    I am enjoying pg simple affiliate shop. Thank you for making and supporting it. (It is a nice replacement for the now dead ‘StoreStacker’.)

    It would be nice to have the option of obfuscating links so that the link to buy the product would look like an internal link (a menu router) which would then redirect to the actual destination.

    This would help with credibility and SEO.

    Hi Swirl,
    Thank you for the suggestion. It is not the first time this one has come up and previously I have suggested that the redirection plugin in conjunction with Simple Affiliate Shop will give you exactly what you are suggesting.

    There is quite a bit of work in managing obfuscation and I was not convinced it was in the scope of Simple but I am open to being convinced and investigating further.

    Regards,

    Hi Brian,
    Listing each redirect separately would be a lot to handle. This would be more like a menu router that would simply translate a unique id into a redirect. It is pretty common for affiliate stores.
