Link Options [-]

Group 

 [?]
Select a group for this link.

Redirection Type 

 [?]
307 Redirection is the best option if your Target URL could possibly change or need accurate reporting for this link.

301 Redirection is the best option if you're NOT planning on changing your Target URL. Traditionally this option is considered to be the best approach to use for your SEO/SEM efforts but since Pretty Link uses your domain name either way this notion isn't necessarily true for Pretty Links. Also, this option may not give you accurate reporting since proxy and caching servers may go directly to your Target URL once it's cached.

Pretty Bar Redirection is the best option if you want to show the Pretty Bar at the top of the page when redirecting to the Target URL.

Cloak Redirection is the best option if you don't want your Target URL to be visible even after the redirection. This way, if a Target URL doesn't redirect to a URL you want to show then this will mask it.

Pixel Redirection is the option you should select if you want this link to behave like a tracking pixel instead of as a link. This option is useful if you want to track the number of times a page or email is opened. If you place your Pretty Link inside an img tag on the page (Example: <img src="/yourslug" />) then the page load will be tracked as a click and then displayed. Note: If this option is selected your Target URL will simply be ignored if there's a value in it.

SEO Options

  'Nofollow' this Link  [?]
Select this if you want to add a nofollow code to this link. A nofollow will prevent reputable spiders and robots from following or indexing this link.

Tracking Options

  Track this Link  [?]
De-select this option if you don't want this link tracked. If de-selected, this link will still redirect to the target URL but hits on it won't be recorded in the database.

Parameter Forwarding

  •  Forward Parameters Off  [?]
    You may want to leave this option off if you don't need to forward any parameters on to your Target URL.
  •  Standard Parameter Forwarding  [?]
    Select this option if you want to forward parameters through your pretty link to your Target URL. This will allow you to pass parameters in the standard syntax for example the pretty link http://yoururl.com/coollink?product_id=4&sku=5441 will forward to the target URL and append the same parameters like so: http://anotherurl.com?product_id=4&sku=5441.
  •  Custom Parameter Forwarding    [?]
    Select this option if you want to forward parameters through your Pretty Link to your Target URL and write the parameters in a custom format. For example, say I wanted to to have my links look like this: http://yourdomain.com/products/14/4 and I wanted this to forward to http://anotherurl.com?product_id=14&dock=4 you'd just select this option and enter the following string into the text field /products/%product_id%/%dock%. This will tell Pretty Link where each variable will be located in the URL and what each variable name is.
