Hi,
Like the topic says, looking for a good plugin which will cloak my links so they don't get stolen, and also will look better.
It would be a big plus if you know of a plugin which cloaks all the words for you automatically.

I don't mind paying for it if it does a good job, but I would like something I can test first (I've seen some that make you pay for trial period, WTF?

)

Thanks!

Have a look at GhostURL - Affiliate Link Cloaker - Ghost URL

It has a feature where you can set it to automatically create a cloaked link based on words in your post/page.

I personally have used Pretty Link Pro. There is also a Lite version, but I don't think Lite has the automated feature.

You may want to consider doing it yourself for free.

Check out the link: The Ultimate Affiliate Link Cloaker

The creator of the tool also created a tutorial video:

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

Hope it helps.

If your looking for more power (auto linking, clickthrough tracking, spider/human awareness, geotargeting, and advanced ad placements (place ads by keywords in content & referrer) ) then WPTrafficTools is a solution. It's commercial but inexpensive & supported.

I struggled with this for days and could not find one to actually work. I finally tried Pretty Link and it works great and was easy too.

I recommend Pretty Link Pro, it is very easy to use, allows you to shorten and customize your links, while cloaking them so the user sees only your custom link! Yes, there is a light version that’s free, but it does not cloak links.

Here is the plugin I use. It's free and works great.
Free Link Cloaking Plugin for WordPress | W-Shadow.com

If you go to my site and hover over the links at the bottom of the page, you'll see how the links appear.

Like barbling said, there are many free cloaking plugins available. Lately, I've been using this one (not for automatic cloaking, though): WordPress › Affiliate Links Manager « WordPress Plugins
