BetterLinks – Link Shortener, Link Cloaking, Redirects, Affiliate Link Manager & MCP
BetterLinks is the complete link management plugin for WordPress. Turn long, ugly URLs into short, branded, memorable links — then cloak them, redirect them, organize them and track every single click, all from one dashboard inside WordPress. No third-party URL shortener. No monthly subscription for basic link tracking. Your links live on your own domain, and your click data stays in your own database. 👉 See All Features | Documentation | Live Demo | Upgrade to PRO 🤖 NEW: Manage Your Links With AI (MCP Connector) BetterLinks now ships a built-in MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, so AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code can work with your links directly — in plain English. Ask your assistant to “create a short link for this affiliate offer”, “which links got the most clicks last month?” or “put every Black Friday link in its own category”, and it does the work inside your own dashboard. Runs on your own site — no hosted broker in between; link and analytics data is only shared with the AI assistant you connect, when that assistant uses a tool 14 built-in tools — create, update and delete links, manage categories and tags, read click analytics, and read or update settings Two ways to connect — a one-time OAuth approval for Claude and ChatGPT, or a copy-paste command for Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code Off by default — nothing is exposed to anyone until you switch it on in BetterLinks → MCP Scope-aware — apps that ask for read-only access are enforced as read-only and clearly labelled in your dashboard Revocable any time — reset the connection token, or revoke a single connected app, with one click Permission-aware — every action runs as the user who approved it and respects that account’s permissions; only administrators can connect by default Built-in health check — a live “Test connection” round trip tells you exactly which step failed if a client can’t connect Built on the WordPress Abilities API, bundled with the plugin — there are no companion plugins to install. 🔗 Create Short Links In Seconds Paste a long URL, pick a slug, hit publish. BetterLinks generates clean short links like yoursite.com/go/deal that are easy to share, easy to remember and impossible to mistype. Instant URL shortener — shorten any internal or external URL in a couple of clicks Custom slugs — write your own, or auto-generate from the title, target URL, or a random string One-click copy & share — grab any short link straight from the dashboard Duplicate & bulk actions — clone links, bulk delete with undo, drag-and-drop to reorder Quick Link Creation — create short links from outside the WordPress admin using an API key Custom fields — attach your own metadata to any link ↪️ Powerful Redirects & Link Cloaking Send visitors exactly where you want, with the redirect type that fits the job. 301, 302 & 307 redirects — permanent, temporary and method-preserving Link cloaking (PRO) — keep your branded short URL in the address bar the whole visit Wildcard redirects — match a whole path pattern with /folder/* Parameter forwarding — pass query strings straight through to the destination Case-sensitive slugs — treat /Deal and /deal as separate links when you need to Nofollow & sponsored tags — mark affiliate links correctly for search engines Force HTTPS (PRO) — every redirect goes out secure, whatever is stored on the link 📊 Real-Time Click Tracking & Link Analytics Know which links actually work.

Content Egg – Affiliate Product Importer & Price Comparison
Content Egg is an affiliate marketing plugin for WordPress and WooCommerce. It pulls live product data — prices, availability, images, offers — from affiliate networks, supplier feeds and almost any online store, keeps it current on a schedule, and publishes it in your posts as editorial blocks, comparison tables and price lists. Two things make it more than a shortcode-and-table plugin: 25+ Egg Blocks — labelled, schema-ready article sections (FAQ, pros & cons, methodology, comparison table, verdict) wired straight to your product data. These are the self-contained chunks AI search engines quote. AI Agents — connect ChatGPT, Claude, or any assistant that can call an API, then work in plain language: “Add a live price list of the Ninja air fryer to my review.” Every feature is in the free version. PRO adds more affiliate networks, more feed slots, and write access for AI agents. What is this plugin for? ✔ Product reviews & niche blogs ✔ Price comparison sites ✔ Automated affiliate sites ✔ WooCommerce listings ✔ Daily deals & coupons Official website · Egg Blocks demo article · Documentation Egg Blocks — 25+ Editorial Gutenberg Blocks for Affiliate Content Stop building product reviews from generic paragraphs and shortcodes. Egg Blocks are 25+ purpose-built Gutenberg blocks designed for affiliate content — each one semantically labelled, schema-ready, and wired directly to your Content Egg products. Article structure: intro, conclusion, section header, table of contents, FAQ, callout, step list Editorial insights: key takeaways, criteria, methodology, definitions, myth vs fact, pros & cons Product & commerce: product card, editorial product, quick picks, where to buy, comparison table, verdict, rating breakdown, specifications Conversion & social proof: contextual CTA, pricing, testimonial, trust signals Navigation: related posts The editorial product block is the quiet one: a real product shown as part of the article, with no price, rating or buy button, so a guide can cite products and still read like a guide. Why it matters for SEO: AI search engines (Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, ChatGPT) cite chunks of content, not whole pages. Egg Blocks break your article into self-contained, machine-readable sections — a labeled FAQ block, a methodology block, a pros/cons section — each one a candidate for AI citation and rich results. The FAQ block emits FAQPage structured data automatically. EggBlocks Writer: