how can they hide or cloak affiliate links to be short and more beautiful so that the visitor tends to click on it. In WordPress Made Easy we also cloak our affiliate links using one of the best plugins to cloak affiliate links and that WordPress plugin is Pretty Link Plugin.

Why do you need to cloak my Affiliate Links ?

Cloaking your affiliate links is a very important think to consider especially if you are an affiliate marketer. The importance of hiding or cloaking your affiliate links is:  Your affiliate links will look pretty and short instead of being long and full of slashes and questions marks. You can also customize your affiliate links as you like using your own d domain name so you don’t need to worry about any change in the affiliate link in the future as you can simply go to your WordPress admin panel and change the affiliate link with the new affiliate link instead of changing it in every post or page you have embedded your affiliate link in.

Another important thing about cloaking your affiliate links is that; you can track hits on your affiliate links including the number of visits/visitors, referrers, location, and banners or links etc. this will help you further deciding which banner/link, post/page, country, or even website is doing better for you so you can focus on it more to get more affiliate commissions.

Pretty Link Plugin

  5. The plugin provides a configurable reports as you can filter the charts by the specific link clicked, date range, and/or unique hits.
  6. You can also Organize the shortened Links into Groups which will help you managing your links.
