Same thing here except a few big non-affiliate UK sites. I just hope these retarded politicians would retire fast enough and leave their positions to internet savvy ones...
All is in the title :) I am not hosting anything illegal or controversial, just simple affiliate sites. I am getting nervous that one day a forum webmaster/owner complains and there goes my non-bulletproof hosting...
Just to emphasize: I am talking about mass linkspam-related complaints -...
Cloaking might not be the right word here as I simply use the 301 redirect option in the Pretty Link plugin. It does rename a long affiliate link into a shorter one and then redirect using 301 (in my case) to the affiliate partner landing page. I just want not to allow G to see these affiliate...
I read that we can disallow googlebot from accessing the folder where the Wordpress link cloaking/redirection plugins are located. However, in the case of Pretty Link, I see that the affiliate links are in a WP database and thus not located in any php file in the Pretty Link folder. Will the...
Thank you blackieman!! Yes, I do use Pretty Link Lite and I will do what you advised. I was searching BHW and I saw that another member recommended Pretty Link to you so I guess you tried with this plugin and I imagine it worked exactly as you wanted? If you are not using this plugin any more...
Nice to know, thanks! Do you in what circumstances a penalty would or wouldn't be passed? The more I read about this, the more it seems 301ing correctly does not guarantee the penalty would not be passed. I guess the best thing to do is to try at least..
I am also using the Pretty Link plugin and same as you Google is indexing the affiliate landing page under my own domain. Since you wrote you were not under any penalty that may have been caused by this indexing error, I am confused now.

May I know if you are still using the GoCodes affiliate link cloaking plugin? I guess not so what do you do now to well cloak your aff links please?
I have the same issue as you did for some of my domains. I am using Pretty Link WP plugin instead (use of simple 301 redirects) but the problem...
If I want to stop the GG bot from knowing that I have aff links on my sites, what do you do usually? The question is not about cloaking long/ugly/obvious aff links from humans here. Just GG bot.
A WP aff link cloaking plugin like Pretty Link is no good as it simply does 301 redirects to the...
Normally we have:
my-money-site.com/my-aff-link >> GOES TO >> site-like-amazon.com/end-target-page
All good above but I see that Google actually indexes:
my-money-site.com/end-target-page
Huh?? :confused:
I do a check and see:
site:my-money-site.com

Autumn, I have a few Amazon sites with the Pretty Link plugin (rewritten/shortened affiliate links and then redirected via 301) where when I type site:moneysite.com I do see that Google indexed moneysite.com/the-amazon-page-indexed like you explained above. A few sites seems penalized because of...
We cannot use a link shortening service like bit.ly but what about plugins like Pretty Link that changes the Amazon affiliate links on your money sites to something shorter/more readable and simply redirect to Amazon?
