Login Tutorial
Pretty
Links is one of the popular link management plugins in WordPress. Unlike other
link shortening plugins, it lets you create links with your own domain. Also,
it lets you track the link clicks, allows redirects, and provides other useful
features with easy to use interface.
How do I signup for Pretty
Links
Before
you start using Pretty Links, you need to buy and download the Pretty Links WordPress plugin.

you download the plugin, it can be installed and activated in the WordPress
Dashboard. If you need help, then follow our guide on how to install a plugin for detailed instructions.
Once the plugin

the preferred redirection type.

dashboard monitoring
The
dashboard has a lot of reporting features you may find interesting including
click data, timestamp of clicks, and more. It isn't in-depth enough to follow
conversions but does provide a bit more analytics data so you can see what
links are getting clicked as well. When you do make sales this helps you
connect the dots just a bit more, but we do have to admit is a very minor
component overall.

login: conclusion
Affiliate
marketing is not easy. It takes a lot of effort to build a proper website that
people can trust. Using ugly affiliate links can break that trust because not
only the affiliate looks look spammy, but they are also incredibly awful to
look at.
