I started with the free version of Pretty Link, which does almost everything I needed. However, I love the keyword replacement and auto-tweets in the Pro version. This is a well-written plugin, with all the features I’d ever need in a link-shortener plugin. Installation and upgrades can both be done from the WordPress admin, making it very simple to setup.
This is a story of an affiliate marketer (me) who signed up for the Pretty Link Pro affiliate program. This was many months ago (nearly a year) and their sign-up process did not send me the verification email. I contacted their support and notified them that I did not have access. They set me up with a couple days, and emailed me the login.
The problem with their email was that they provided me access to the Pretty Link Pro service, when I have not purchased it yet. There was no formal talk about getting a free license, and the ethical thing for me to do was to let them know that they accidentally set me up with premium access on a product I did not yet upgrade to.
I am not one to just assume I can get free access to a product, but I do have a problem with how this played out when I let the cat out of the bag. I received a reply letting me know that my premium access was removed (or fixed, as they said).
Here is what should have happened:
* They should have realized an opportunity for positive press, and a rave review by allowing me premium access for free because I did the right thing in the first place. That story would have helped their sales a LOT.
* They should have realized that I was an affiliate marketer who teaches bloggers (their target market) how to make money blogging.
Pretty Link Pro offers extended features such as affiliate link cloaking, automatic keyword linking, and other cool things, but I have found some bugs with Pretty Link. At one point, you could add Pretty Links from the dashboard without issue, but when adding on the Pretty Link options page, it would not authorize access for some reason. This happened a few times, and it may have been the host I was with at the time. Who knows. But there was an issue that ticked me off at one time. That was when I linked to my friend Alex Whalley’s website and the link ended up being bad after I already sent out a newsletter. It wouldn’t allow me to fix the link because it claimed it was taken.
