The Pretty Links Plugin is a great tool for affiliate marketers and bloggers. It’s a plugin I use myself and highly recommend.
It’s a WordPress plugin that allows you to shrink, cloak, track, organise and share short links using your domain name and brand.
Turn long affiliate links into prettier looking ones, for example, look how long this Amazon affiliate link is for a book called Build Your Own WordPress Website:
https: //www.amazon. co.uk/Build-your-own-Wordpress-website/dp/1534954546/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1509880019&sr=8-10&keywords=WordPress&linkCode=ll1&tag=suefoster.info-21&linkId=50362e5694fa834f3039d3eb7ce938d6
With Pretty links, you can take this URL and change it to something like this:
https://suefoster.info/BuildYourOwnWordpressWebsite
It looks a lot better, doesn’t it! Which one would you feel more confident clicking through?
It’s a lot more than just a URL shortener, Pretty Links tracks each hit on your URL and provides a full, detailed report of where the hit came from, the browser, os and host.
Pretty Links is a useful plugin for bloggers who want to clean up their affiliate links, track clicks from emails, their links on Twitter to come from their own domain, or generally increase the reach of their website by spreading these links on forums or comments on other blogs.
It’s easy to get started by simply uploading the zip file to WordPress, then activating it and you’ll be able to create links using your website domain name immediately.
