πŸ”— Link Management

Create and manage redirect links with simple or weighted distribution. Update links once, automatically sync across all your sites.

Understanding Links

Managed links are redirect URLs that you control centrally. Instead of hardcoding affiliate links in your content, you use short links like yoursite.com/go/product that redirect to your actual affiliate URL.

Link Update Timing

When you update a link:

  • β€’ Updates sync automatically
  • β€’ Automatic refresh triggered after 30 seconds
  • β€’ Sites receive updated links
  • β€’ Local cache refreshes within 5 minutes

Changes typically appear within 5 minutes on all sites.

Benefits of Managed Links

  • βœ“ Update quickly: Change affiliate links across all sites with one edit, updates within minutes
  • βœ“ Never lose commissions: Fix broken or expired links quickly
  • βœ“ A/B test offers: Split traffic with weighted distribution
  • βœ“ Track performance: Monitor clicks and conversions
  • βœ“ Cloak ugly URLs: Replace long affiliate links with clean redirects

Link Fields Explained

Link Key

Short identifier for your redirect (e.g., "hostgator", "aweber")

  • β€’ Must be unique to your account
  • β€’ Use descriptive names (not "link1", "link2")
  • β€’ Keep short and memorable
  • β€’ Use hyphens for multi-word keys (e.g., "web-hosting")

URL Entries

Destination URL(s) where traffic will be redirected

  • β€’ Add one or more destination URLs
  • β€’ Each entry can have a weight (for traffic distribution)
  • β€’ Optional partner name for tracking

Weight

Traffic percentage for each URL (0-100)

  • β€’ For simple links: All URLs get equal weight
  • β€’ For weighted links: Distribute traffic by percentage
  • β€’ Total should equal 100 (system helps you balance)
Example Simple Link:
Link Key: hostgator
URL: https://partners.hostgator.com/c/123456/

Result: yoursite.com/go/hostgator β†’ partners.hostgator.com

Weighted Distribution (Split Testing)

Weighted redirects allow you to send traffic to multiple destinations based on percentages. Perfect for A/B testing different offers, rotating between merchants, or load balancing traffic.

How Weighted Distribution Works

Link Key: hosting

Entry 1: BlueHost (60%)
URL: bluehost.com/track/aff123

Entry 2: HostGator (40%)
URL: hostgator.com/c/456

Result: 60% of clicks β†’ BlueHost
        40% of clicks β†’ HostGator

🎯 Accuracy Verified

Our weighted distribution algorithm has been extensively tested and provides highly accurate traffic distribution:

70/30 Split Test
10,000 clicks
URL1: 70.07% (0.07% deviation) βœ…
URL2: 29.93% (0.07% deviation) βœ…
33/33/34 Split Test
10,000 clicks
Max deviation: 0.38% βœ…
All within statistical variance

Smart Weight Management 🎯

The system helps you manage weights intelligently:

  • β€’ Auto-calculation: When you add a new URL, weight automatically fills with remaining percentage
  • β€’ Live feedback: See total weight in real-time as you type
  • β€’ Visual indicators: Green "Perfect!" when total = 100%, Red warning when over 100%
  • β€’ Smart removal: When you delete a URL and only one remains, it auto-adjusts to 100%
Pro Tip: For equal distribution, just enter the same weight for all URLs (e.g., 50/50 or 33/33/34)

The Default Link

Important: Every Account Has a "default" Link

This special link is created automatically and serves as a fallback.

What is the Default Link?

Every user automatically gets a "default" link when their account is created. This special link serves two important purposes:

1. Fallback for Missing Links

When a user visits yoursite.com/go/nonexistent (a link key that doesn't exist), they're redirected to your default link instead of seeing an error.

2. Bare Domain Access

When someone visits your base URL yoursite.com/go/ without any link key, they're automatically redirected to your default link destination.

  • β€’ Points to https://innerprofitcircle.com initially (you can and should change this!)
  • β€’ Required: The deployed scripts expect this link to exist - don't delete it
  • β€’ Can be edited just like any other link - update the destination URL anytime
Best Practice: Change your default link to point to your homepage, main offer, or most important affiliate link. This ensures visitors always land somewhere useful!
