Auto Affiliate Links: Catch Broken Links Before Lost Sales

What Is Auto Affiliate Links?

Auto Affiliate Links is a WordPress plugin that automatically adds and maintains affiliate links across your content. Affiliate marketers lose money every day from links that quietly stop working. Merchants switch affiliate networks, shut down programs, or restructure their URLs without warning, leaving your carefully placed links pointing at dead pages. Checking hundreds of posts by hand for broken links is slow, tedious, and easy to keep putting off.

Auto Affiliate Links solves this by watching the affiliate links it manages and flagging the ones that break. Instead of generic link-checker plugins that bury important affiliate URLs under noise from old blog references, it focuses specifically on the links tied to your income. The plugin scans your site, identifies dead affiliate URLs, and lets you fix them in bulk before readers hit a 404 page and you lose a sale you never knew was at risk.

How Auto Affiliate Links Works

Automated Link Insertion

Auto Affiliate Links scans your content and replaces chosen keywords or product references with affiliate links automatically. You set the rules once, and new posts get monetized without extra manual work. This is especially useful for sites publishing regularly or managing large archives of older content.

Broken Links Checker

The plugin runs a dedicated broken links checker across the affiliate URLs it manages. It flags dead links so you can replace them in bulk from the same dashboard where you manage keywords and networks. This means you catch problems before they show up as a drop in commissions, rather than after.

Affiliate Network Integration

Links can be pulled directly from major affiliate networks including Amazon, ClickBank, eBay, ShareASale, Commission Junction, Walmart, BestBuy, and Envato Marketplace. Rather than hunting for individual product links, Auto Affiliate Links can extract and attach them automatically based on product or category references in your writing.

Click Statistics and Reporting

You can track how many times each inserted link gets clicked, giving you visibility into which content actually drives affiliate revenue. Because working links produce clean data, your click statistics stay accurate instead of being skewed by dead URLs nobody can click. A generated links report also shows exactly which posts and pages received which links.

Import, Export, and Cloaking

All saved links and keywords can be exported and re-imported later using the bulk import/export feature, which is useful when migrating sites or managing multiple properties. Auto Affiliate Links also supports link cloaking and affiliate disclosure settings, along with custom classes, colors, and link targets for design control.

Who Should Use It

• Content sites and review blogs with deep archives where checking every affiliate link manually is impractical
• Affiliate marketers running links through networks like Amazon, ClickBank, or ShareASale that change link structures without notice
• Social media managers and content teams who need affiliate links added consistently without editing every post by hand
• Anyone who has noticed commissions drop and suspects broken links are the quiet cause

Things to Know Before Buying

• Auto Affiliate Links is a WordPress plugin, so it requires a self-hosted WordPress site to install and run
• Custom post types and content built by other plugins may need specific hook support added, though the vendor states this has already been done for dozens of popular plugins
• Setup involves defining keywords, link rules, and exclusions, which takes some initial configuration before the automation runs on its own
