Thanks for this great plugin! I”ve just started using it, but I can allready tell that it’ll soon be up on all of my sites

Only thing missing is, as others allready have said here, some kind of stats! I would really apreciate if you could add that. Would even concider donating to this plugin if stats gets included

[...] Link Hopper – Allows you to mask outside links as links to pages on your own site. This looks good to the search engines giving your site a higher rank. [...]

John #1: If your affiliate link has two sets of “http://” then it would have failed javascript validation. I’ve just released Version 1.3 with different validation – could you see if that helps please? If not, I can provide you with a version without Javascript.

John #2: Stats are a good idea, and I’ll consider adding that kind of functionality at a later date. I don’t have the time for it just now though.

John #3: If your Base URL is “links”, and your hop name is “clickbank”, then this:
“http://site.com/links/clickbank”
will redirect to
“http://www.affiliatelink.hop.clickbank”

I’ve just released Version 1.3 of the plugin which includes “test” links in the admin screen, to show you what your link will be (it puts your site URL together with the Base URL and Hop Name).

Hope that helps.

Ok I must be missing something. I have an affiliate link that I would love to redirect to my blog.

http://mydomain/links

I configured my linkhopper as such

Base Url
/links/

hop name Destination URL
clickbank http://affiliatelink.hop.clickbank

Where am I messing something? I am assumeing my redirect link should be http://mydomain/links/

Im banging my head here any advise or help would be valuable.

Hello, great plugin! I have ONE problem: Some of my affilate links I want to mask are *very* long containg to sets of http:// . And that is not allowed, says linkhopper. I just cant save these links. How do i un-enable this check?

Hi folks. Sorry for taking so long to get back to some of you.

Alex: Stats are a great idea, I’ll consider building some form of traffic logging at a later date. I have no plans to do so immediately though – I just don’t have the time.

Jo: Thanks very much for the feedback and the stats idea.

John Z: Sorry for the mixup, I have comment moderation turned on, which is why you didn’t see your earlier comment. I’ve just released a new version of this plugin using jQuery instead of Mootools, so it shouldn’t clash with your other plugins. Could you try version 1.3 and let me know how it goes? Thanks.

Kate: Set the “Base URL” to be “hop”. Then create a hopper with name “test” and destination “http://www.google.com”. Then if you go to yoursite.com/hop/test, you’ll be redirected to Google. Make sense? Feel free to email me if you need me to walk you through anything.

[I back-dated this comment to avoid confusion with the many John's here.]
