Pretty Links reviews

Pretty Links helps us to create professional branded links which best serve our marketing purposes. This also helps to drive more engagement on the content we're promoting. I highly recommend it

PROS

A perfect link management tool that beautifies our page links and enhances SEO too. It's been over 3 years since we've been using this WP plugin even on customers' sites. It's very easy to work with and good for brand marketing.Subscription plans are quite fair and affordable.

CONS

Nothing bad to say about the plugin. It works well on newer versions of WordPress

Reasons for switching to Pretty Links

Bitly works well but sometimes shortened links are detected as being spammy.

Simple Redirect Links - Huge Time Saver

PROS

I like that I can quickly create easy-to-remember affiliate links and easy-to-say URLs to promote on my website and podcast. I've been on the free version of Pretty Links forever, and have over 1000 links stored in my WordPress dashboard at this point. What I love the most is when a tracking link changes, I can update it in one place and (provided I've used that Pretty Link in my posts), it will update all those link placements across the entire site.

CONS

The reporting is a little weak, at least on the free version. Some more advanced affiliate link tracking tools will give you more granular data on where the traffic is coming from and which specific links are making conversions.

Reason for choosing Pretty Links

At the time, this was the only solution I was aware of.

Freemium That Limits You

Despite these limitations, Pretty Links is my go-to link tracking tool for my Wordpress sites. The data is sufficient if you're on a free plan and definitely even more granular with the paid plan.

PROS

Using Pretty Links is very easy and without hassle. Just install and activate and set-up within 5 minutes. Tracking the links that you want to track is also super easy. You can even customers the link for SEO purposes and really make them pretty nd readable. Great for branding. You can upgrade for more features.

CONS

The major disadvantage I found with it, was that you are limited to using it with Wordpress sites. If you have non-WP sites, you'll have to use other software. Also because of this limitation, you need to login to your site to retrieve the data.

Great workaround for long links!

PROS

Pretty Links is a great tool to shorten urls while still using your domain name. It's easy to use and integrates with WordPress. I've used it for a lot of different aspects of my business. The free version has a lot of great features.

CONS

It can hurt your SEO a little if you use it in the wrong capacities. They have some annoying pop ups in the WordPress interface, but overall it's worth it.

Most excellent link cloaker

I believe this is the best link cloaker for marketers out there, including affiliate marketers, because it would help shorten their links, make them more appealing to click on, and also to avoid affiliate link restrictions from website that do not support affiliate links.

PROS

I love the free plan, which only allows you to install and activate on your WordPress site, and make use of it without paying any money at all, and still achieve the same result. Finally, a cloaked link doesn't take more than 2 seconds to redirect.

CONS

I haven't seen anything bad about Pretty links since I began using the software on my WordPress admin area.
