Linker adds a new custom post type to your Admin menu, where you can create, edit, delete, and manage Links by 301 redirects. What’s great about Linker is that it tracks click counts and saves them as a custom field. it’s really simple & cool and there is no setup involved. It works seamlessly straight out of the box for whichever theme and plugins you are using.
