SEO Affiliate Link Checker

Amazon Affiliate Link

An Amazon affiliate link is a normal Amazon product link that carries your Associates tag, so a sale can be credited to you. This page explains how to create one and, more importantly, how to check that every Amazon affiliate link on your site still carries the right tag. Affiliate Link Checker at affiliatelinkchecker.com does that check.

What is an Amazon affiliate link?

An Amazon affiliate link is an Amazon product URL with your affiliate tag inside it, which tells Amazon which account sent the visitor. If the tag is missing or belongs to someone else, you do not get credit for the sale.

Affiliate Link Checker does not create these links. It reads the links already on your pages and reports the network, the tag each link carries, the rel attribute and whether the link resolves where its redirects end.

When to check an affiliate link

Check an affiliate link whenever a page changes hands, gets edited or sits untouched for months.

After pasting new product links

A copied link can arrive without your tag. A quick check shows a missing tag before the page goes live.

When a writer or editor helps

Another person may paste a tag that is not yours. The report prints the tag it found beside the issue.

Before a big content push

Run a page check on your best articles first. Fix gaps where the traffic already is.

For a site with many pages

A crawl of a verified site finds every Amazon link at once instead of one page at a time.

How to check an Amazon affiliate link with Affiliate Link Checker

To check an Amazon affiliate link, paste the page URL into Affiliate Link Checker and read the list of links it finds. The free check needs no account and covers one page at a time.

Open Affiliate Link Checker

01
Open affiliatelinkchecker.com and find the box titled Check every affiliate link on your site.

06
Fix any row that says missing tag, not your tag, short link, missing rel or wrong marketplace, then check the page again.
07
To cover a whole site, sign up, add the site, prove you own it and run a crawl.

Amazon affiliate link limits and networks

Amazon affiliate link limits on the free check are deliberately small: one page at a time, checking the links themselves, not stock or earnings.

A link marked rel=sponsored is checked even when none of those networks owns it. Amazon links also carry a marketplace read from the host, so a page written for one storefront does not quietly send readers to another.

Free check: One page, any URL, no signup
Free daily limit: 5 checks a day per IP address
Links per page: Up to 200 resolved on Free
Amazon storefronts: Any marketplace, plus amzn.to and amzn.eu
Other networks: ShareASale, CJ Affiliate, Impact, Awin, Rakuten Advertising
Pro crawl size: Up to 2,000 pages
Business crawl size: Up to 20,000 pages
Not checked: Stock and earnings

Affiliate link generator: what this tool does and does not do

Affiliate Link Checker is not an affiliate link generator. It does not build or shorten links for you, so you still create each link in your affiliate program.

What it adds is the second half of the job: proof, after you publish, that every link carries a tag and a rel attribute and still leads somewhere.

Affiliate link tracking: what the report follows

For affiliate link tracking, this tool tracks the state of your links over time, not their clicks. A crawl on Pro or Business is repeated on a schedule, weekly on Pro and daily on Business.

The email report goes out only when a crawl finds a problem the previous crawl did not. A quiet site keeps a quiet inbox.

Affiliate link cloaking and short links

Affiliate link cloaking, such as an Amazon short link, hides the tag and the marketplace behind a redirect. The checker marks these rows as short link and says to check them after the redirect is followed.

It also follows each link through its redirects, paced at one request per second per host, and tells not found, gone, a redirect loop, too many redirects, a timeout and a network block apart.

Questions about Amazon affiliate links

Short answers first, then the detail. More guides: Amazon affiliate sites, internal linking in SEO, how to shorten a link, or browse all free online tools.

To create Amazon affiliate link URLs, join the Amazon Associates program and generate the link for a product from your Associates account.

The generated link carries your tag. Paste it into your page, then run Affiliate Link Checker on that page to confirm the tag survived.

An affiliate link is a web address that identifies who sent the visitor, so a seller can pay that person a commission.

Affiliate Link Checker reads those links and reports the tag, the network and the rel attribute for each one.

To make an affiliate link, sign up with the affiliate program of the store you promote and copy the tracked link it gives you.

This tool does not make links. It checks the ones you have made, so a typo or a missing tag shows up early.

To get Amazon affiliate link URLs on mobile, sign in to your Associates account and use the share or link options Amazon offers for a product.

Amazon controls those screens and they can change, so follow Amazon's own help. Once the link is on your page, the free check works in a phone browser too.

To track affiliate links on your own site, check them on a schedule so you see changes as they appear.

A verified site on Pro is crawled weekly and on Business daily, and the email arrives only when a new problem shows up.
