Go to Joomla root folder and rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess, then go to the administration panel->site->Global Configuration

Set

Search Engine Friendly URLs=> yes

Use Apache mod_rewrite => yes

If you have any troubles with the new links check the .htaccess file and set the RewriteBase.

You need to make sure that mod_rewrite is enabled, then turn on the "Search Engine Friendly URLs" option in Joomla's Global Configuration settings.

Be aware though that this solution will not provide you with the tracking or analytics the other plugin will.

You also will not be able to put external links in (eg. affiliates) and make them look like you, ex: yourdomain.com/prettyaffiliatelink
