Another vote for Pretty Link. It does everything I need it to and keeps stats right in your WP dashboard.

I was going to ask this very question! Do you have to pay for them, or are they free plug ins?

I started setting up meta-refresh directs because I heard some horror stories about the Lite version of Pretty Link (... the lite version, I'm sure the Pro one is fine).

I did find Pretty Link very easy to use but Aweber always thought the link didn't exist when I used it as a redirect for my emails.

Pretty Link. I used it before for almost 2 years but now I stop for Google Panda reasons.

  Pretty Link is a great way to do it quick and easy for WP.
  
  However, when I'm faced with doing a cloak outside of that I usually just do the good ole fashioned PHP redirect.
  
  And it looks really clean like this:
  
  <?php header("Location: http://YourAffiliateLinkHere.com") ; ?>
  
  Then just put that inside a text file, save as .php and upload to your FTP client in the appropriate directory.
  
  Like: http://YourSite.com/aweber
  
  Drop the new text file inside the "aweber" folder (obviously change name if its not an aweber affiliate link) and you are done.
  
  Test it by going to the link: http://YourSite.com/aweber
  
  If done correctly, it will redirect to your affiliate link, cloak, masked and giving you credit for the sale.

I like GoCodes Plugin. It's simple to use. No follow. Tracks Clicks and best of all, it's free. It doesn't have as many features as pretty links but hey it's free. The one downside is that you can't cloak bulk links at one time. You have to do it one at a time but it still works great.

Thanks

All of the above are good ways of doing it.

You could also consider buying a .info domain and use use it for cloacking only.

Then log in to your registar and forward it to your aff. Link.
