We’ve finally added an oft-requested feature: SEO-Friendly eBay affiliate links.
We feel that this addition completes a feature set that is sure to satisfy the most serious eBay affiliates out there.
From a technical standpoint, the links are done as permanent ’301′ redirects, which is eBay’s preferred method for developers to use.
Upon mouseover of the link, the format will look like this:
http://yourblogdomain.com/customslug/w/com/Miss-Sixty-Ladies-Watch-SJ8001-Tommy-60-Logo-/140494957246?pt=Wristwatches
- ‘yourblogdomain.com‘ will automatically come from your site URL
- ‘customslug’ is an admin-definable slug located in the global settings tab
- The item title and category will be a part of the link as well
We did not choose to take an easier method and just take the rover link and do a base64_encode as some other plugins do. That makes for a really long and ugly URL that is not really ‘friendly’.
We hope you like it.
