## Description

Go Redirects is a URL forwarder plugin for WordPress that enables URLs like `http://
mysite.com/go/far-far-away/` to forward to URLs like `http://someothersite.com/`.
It’s a great way to create clean-looking affiliate links or provide permement links
for remote URLs that may change over time. It includes analytics for the number 
of times a URL has been forwarded.

I want exactly what this plug-in does, but without the /go/ subdirectory. It defeats
my purpose … I put out a newsletter and it has a bad URL published in it. I simply
want to have that ‘bad’ url, if clicked to take it to the good URL … which neither
use the /go/subdirectory.

Does exactly what it says on the tin. I’m amazed more people aren’t using this. 
You can use it to mask referral and affiliate links, or just simply use it to save
editing links across many pages on your website.
