## Description

This plugin generates geo targetted cloaked affiliate links. These links can be 
placed into content manually or if a keyword/phrase is specified, links will be 
added into content automatically.

This plugin relies on the Region Detect plugin to do the geo targetting.

## Installation

 1. This first step is optional, but it does make the plugin much more powerful – download
    and install the Region Detect plugin.
 2. Extract the zip file and just drop the contents in the `wp-content/plugins/` directory
    of your WordPress installation.
 3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ page.
