There are some good free WP plugins and some bad ones too, If you're not using Wordpress and want a cloaking solution, be careful - many of the free and paid solutions can do more damage than good! Straight PHP redirects are fine up to a point - it depends how secure you want your links to be - it will not protect against parasite software and invariably leaves the cloaked link visible in the browser address bar and it's way too time consuming, and has no tracking facility. Convenience and time saving features as well as easy organization of links is vital if you have a lot of them. If anyone wants to learn some very interesting facts about cloaking methods and some of the problems involved for affiliates, please drop by my blog and search for "link cloaking" or similar and it will lead you to some eye opening facts.
