This is the third tutorial on how to use the Pretty Link plugin for WordPress. In this one I go over the Ultra-Cloak, Nofollow and Redirect-Type options. Next week I’ll finish up the link option tutorial series by showing you the pretty link tracking options and parameter forwarding.
Sweet — now we’re getting somewhere! If you still have issues, just drop a comment on this page.

Very interesting stuff about the 301 redirect. I never knew that the temp redirect could be bad. I also didn’t know anything about canonical links and its soooo cool you can set this stuff up in pretty link!
Nice tutorial. I did find the video quality to be a bit “off”. Seems like your Vimeo videos come out better.
Thanks for the interesting vids!
Found out there is a WordPress plugin for canonical links:

But maybe easier is changing the template myself: http://wpengineer.com/relcanonical-url-for-wordpress-theme/
Or ask Blair for an extra feature to the Pretty Link maybe?
haha … That plugin should be great and if your theme doesn’t include canonical links then this is a great option … I prefer using a theme that does this out of the box (like thesis) but if you don’t want to switch themes then this plugin is fantastic.
Hi Blair,
Great Plugin! If I use the ‘Nofollow’ option on a link, when I add the link to my WP Theme and view source, should I be able to see the ‘Nofollow’ tag in the link or is it “handled” behind the scenes from the code?
Thanks,
Peter
