How does the ReaderLinks Wordpress plug-in work?
It works off of your own self-hosted WordPress site (sorry, it does not work on WordPress.com because WordPress.com doesn’t allow the installation of 3rd-party plugins). It’s just like having any other WordPress plugin installed on your setup. The plug-in allows you to use your own domain name in all of your marketing links. For instance, you can have a url of
http://benjaminbunny.com/books/48 to send your potential customer to your Amazon Author page from the back of your book! Friendlier urls are a proven way to increase clicks.
NOTE: Wordpress is prone to plug-in conflicts. AHS cannot adjust for every issue due to the behavior of your installed Wordpress tools. If you're running into issues with the AHS plug-in, please make sure you uninstall your latest installed/updated plug-ins one-by-one to identify the culprit.
NOTE: AHS Wordpress links will not load for customers as quickly as our standard ReaderLinks. This is because the plug-in requires an intermediary page to route the traffic correctly. If you notice a slow-down in ad conversions this may be the issue. Moving to the standard ReaderLinks url will resolve the issue.
