WordPress Link Management: Link Pretty Links Pro vs Better Links Pro vs ThirstyAffiliates

PRODUCT REVIEWS

I've been using a link management tool for about 4 years. It's very simple to use, yet extremely powerful. I use it to cloak simple links, control 301 redirects, create stealth pages (to bypass the vendors sales page) and it supports categories and statistics.

However, it's not a WordPress plugin. This tool runs separately, outside of WordPress. I like the tool and it works great, but now I'm looking for something I can access while working inside a WordPress dashboard, with at least some of the features listed above.

Researching for WordPress link management plugins, I see 3 getting most of the chatter:

These are NOT affiliate links.

Pretty Link Pro
Better Links Pro
ThirstyAffiliates

I'd like to know fellow Warrior's experience with these plugins - the good, the bad and the ugly. Anything you would like to share is very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your opinions.

I have used Pretty Link Pro and it worked well for me. The Pro has some good add-ons to it like you can easily transfer your aff links to another domain/website without hassle. Overall, the plugin is highly customizable.

Thanks

  Thank you, Marian! I hadn't seen Ninja Affiliate. I will look at it and consider it's potential.
  
  Real users are exactly why I asked about these. So glad to have your input

  I tried to see the Tour of Ninja Affiliate at MaxBlogPress but it's not available.
  Coming up with a blank screen for me

I use ERS, it's not WordPress based and is a standalone script. It does peacefully coexist with WP in a separate folder on your server. It does not use a database.

Easy Redirect Script

Thank you, Jesus! - Not the first time I've said that

Easy Redirect Script is what I've been using for years. It is an excellent tool that I will continue using for nearly all of my link management.

My quest was for a link management tool to run within WordPress, and I have decided to try Pretty Links Pro which I purchased earlier today. The setup is simple and the software is intuitive. I like the features I've implemented so far.

Thanks again, Jesus.
