Monitor and Fix Broken Amazon Affiliate Links with AffiliateX

A broken affiliate link is one of the sneakiest ways to lose money online. It doesn’t throw an error, you will notice. It doesn’t send you a warning. It quietly sends your readers to a dead page, and every click that should have earned a commission earns nothing. By the time you spot it, days or weeks of sales are already gone.

AffiliateX includes a built-in Broken Links Checker that closes this gap. It scans your affiliate links, sorts them by health, and tells you exactly which ones need fixing, so a dead link never drains your earnings in silence again. Here’s how it works and how to use it.

How Broken Links Damage Your Website Performance

It’s easy to underestimate the damage a few dead links can do. The harm adds up across several areas at once.

• Lose Commissions: A broken link earns zero. If it sits on a popular page, you could be losing sales every single day without even realizing it.
• Lose Reader Trust: When someone clicks your recommendation and lands on an error or a missing product, they doubt your advice. That makes them less likely to click again.
• Hurt Website SEO: Search engines notice dead links and a poor user experience. Too many broken links can chip away at your rankings over time.
• Make Site Slow: Bad links and outdated connections can drag on your page performance, and slower pages cost you both visitors and rankings.

The fix isn’t to check everything manually. That’s impossible at scale. The fix is to let a tool monitor your links and enable you to fix them to ensure website performance.

How AffiliateX Broken Links Checker Works

AffiliateX Broken Links Checker scans the health of all your affiliate links and shows the results in one place. It works for Amazon, AliExpress, and eBay links, so every network you use is covered.

At the center is an interactive dashboard. At a glance, it shows the total number of links checked, how many are working, how many are broken, and how many have warnings. You get an instant read on your site’s link health without clicking through a single page.

To use it, install and activate both AffiliateX Free and AffiliateX Pro, then go to AffiliateX > Broken Links Checker. You will find everything organized into clear tabs and controls, ready to scan.

Broken Links Checker: Four Link Statuses Explained

AffiliateX Broken Link Checker sorts every link into one of four tabs, like a health check that tells you what needs attention. Each tab shows the same useful details, like how many pages the link appears on, its total clicks, and when it was last scanned. A Search URLs bar lets you jump straight to any specific link.

Working: These are your healthy links, doing their job and sending readers where they should go. You can search this tab anytime to confirm a link is fine.

Issues: This tab gathers links with problems that need a look. You can see each problem’s status, check how much traffic it affects, and fix it right away.

Warnings: These links aren’t fully broken, but something’s off. They would be redirected or temporarily unavailable. Catching them early prevents bigger problems later.

Broken: These are the urgent ones, like dead links that need fixing now. Because the tab shows total clicks and the pages involved, you can see exactly how much each broken link is costing you and act fast.

Sorting links this way turns a worry into a clear, prioritized to-do list and makes affiliates’ Amazon links safe, ensuring the website’s good reputation.

Automatic Amazon Affiliate Link Scanning and Alerts

You shouldn’t have to remember to check your links, and with AffiliateX, you don’t. The tool can run on its own.

Automate Scanning lets you schedule scans to run daily, weekly, or monthly, whatever fits your publishing pace. You can also pause it whenever you like. Once it’s set, the checker keeps watch in the background.

If you need an answer right now, just press the Scan Now button on the dashboard, and the tool scans your links and returns the latest results within about a minute.

To stay informed without checking in, switch on Email Notifications. With this toggle enabled, AffiliateX emails you whenever it finds broken links, so you hear about problems as soon as they appear.

Find and Fix Broken Amazon Affiliate Links with AffiliateX 

Here’s how quick the actual fix is, start to finish. Open your Broken Links Checker dashboard and look at the summary. If the Broken or Warnings count is greater than 0, click that tab. Scan the list, or type a specific URL into the Search URLs bar to find the link you want. You will see which pages it appears on and how many clicks it gets, so you know how urgent it is. Then update or replace the link, and the leak is sealed.

Two extra touches make this even easier. You can sort your link data across all platforms at once or filter by a specific platform, like Amazon, so you can focus on what matters. And you can use the Export option to download your link information, handy for deeper analysis or for keeping records.
