Simple Affiliate Link Checker
Simple Affiliate Link Checker
Description
Picture this: you have your affiliate website up and running, traffic is on track and increasing, and your content is hitting the target… but then you check your affiliate account balance and nothing seems to change…
We’ve all been there. Broken links can cost you thousands of dollars in revenue! **
Thankfully, Simple Affiliate Link Checker will alert you every time you have a dead affiliate link, so you don’t need to check it yourself while you’re losing time and money!

Reviews
Naming is misleading, just use it for affiliate websites
By 
don't know why they named it gambling, this can be used for other types of websites. I use it for my amazon aff. website and its all good
good if youre just starting
By 
would recomend for starters, but you might need a denser tool when ur site grows.
You can use others, but the slack integration is great
By 
Although it does the same thing as a 404 checker, I use it because of the slack integration 🙂
simple tool
By 
I tried it because someone from an affiliate forum recommended it. Now i use it everytime I start a new affiliate website because it's easy to install and it has the slack integration (that we use on our team). I recommend it
it works great
By 
Simple and effective. It just tells you when your links aren't working
good for starters
By 
Solid choice if your just starting in the niche. It says gambling on the title, but it can be used for any affiliate website
Makes me not lose money
By 
Saved me a couple of bucks already. Sometimes the links get broken for no reason and you end up losing money. It basically alerts you when it happens. Easy to set up
Love the slack communication
By 
It does its job, verifies your affiliate links and it lets you know if they're broken.
This is an awesome plugin
