  • Destination URL: Enter the destination URL to which user will be redirected on link click

  • Cloaked URL - Cloaking ensures that visitors see the original domain name and not the destination URL. You can change the prefix (default 'recommends') that comes before the cloaked link's slug from global settings, navigate to WordPress Admin dashboard > WPAdCenter > Settings > General > Link options > Cloaked link prefix.

  • Use cloaked URL: this enabled cloaked URL functionality

  • Link Options - (Available when Ad Type is Banner Image or External Image Link)

    • Open link in a new tab - Select 'Yes' from the dropdown to open the link in the new tab. If the 'Global' option is selected, then a global setting will be applied.

    • Use nofollow on link - If selected 'Yes' from dropdown, it signals that the page linking out is claiming no endorsement of the page it links to. If the 'Global' option is selected, then a global setting will be applied.

    • Additional rel tags - Adds rel tags to the link. If the 'Global' checkbox is selected, the global setting will be applied. To override global settings, uncheck the global setting's checkbox and select tags from the dropdown.

    • Additional CSS classes - Adds classes to the link. If the 'Global' checkbox is selected, the global setting will be applied. To override global settings, uncheck the global setting's checkbox and provide classes in the input box.

In Manage Affiliate Links page, you would be able to see data of currently created links and shortcode to copy.
