Today we released Pretty Link version 1.4.56. It fixes numerous bugs including:

  1. Pretty Link (Lite and Pro) is now 100% compatible with WordPress 3.1 and Multi-Site. Pretty Link has been running well with WordPress 3.1 but these Pretty Link fixes have been put in place so that future updates will work properly (especially when a Pretty Link release updates the database).
  2. Link slug availability routines have been shored up to allow pretty links from being able to utilize all slugs that truly don’t conflict with page, post, category and tag slugs.
  3. Fixed link rotation form in Pretty Link Pro so that the link weights won’t reset when the page is reloaded.
  4. Fixed a minor auto link creation issue that affected posts when the Default Group was set to “None” in Pretty Link Pro.
  5. Made several modifications to the hit resetting routines especially when Simple Click Tracking is enabled.
  6. Made several enhancements to the Keyword Replacement Routines in Pretty Link Pro.

We recommend that all Pretty Link Lite & Pro users upgrade to 1.4.56.

Reports about this release that have been coming in from users this morning have been very positive … so you have no excuse but to upgrade …

Where Did Pretty Link Cloaking and the Pretty Bar Go?

September 24, 2010 by · 120 Comments

This morning Pretty Link disappeared from the WordPress.org plugin repository because it didn’t comply with a new, apparently undocumented policy that doesn’t allow plugins to cloak links. Pretty Link wasn’t the only plugin affected by this policy change, wordpress.org removed all plugins from the repository that allowed users to cloak links.

I’ve been working with the guys at wordpress.org this morning to get Pretty Link back on the repository. The only way to do this was to remove link cloaking, pretty bar and pixel tracking from the Pretty Link Lite versions 1.4.51 and beyond.

How will this change affect me?

Here are the facts you need to know about this significant change: [Read more...]

Successful Affiliate Link Campaigns: Replacing Keywords with Pretty Link Pro

March 18, 2010 by · 5 Comments
DeliciousStumbleUponTwitterFacebookRedditLinkedIn

Pretty Link Pro is a very powerful application for successful Affiliate Link campaigns — and one of it’s most important features for Affiliate Link campaigns is Keyword Replacements. This feature allows you to attach keywords to your pretty links and have those keywords replaced throughout your blog with click-able links to that pretty link. This technique can help to meet link density recommendations for SEO and successful affiliate link campaigns on even very old blog posts (since PLP replaces these links through all your posts & pages).

Pretty Link Pro also provide ways to throttle the number of keywords replaced per post, number of replacements per keyword per post, and specify link attributes like styling and nofollows. These options will allow your posts to not get too “spammy” — which can be very bad for affiliate link campaigns in particular.
