Wordpress plugin - URL Redirection

Redirect URLs was developed for some reasons. Sometimes you need to have a short and user friendly URL to pass to your friends over IM or to use it on your podcast. Other times you might want to create a redirection to hide your affiliate links.

There is a WordPress plugin that can transform your blog into a URL redirection central. GoCodes enables you to create custom URLs inside your domain that will redirect the user to any website or page on the Internet.

Suppose you are a podcaster and you want to point your listeners to some cool pictures on the Internet. Unfortunate the URL for the pictures is something long and complex, say http://www.domain.com/folder/zr/?pic3">http://www.domain.com/folder/zr/?pic3Instead of using that URL, therefore, you could use the plugin to create a redirection on your blog, say http://www.myblog.com/go/pictures/">http://www.myblog.com/go/pictures/.

Hope this help.
