Which link cloaker

[onlinebetdotcom]

I want to know what other affiliates here are using for link cloaking and what you like and dislike about each.

I have been using Redirection forever but wonder if the paid tools are much better. I've heard good things about Dinomatic and know many using Thirsty Affiliates but are there others?

you can make your own... why would you pay for one..

Issue is to detect add block and deal with it, check allfreechips.com links with and without your adblock

Also if you pay for a service do you trust every "click" will go to your link?

I prefer easy affiliate links when it comes to a wp plugin to help manage links.

Once set you you have the choice of using the short code or not, or you can use the absolute link to the link and it still counts stats etc the same.

Cloaking, nofollow etc is a choice you can control as well.

Clearly one to put n your list of considerations.

Yes, easy affiliate links is nice, I use it on one of my websites. I also use Nonaki, it's super simple.

Redirection is nice and simple for a straight forward redirect of an aff link, we mainly use that on WP sites as we don't really need anything more complicated.

Most of our sites are a single geo though, so I can see the benefit of using a plug in that's able to geotarget the link.

I am using pretty links. It's a simple and friendly plugin for wp, ideal for this job.

Does pretty links allow for meta refresh?

Does pretty links allow for meta refresh?

Free version allow only 301, 302 or 307 redirect.

Totally get the need for simplicity with Pretty Links. But yep, if you're diving into more specific needs like meta refresh, you might need to look beyond the free version. And oh, the geotargeting thing is a game-changer for sure, especially when you’re targeting audiences in different locations. Anyone else juggling multiple plugins for this, or is there a golden solution I'm missing?
