What is the wordpress plugin that hides the URL?

I see a lot of people who have www.mysite.com/recommends/THE_PRODUCT which then forwards to the product they are promoting / affiliate of.

What plugin is that and how much is it? Or maybe it's not a plugin... I'm not sure to be honest.

Thanks in advance!

    I'm not sure of any specific ones, but I do know you can simply search for a 'cloaker' plugin and you'll have plenty of options to pick from.

    I'm not sure if there's a plugin for that. Mike Filsaime had a product a while back that did this, but I don't remember what it is. I just did a quick search on Mike Filsaime, but I didn't find it. I'm not sure if he's still selling it.

    Do a search on his name and dig around a little. You might find it.

    I know this answer isn't terribly helpful, but I thought I'd at least try to point you in the right direction.

    This is what you are looking for:

    WordPress › Pretty Link Lite « WordPress Plugins

    The lite version is free and does exactly what you mentioned.

    This plug-in allows you to automatically forward a page to anywhere - within your site or to another site, so would be good for forwarding directly with an affiliate link:

    Page Links To WordPress › Page Links To « WordPress Plugins

    Personally, my favourite plugin for this is GoCodes.

    it' comes out as

    yourwebsite.com/recommends < or whatever word you want>/yourtitle

    =)

    It also tracks the amount of clicks you get per link.

    I guess this is the 3rd vote for Pretty Links. It does everything I need, but my needs are pretty simple.

    I only use the Lite/Free version. Has anyone upgraded to the PRO and thought it was worth the price?

    I am using a similar type of plugin in my blog. The plugin name is "Thirsty Affiliates". Search under WordPress.org > Plugins and you will get the link. It will cloak your link like the way you want.

    Pretty link lite is all you need buddy. it can even show you the amount of clicks you get on your cloaked links. That is what you need.
