How To Use Gocodes WordPress Plugin to Hide Affiliate links

by Themepremium on October 13, 2009


In my previous post I have written about Gocodes wordpress plugins to hide affiliate links, and this post is dedicated for users who are new to this plugin. This post will guide you on how to use this wordpress plugin.

Download and install gocodes plugin.

After activating the plugin, go to settings>Gocodes and follow the screenshot.

gocodes-wordpress-plugin-settingsBe default when you hide any affiliate link with gocodes it will add /go/ , you can change the “Go”  to any other word. In my case I have changed it to “Offer”.

Also make sure, you have put a check mark in Nofollow Gocodes settings. Once it is done click on Save settings.

Now open tools>Gocodes under your wordpress dashboard. There you need to add the redirection key. For example I’m adding an affiliate link of press75. So I have added the redirection key as Press75, and in the URL field enter your Affiliate link. Once you are done click on add redirect.

gocodes-adding-affiliate-link Now where ever I need to add an affiliate link of press75, instead of odd ugly link, I will simply add this link :

Can you tell us exactly what should be in the .htaccess? The instructions for this plugin fail to do that!

i have used gocodes plugin but the only problem was automation – everytime i have to laboriously enter the affiliate url. If i have about 1000 affiliate URLs it just wont work for me. I use Affiliate Hide v1.0 – http://wordpress.org/support/topic/342154?replies=0

Hi,
There is something I don’t really understand:
When I update my affiliate link in gocodes, I understood that I can hide my affiliate link, so why does it appear in the address bar of the landing page?, I mean that after executing the link the address bar of the browser contains http://www.ProductName.com/ProductName.htm?hop=ed001 insted of http://www.ProductName.com/offer/visit .
(ed001 is my username in the affiliate marketing company.)
Thanks alot,
Dafna.

Will the most current version of go codes, 1.3.4? work with my version of WP which is 2.9.2. When I click to install a warning pops up that states the go code only is tested through the WP 2.8 version. Not sure if is safe to proceed?