a free external skill you paste into ChatGPT, Claude, or any capable AI chat. Ask for a full article and the AI outputs ready-to-paste Gutenberg markup using real Egg Blocks. Copy, paste into the WordPress Code Editor, assign your Content Egg products, publish. AI Agents — Run Content Egg from ChatGPT or Claude Connect ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, or anything that can call an API, then just ask in plain language. Your assistant talks to your site directly over the WordPress REST API — no middleman service, no API keys to manage. Set-up is a WordPress application password, and every action your assistant takes is logged. Requires WordPress 6.9 or newer. Free version — your assistant can research, compose and preview. Content Egg’s own write actions are PRO: “Which modules are active, and did my CSV feed import last night?” “Search my feeds for robot vacuums under $300.” “Find 3 YouTube videos and 5 images for my air fryer post.” “What products and blocks are already on ‘Best Air Fryers’?” “Compose a roundup of the 5 best countertop blenders with Egg Blocks and show me a preview.” You get the rendered preview plus the finished block markup — paste it into the editor yourself, or let your assistant create the draft through WordPress’s own REST API. Editorial blocks land ready to publish; blocks that display products stay empty until products are attached, which is a PRO action. PRO — your assistant does the work on your site, from one message: “Create a full roundup article of the 5 best countertop blenders.” “Add an FAQ section to my post ‘Best Air Fryers’.” “Drop a live price list of the Ninja air fryer into my review.” “Rewrite this post with Egg Blocks.” “Refresh the prices on my Ninja review and set its featured image.” “Connect this feed to my site: example.com/products.csv” “Activate the Amazon module and set price updates every 24 hours.” Behind those prompts: attach products (including custom ones you describe), edit, reorder and remove them, refresh prices, add images, videos and coupons, insert blocks, create a full draft page, publish or schedule it, and manage modules, settings, feeds and new affiliate shops. ▶ Claude Scheduled Tasks for WordPress: Automate Article Publishing Both videos show the PRO workflow end to end. Full set-up guide: AI Agents. Import Products from CSV, XML and JSON Feeds Paste a supplier feed URL and the setup wizard detects the format, encoding, currency and CSV settings, lets you map fields against real sample data, then imports in the background with live progress. Feeds are cached between syncs and re-import on the schedule you set — including into WooCommerce. Create Product Posts and WooCommerce Products No more copy-pasting product details. Turn imported data into posts or WooCommerce products in one click — ready to publish and monetize. Bulk keyword import creates a post per keyword, and product prefill monetizes the posts you already have. Price Comparison for WordPress Price Blocks: Combine offers from multiple networks into one block. Historical Price Data: Display past prices to help users find the best purchase times. Dynamic Charts: Create charts showing price changes over time. Price Drop Alerts: Email alerts for price drops. EAN Search: Merge products into a single comparison list using EANs. AI Content Generation for Product Reviews Write from the product data you imported — title, specs, offers, attributes — instead of from a blank prompt. One click per section: Product reviews How-to-use instructions Buyer’s guides Product descriptions Translations, summaries and rewrites Every prompt is editable and takes dynamic variables for product fields. Works with the current OpenAI (GPT-5.x) and Anthropic (Claude) models. Bridge Pages Create clean, product-focused landing pages on your site before sending visitors to merchants. Bridge Pages keep users engaged longer, improve SEO with targeted keywords, and boost affiliate conversions. 1-Click setup: Instantly build from Content Egg offers. Flexible layouts: Use as product, review, or comparison pages. SEO control: Set global or post-specific canonical options. ▶ Watch Bridge Pages in action How It Works Activate the modules you need Add or import products from supported networks and stores Publish content and start earning affiliate commissions Plugin Features Import & sync: one-click feed import for full supplier catalogs · scheduled auto-import at custom intervals · bulk keyword import to create product posts · CSV, XML and JSON feeds · WooCommerce sync and autoblogging · Affiliate Egg integration for stores without an API · official network APIs Prices & offers: automatic price updates with tracker & alerts · price comparison blocks with multiple offers · historical prices and charts · add offers by keyword or product URL · EAN matching · auto-insert affiliate IDs in links Publish: 25+ Egg Blocks for reviews, roundups and buying guides · high-conversion product templates (ready-made or custom) · create custom templates with ChatGPT · shortcodes for flexible placement · images, videos, news and coupons · works with any WordPress theme · multi-language Automate & measure: AI Agents (ChatGPT, Claude, MCP) · AI content generation · product prefill for existing posts · Bridge Pages · clicks statistics reports Free Version vs Content Egg PRO Every feature is in the free version — feed imports, price comparison and price history, AI content generation, Egg Blocks, Bridge Pages, clicks statistics, WooCommerce sync and autoblogging. PRO widens the reach rather than unlocking the basics: 28 more network modules — Amazon, eBay, AliExpress, Walmart, AWIN, CJ, Rakuten and more 50 feed modules instead of 3 Write access for AI agents — your assistant builds and edits pages instead of only researching them Fully automatic AI prefill — monetize existing posts unattended, start to finish Free version modules: Includes CSV-XML Feed, CJ Links, Coupon, GdeSlon, Google Images, Offer, Pexels, Pexels Videos, Pixabay, Related Keywords, RSS Fetcher, Skimlinks Coupons, Sovrn, Unsplash, YouTube.
