Better Links is a fast and easy way to create and manage links from within your WordPress dashboard. To make it easy we let you create links from within a dedicated link manager and even create and insert links right from within your WordPress post editor.
Sure, seeing your links are being clicked is neat but wouldn’t it be more useful to see where your links are being clicked (and where they aren’t?)

Better Links

Easily create, manage and insert shortened Better Links that originate from your WordPress domain. Forget link shortening services - use Better Links.

WebFactory

Opens external links in a new tab or a or new window. You can set URLs that should either be forced to open in a new window or ignored.
The plugin produces XHTML Strict compliant code and is search engine optimized (SEO). 
This is done using JavaScript’s <code>window.open()</code>-function. It adds only a few lines of vanilla JavaScript to the page, and does not require any external libraries like jQuery.
Most other plugins perform a hack by altering the <code>target</code> parameter (i.e. <code><a href="http://somewhere.example" target="_blank"></code>). That method is not XHTML Strict compliant. 
This plugin handles the links client-side, which lets search engines follow the links properly. Also, if a browser does not support JavaScript, the plugin is simply inactive, and does not result in any errors.
