The Problem

Your site earns while you sleep.
It also leaks while you sleep.

Most affiliate site owners have no idea how many of their links are broken, dead, or pointing to out-of-stock products. There's no alert. No notification. Just silent lost commissions.

Broken Links

Merchant pages get restructured, products get deleted, URLs change. Your review from 2022 still links to a 404. Every click is a dead end — and a lost commission.

Out-of-Stock Products

Readers click your "best pick" recommendation and find it's sold out or discontinued. Conversions drop to zero, and you have no idea it's happening.

Dead Affiliate Programs

Affiliate programs shut down, change networks, or drop commissions to zero. Your tracking links still work — they just don't pay you anymore.

Content sites with more than 200 affiliate links typically have 15–25% link rot within 18 months of publishing. On a site doing $5k/month in affiliate revenue, that's $750–$1,250 in silent monthly losses — compounding every month you don't fix it.

The Math

One fixed link pays for
this audit many times over.

The audit costs $99. Here's what it typically recovers for a mid-sized affiliate site in the outdoor gear niche.

Process

From URL to audit report
in 48 hours.

Step 1

Crawl

We crawl every page of your site and extract all outbound affiliate links — Amazon, ShareASale, Impact, AvantLink, and more.

Step 2

Check

Every link is tested for HTTP status, product availability, affiliate program health, and commission activity.

Step 3

Score

Issues are prioritized by estimated revenue impact — so you fix the highest-value leaks first.

Step 4

Report

A prioritized report with every broken link, suggested replacement products, and estimated monthly recovery per fix.

What's Included

Everything in your audit report.

1

Full Link Inventory

Every affiliate link on your site, organized by page, program, and link type.

2

Broken Link Report

Every 404, redirect loop, and dead URL — with the exact page it appears on.

3

Out-of-Stock Detection

Products that are unavailable, discontinued, or out of stock at the linked merchant.

4

Program Health Check

Affiliate programs that have closed, changed networks, or stopped paying commissions.

Revenue Impact Estimate

Each issue ranked by estimated monthly revenue loss, so you know where to start.

6

Replacement Suggestions

For each broken or OOS product, we surface active alternatives with current affiliate programs.

"I had no idea 22 of my Amazon links were going to discontinued products. Fixed the top 10 in an afternoon and recovered about $400/month in commissions I didn't know I was missing."
