For anyone who has a blog, you should strongly consider adding the Pretty Link plugin. Basically, Pretty Link allows you to shrink, share, and track any URL that comes from your WordPress blog. Unlike other URL link shortening methods, Pretty Link is unique because it allows you to use your personal website to create short links.

Here are some of the best features of the Pretty Link plugin:

*Track results of your PPC (Pay Per Click) campaigns by setting your advertisements to go back to Pretty Links.
* Establish pretty links for your zip, binary, and pdf files and then track how many times they are downloaded.
* Increase your website’s SEO (Search Engine Optimization) power by posting Pretty Links from your website on social media and social bookmarking websites, along with other blogs and domains throughout the internet.
*Track the effectiveness of email campaigns by embedding Pretty Links within your e-mail messages.
*Mask and/or clean up affiliate links and merchant shopping cart links.
*Track the number of times an e-mail message is opened by creating and embedding a Pretty Link “tracking pixel.”
*Post your Pretty Links to Twitter directly from your WordPress administrative (admin) panel.
*Keep your links organized by setting up various groups.
*Send Pretty Links via e-mail straight from your WordPress administrative (admin) panel.

Please note that while this blog post deals with the benefits of the Pretty Link plugin, you may also be interested in a higher level version known as Pretty Link Pro. Both are definitely worthwhile plugins for your blog.

Now that you know the benefits of Pretty Link, it is time to get involved. Examples of this include the following:

*Write a blog post about Pretty Link.
*Make a donation to Pretty Link.
*Recommend the plugin to friends you have met through Twitter, Facebook, and other social networking websites.
*Give Pretty Link a positive rating on the WordPress Pretty Link download page. Please note that you will first need to register for a free WordPress account.

Bottom line…Pretty Link is certainly beneficial to anyone serious about making the most of their blogging efforts.
