Pretty Link Pro For WordPress
[note title="Quick Note" align="right" width="162"] You can try Pretty Link for free by using the free version, then you upgrade to PRO at anytime. [/note]I have to pass along an amazing tool that I use with WordPress CMS installations. It is called Pretty Link. This powerful link tool allows you to easily setup redirect links so you can track your marketing efforts, quickly and easily. It also allows you to know exactly how many clicks you are sending to links in real time, with some pretty detailed reporting of each links performance. You can easily create “Pretty Links” for all of your affiliate offers and other long, ugly URLs.
Simple Pretty Link Example
http://prettylinkpro.com/amember/go.php?r=58&i=l1 – (My Long Ugly Affiliate Link)
http://sdiinc.us/ref/plnk – (Pretty Link Version Of Same Link w/Twitter Sharing)
http://sdiinc.us/ref/prtylnk – (Pretty Link Cloaked Link)
You will see in the very basic example above, that pretty link has redirected you to the Pretty Link website, but using a much shorter and less confusing URL.

Why would you want Pretty Link for your WordPress website?
Well there are many reasons this is good for your WordPress affiliate and other outgoing links. Some of the reasons I have found that it helps me are listed below.
- Cloak outgoing links, control no follow and other settings, like redirect types (temp, permanent, etc.).
- Easily change all outgoing traffic to an affiliate program by changing one single link.
- Make sure your affiliate code does not get bypassed when sending people to your affiliate offers.
- Organize all of your marketing links into Groups.
- Get instant real time click results for your marketing links, easily compare these with affiliate reports.
- Export and import your Pretty Links so you can easily move them to a new installation / server.
- Tweet your Pretty Links with a single click from your Pretty Links admin page in WordPress admin.
- Social sharing of your Pretty Links with integrated social link sharing.
The features of Pretty Links are amazing and in my opinion, it’s well worth the upgrade from the free version to the Pretty Links PRO version. I have been using Pretty Links for quite sometime now and I have found it to be very helpful in tracking the performance of my marketing links, Tweets, etc.
I will be doing some in depth training with this tool in the future and creating lessons for advanced use of this plugin.
