Very convenient and powerful tool to manage links! It definitely deserves a lot of installations! Great report view, replace links and import/export tools. All statistics on clicking and replacing the target link URL in one click with no need to correct all the links placed over the website. Place affiliate links in any place: posts, pages, e-books, YouTube video descriptions and see if they are clicked. I didn’t find any disadvantages: all works perfectly! Excellent job, developers!

Awesome plugin, easy to use. Seems to work everywhere on my website. One issue I have is that none of options under “Link Embedding” will save after updating. Is the link embedding area meant to serve the affiliate link or just the Embed HTML link and shortcode?

I liked this plugin just due to X-Robots Noindex feature. Thanks to the developer for creating this fantastic piece. I appreciate your work.
