Many online companies and entrepreneurs have found success in buying and selling Amazon affiliate websites, as it can be a lucrative venture.
If you buy or sell a website today, chances are 15- 25% of the Amazon affiliate links on that site are either broken, malformed or have missing or incorrect Amazon store codes.
The intention of this article is to make Amazon affiliate site buyers and sellers aware that using Linkmoney on their sites will increase revenue and add value to their affiliate sites, fast.
Amazon Affiliate Website Buyers
If you are an Amazon affiliate site buyer, there are two common affiliate link issues that will need to be resolved once an affiliate site has been purchased:
1. Changing the Amazon Store tracking ID from the seller to your (the buyer) Amazon tracking ID in order to receive the Amazon commissions the site earns while it is in inventory.
2. Once the site is sold to a new buyer, the Amazon tracking ID will need to be changed to the buyer’s tracking ID.
I also put together this article called “Top 20 Amazon Affiliate Link Mistakes” which goes into more detail about the common Amazon affiliate link mistakes and how to correct them.
If the buyer uses a Search and Replace plugin to do this, chances are they are missing 15-25% of Amazon Affiliate link issues. Read this article called “Linkmoney VS Search and Replace plugins” to understand the difference between a Search and Replace plugin and Linkmoney.
Attention Buyers- there is no longer a need to Manually Fix Affiliate links
Prior to Linkmoney, manually fixing all the affiliate link issues was a huge task and most likely took a specialized team which is a cost to the buyer.
Oftentimes manually fixing affiliate links can introduce new unexpected affiliate link issues- and no one knows. The QA to check that all the links were fixed correctly is nearly impossible for Amazon affiliate site buyers- especially if the Buyer has an inventory of affiliate sites.
Sure, there are companies that will print out specific link issues “you specifically asked for” into a spreadsheet, but none that automatically check and fix everything at the push of a button. Linkmoney A.I. is the answer.
Want Linkmoney A.I. to Check and Fix your Amazon Affiliate link problems?
Linkmoney developed its own A.I.
Linkmoney A.I. comes with a set of instructions to search an entire site for every common and uncommon affiliate link issue. Then automatically fixes the link errors.
Here is an article that has all the Amazon affiliate common and not-so-common link issues Linkmoney A.I. currently checks and fixes called “Linkmoney App Reports Link Errors (all detectable link errors explained).
Linkmoney A.I. doesn’t make mistakes, it doesn’t get tired, and it is fast.
Linkmoney Reports
Linkmoney creates an extensive Amazon link audit every time a Fix Scan is run. We save all of your Fix Scans so you have a Fix Scan history.
The audit also includes full easy to understand reports that show the affiliate links Linkmoney checked and fixed.
The Detailed Fix Report shows every affiliate link Linkmoney fixed. This is also great for understanding how the affiliate link issues happened. If you know how affiliate link issues are getting on the site, you can stop them from happening.

Here is an article I wrote called “Amazon Short Link Checker” that explains how Linkmoney checks and fixes Amazon Short Codes.

Linkmoney Scan Options

2. Cleanup Links– Cleans up overly long Amazon affiliate links with extra query parameters and turns them into perfect standard Amazon affiliate links.

What do we mean by “Affiliate Link Issues”?
We call an affiliate link issue anything that prevents an affiliate site from earning Amazon referral commissions.
Linkmoney is compatible with TablePress
TablePress might be the most popular WordPress plugin and millions of websites use it.
Linkmoney is compatible with the TablePress plugin and its shortcode.
As an example, if you have a site that has tables on pages such as “The Top 10 Something”, and there are Amazon affiliate links and or Amazon Short Codes in the table, Linkmoney will check and automatically fix all the affiliate links in the table.
Linkmoney adds more value to a Buyer’s Amazon Affiliate site inventory fast
If a buyer purchases an affiliate site, then runs Linkmoney, the site is now more valuable in at least three ways:
1. Linkmoney will check and fix all the Amazon affiliate link issues on the site. If all the Amazon Affiliate links are healthy, the site now earns more Amazon commissions from the existing traffic. More revenue the more site value.
2.Linkmoney nearly removes all the time and cost of a team manually fixing affiliate link issues. Linkmoney pays for itself.
3. An affiliate site with 100% healthy links to Amazon provides the site’s customers with a much better experience. A better site experience can increase a longer “Average Time On Page” and lower the site’s Bounce Rate. The average time on the page can be seen in the site’s Google Analytics in “Page Views”.
Ever wish you could push a button and all your problems go away? Now you can.
Buyers can easily check and fix ALL the Amazon Affiliate Sites in their Inventory fast
If you are a buyer, chances are you have Amazon affiliate sites that are sitting in inventory ready to be sold.
Running Linkmoney on all your sites in inventory can add instant value and earn more Amazon commissions while they are waiting to be sold.
If all the Amazon links are healthy and making you revenue, the more Amazon commissions you earn from the site’s existing traffic.
Linkmoney will pay for itself.
Amazon Affiliate Website Sellers
If you are looking to sell your Amazon affiliate site, fixing all your affiliate links prior to a buyer evaluating the site will add revenue to the site.
Similar to the points made for an Amazon affiliate site Buyer also applies to the Seller:
1. Checking and fixing your Amazon affiliate links adds more revenue to the site from its existing traffic. If your affiliate links are broken or have Amazon affiliate tracking ID problems, you will not earn your Amazon referral commissions.
2. Clean healthy Amazon affiliate links give your customers a better experience and can increase your Average Time On Page” and lower “Bounce Rate”.
If all your Amazon affiliate links are healthy and making you revenue, you will earn more Amazon commissions from your existing traffic.
More revenue the site makes gives it a better valuation. And you get a bonus, the site will earn more revenue while you are looking for a buyer.
Are ALL your Amazon Affiliate links making you money from your traffic?
