This week’s plugin is called Redirection. This plugin simplifies the process of building 301 Redirects by creating an easy to use interface within WordPress for updating your blog’s .htaccess file. This is great for affiliate marketers who want to hide their affiliate links.

Another nice feature of Redirection is its 404 monitoring. It will track the 404 errors your blog generates so that you can then create redirects for them. That’s pretty slick.

If you’re interested, head on over to the Redirection page for a list of even more features and help installing and running the plugin (including a video tutorial).
