Kitgenix

Affiliate URLs can get long, messy, and hard to manage — especially once they’re embedded across pages, posts, emails, and ads.
Kitgenix Affiliate Link Manager gives you a simple, central place to create and manage short affiliate links, and redirect visitors using a clean URL format:
<pre><code>/go/{slug} (prefix configurable)
</code></pre>
It’s designed to be lightweight and practical: 
– Create links with a Name, Slug and Destination URL 
– Configure the redirect prefix (default: <code>go</code>) 
– Choose redirect status: 307, 302 or 301 
– Track click counts per link 
– No third-party redirect/short-link service (redirects happen on your site)
SEO note: you can choose a per-link rel value (nofollow / sponsored / both). When placing your short URL into content, use sponsored/nofollow to follow search engine guidelines for affiliate links.
<h4>Notes</h4>
<ul>
<li>This plugin stores links in a private custom post type and performs redirects via WordPress rewrite rules.</li>
<li>After changing the redirect prefix, you may need to re-save Permalinks (Settings → Permalinks) to ensure rewrite rules are refreshed.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Quick Start</h3>
<ol>
<li>Install and activate the plugin.</li>
<li>Go to Kitgenix → Affiliate Links.</li>
<li>Add a link (Name + Destination URL + optional custom slug).</li>
<li>Copy the generated short URL and use it anywhere.</li>
</ol>
