Wordpress plugin: Link Cloaking Plugin

Posted on January 3, 2009 by admin19 Comments »

I just found a good Wordpress plugin to cloak affiliate links or any links I want, this plugin named as ‘Link Cloaking Plugin‘. Since I got problem with the GoCodes Wordpress plugin (Wordpress plugin to cloak links) when I trying to upgrade it, so I try to find another good alternatives to cloak any links. And my hunting ended at ‘Link Cloaking Plugin’.

I am still using GoCodes Wordpress plugin for this blog, because there’re quite many cloaked links using GoCodes in this blog that very time consuming if I convert those GoCodes cloaked links to ‘Link Cloaking Plugin’. But I have been using it on my other blogs.

I think ‘Link Cloaking Plugin’ has more features than other free similar Wordpress plugins like Gocodes, Affiliatemask, link-mask, permacop, etc. Here’s the features list taken from its official site:

Choose what to cloak – all links, only the links you specify or no links at all.
Choose where to cloak – posts, pages or both.
Configure the URL – you can set the “prefix” part of the URL (see examples below).
Exception list – links pointing to domains in this list will not be cloaked. For example, this is useful if you have chosen to cloak all links but don’t want to cloak the links to your own domains.
Compatible with all browsers – the link cloaker plugin doesn’t use JavaScript so it will work even for visitors that have disabled JS.
“Smart” cloaking – relative, ambiguous or malformed URLs will not be cloaked. Better safe than sorry.

And there’re three things I love from this plugin:

No need to change .htaccess file since ‘Link Cloaking Plugin’ does it automatically. Instead of GoCodes.
The hits statistic feature. Instead of other similar plugins don’t provide this feature, except GoCodes.
Its feature in managing cloaked links, you can do it manually or automatically cloak all external links. Just check it out how it works on your Wordpress dashboard under “Settings” and “Tools” menu.

If you are interesting to cloak affiliate links using another methods instead of using Wordpress plugin, please read my previous article – How to cloak affiliate links. There’re about three methods you can use to cloak your affiliate links or any links you want. Good luck!

Hi Admin. So you’re still using gocodes on this blog?

For some reason this gocodes plugin isn’t working properly on my blog.
Do you know that there’s 3 versions of code we must insert before “# BEGIN WordPress”? They are:
1. Code originally mentioned on plugin homepage.
2. RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^go/([a-zA-Z0-9._-]*)/?$ /index.php?gocode=$1 [L,R] — source: wordpress.org
3. RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^go/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]*)/?$ /index.php?gocode=$1 [L,R] — source: wordpress.org

I have tried them all, but no good results.

Visitting plugin homepage? Comment is closed.

Anyway, thanks for the post. I’ll go with it alternatively.

I know, I know…but have you guys thought about the results of being caught out for cloaking? You lose your streaming income and all the stable affiliates.

You just write the code necessary to interface with the plug-in. If you’re familiar enough with programming and with php, it isn’t that difficult to do. If you’re not, it’s not possible for you to do it.
