Re WP Redirect Bot Plugin

10 replies
I would like to protect my affiliate links and have seen an advert for the WP Redirect Bot plugin. Does anybody know if it is any good?? Or maybe you can recommend another plugin that is better?

    You don't really need to pay for something like this. I'm at about a day care level when it comes to php, but it only takes about 3 seconds to make a php redirect, which is essentially what the plugin appears to be doing.

    Download filezilla if you don't have it and find out your login details for your website if you don't have that either. Connect to your website with the ftp program, navigate to your website folder by going public html -> yoursite.com and create a folder named after your affiliate product within your website folder. The folders will look like this

    public html
    -yourwebsite.com
    --affiliateproduct

    Then create a new text file and put this in the new folder
    Code:
    <?php
    
       header( 'Location: http://www.youraffiliatelink.com' ) ;
    
    ?>
    and save it as "index.php

    So now you can link to your product by doing "mysite.com/affiliateproduct.

    The plugin might save you all of 20 seconds so I can't really recommend spending money on it

    Yeah, there are all these tools out there, but I've used php redirects forever and they're awesome.

      Thanks Abby - it isn't something I have ever done before - but clearly is something I need to learn and I now have some very clear instructions (above)

    I'd recommend a plugin called "Pretty Links"... It looks like that's what you're after.

    The free version should cover your needs

      quick page/post redirect has been working pretty good for me.

      Its free and has not interfered with any of my other plugins or my theme.

    Hi
    As JMICHAELZ mentioned above, there is a free plugin in wordpress.org site called
    Quick Page/Post Redirect


    and its pretty enough to do the redirection of pages/posts to internal or external links.

    If you want to change some of your words into affiliate links with statistics, download
    either pretty links or seo automatic links. Both are having free versions.
