The Pretty Link Plug-in has so much to offer your Network Marketing Internet Business. Today I want to reveal its pixel tracking feature. I am going to go out on a limb and say that this is the most powerful feature of the Pretty Link Plug-in. You can literally embed an invisible pixel on any web page that you have access to and track the amount of traffic it gets. Imagine having the ability to know how many of the people in your list actually opened your newsletter or how many people made it to your product check-out page and didn’t make the purchase. It’s unbelievable that there is so much value in a free plug-in…Blair Williams, nailed this one!

So do you want to know how it works? First, locate the Pretty Link settings area on the left menu panel in your WordPress Dashboard. Second, click on “Add New Link.” Enter a “title” for your pixel to remind you what you’re tracking. Ie-You could name your tracking pixel “Newsletter” if you plan to track the number of readers that opens your newsletter. Third, click on “Link Options.” Select the “track as a pixel” option and click “create.” Next, click on “Pretty Link” in the “Pretty Link” settings. The first link you see will be your new tracking pixel. Notice the link doesn’t appear as a regular URL link. The link appears as an embedded link source. Ie- “a href=”http://www.deyondelaroyall.com/trackingpixel”> /a> This is because you are not going to place the link inside of the Address Bar.

Click on your link to highlight it and select “ctrl” + “c” simultaneously to copy the link. Now you can place the link inside of any html enabled email, web page or newsletter! If you think of additional uses for this feature please post your thoughts and ideas. I look forward to reading your comments. Until then, take care and stay empowered.

Yours in Mastery,

When I first began my quest down the Network Marketing Internet Business path, I encountered some problems with masking my affiliate links. I was told by my domain company that I couldn’t forward my subdomain to a marketing page because my domain wasn’t hosted by them. I then contacted my hosting company and was told that they couldn’t control the URLs of my landing pages because they weren’t hosted by them! So I transferred my hosting back to my domain provider just so that I could forward and mask my landing pages. However, the switch between hosting companies was disasterous and I ended up switching back within the first two days. I’d given up all hope on masking my affiliate links until I found this plug-in.

Blair William’s *Pretty Link* Plug-in is an Entreprenuer’s best friend. Especially if the entrepreneur has a network marketing internet business. The plug-in allows you to shrink, track and share any URL on the Internet from your WordPress website. You literally have the ability to create links to any website you desire without having to use link shrinking services like tinyurl, budurl, and bit.ly. This plugin allows you to create shortlinks coming from your own domain! Pretty Link tracks each hit on your URL and provides a full, detailed report of where the hit came from, the browser, os and host. *Pretty Link* is a killer plug-in for those who are in the Network Marketing Industry and want to mask their affiliate links, track clicks from emails and increase the reach of their website by spreading these links via Twitter, forums or comments on other blogs.

Hold on to your hat while I test drive this plug-in for you…
