wordpress sites with /go/ links

[eliquid]

I came across a couple WP sites using link cloaking and the links were all:

domain.com/go/product-idnumbr type of links

which plugins or tools do this with the /go/ in the link as a folder?

Thanks ahead of time for the info.

There is one called Redirection, I use that.

It lets you set 301 redirects to any name, so I send neverblue.com to /go/blue.php and it just does it.

gocodes

MaxBlogPress Ninja Affiliate plugin lets you do this. You can cloak the link to look like whatever you want. /go/blue.php /freebies/iphone.php . Whatever structure you want to use. It will also turn keywords into these links within your blog posts. I've been using it for a couple years.

I do them manually, with a simple php redirect.
Make a blank .php file and edit it with a text editor.

Pase in this code:

<?php

   header( 'Location: xxxx' ) ;

?>

Replace xxxx with your link.

I use ze prettylink plugin for WP and prefix my affiliate links just like that.

domain.com/go/offer
domain.com/recommends/offer
domain.com/coupons/offer

This does that but it's in german (but simple as hell) Affiliate Link Plugin für Wordpress | mgcontent.com | Mark Gebur. You can either replace certain keywords with your link or create a new masked affilaite link. There are quite a few wordpress plugins for affiliate link masking...

Weird. I just put my 202 redirects in a go folder. Didn't realize there was more to it than that.

I use gocodes, but there are other plugins that may be better. With gocodes you need to manually add each redirect link. May be overwhelming if you have a few products, unless there is another plugin that does bulk or rule uploads. Shouldn't be hard to customize it though.

I like prettylink and gocodes if it must be a WP plugin.

Otherwise I prefer to use shorty or Click counter and download counter when I want to count clicks.

Most of the time I just create little one liner php files with the header(Location) command as shown above, when click stats aren't necessary.

I recently developed WP Traffic Tools, which is brand new and for the most part unreleased. I'm waiting until after Christmas to do the sales threads and etc.

One of the sections is Link Profiles, which handles the pretty links with a handful of more advanced options like the ones mentioned above and some spider redirection and tracking options.

It also does redirection by keyword in referring url detection and has a quality control cookie stuffing section (Though you cannot blank the referrers with the stuffed cookies to prevent blatant theft type scenarios.

It also target cloaks too (makes the aff link's page appear to be on the same domain) and stuffs the cookie when it does this because iframes cannot set cookies initiated by javascript on the remote domain... so we have to use some techniques to assure all cookies are stuffed with a cloaked target.

I'd love to have you guys on board. I plan to improve it all over the next year as my customers make requests (as long as I'm not slave driven... I have to manage BlogSense too.)
