What's up everyone, welcome to Keytube blogging and today we will learn how to manage affiliate
0:04
links in WordPress. So here we are going to use a plugin called pretty links or you can also use
0:11
plugins like Thirsty Affiliates to manage affiliate links. So let me just show you how you can set up
0:16
pretty links. So for this you need to go to your dashboard and under the plugins click on add new
0:22
and here you need to search for something like pretty link and just install this plugin pretty
0:28

0:34
in our website so I will just go to pretty links and I will click on add new. Now you need to add
0:41
a title so suppose I want to add a affiliate link of Hostinger so I can type a name like Hostinger
0:49
so you can put any name here and here you can set the redirection to 301 permanent
0:55
and then you need to add your Hostinger affiliate links. So let me just add the Hostinger homepage
1:01
link here so you can add your affiliate links in the target URL. So whenever someone click on the
1:07
pretty link then it will automatically redirect to your affiliate link. So let me just add the
1:12
Hostinger link here and then you have to add the pretty link format. So suppose I want to add the
1:19
link format like slash go slash Hostinger like this so you can add any word here so I will use
1:30
go slash Hostinger so it will be easy to manage and easy to remember the name. Now you can also
1:37
add a notes here but I don't use this feature. Now let's click on advance and here you have to

3:07
update and here you also get some features like reporting so here you can select normal tracking
