hello.
Before we get started, I'd like to thank my hardworking friends at Coupang Partners and the Vivoldi developers who helped me write this blog article.
I'm not a Coupang Partner, but the people around me are working really hard.
If you visit Naver cafes or blogs, you'll see a lot of posts like this.
If I use the Coupang Partners link on my Naver blog, will I get less exposure?
No one knows the exact logic unless you are a core developer of Naver blog.
Summarizing the opinions so far, here are some speculations.
- If you have 100 posts on your blog and most of them (70% or more) have links to Coupang Partners, you'll get low-quality results.
- If some of your blog posts have Coupang Partners links, but not all of them, then it's not low quality.
- If 50% of the posts on your blog have links to Coupang Partners, but the quality of the posts is good, you won't get low quality.
(If you write posts with AI or upload meaningless photos that don't fit the content of the post, it's not good quality) - You can use a shortened URL like Vivoldi to cover the low quality to some extent.
If you put a link to Coupang Partners on your blog and get low quality, most people will abandon the blog and create a new blog with a new Naver ID.
Of course, if you don't use Coupang Partners links anymore and maintain frequent and quality posts, you can get out of low quality again, but it takes too long, so most people just abandon the blog.
If you don't want to get low quality simply because you use Coupang Partners links, you need to make sure Naver doesn't recognize them.
How can you prevent Naver from recognizing your Coupang Partners links?
First, you need to learn how to click the link on the webpage to go to the link.
All shortened URL services in Korea and around the world use the 301 Redirect method to move links. To learn more about what the Redirect method is, check out Vivoldi's "Glossary" page.
The 301 and 302 redirects are server-side, so it's easy to tell if you're using a shortened URL to shorten your Coupang link on your blog.
When you paste the Coupang link into Naver's blog editor, you will see a link banner. This link banner shows the product title and thumbnail.
At this point, Naver can recognize that the link is to Coupang even if you converted the link using a shortened URL.
The domain displayed in the link banner is "vvd.bz" instead of "link.coupang.com", but if the redirects are 301 and 302, it's easy to determine the final destination URL.
So, is there no way out? Well, no.
If you look closely at Vivoldi's Create Link popup screen, you'll see a Redirect Method combo box at the top. If you click on it, you'll see something called 200 (Page Redirect ).
The 200 (Page Redirect) method redirects to a long URL on the client side, which means that after accessing Vivoldi's blank page, the user will be redirected to the original long URL with a wait time of 0.3 seconds.
With this method, Naver cannot determine which long URL this short URL goes to.
To learn more about the difference between redirects, click here to watch our guide video.
If you have the financial means, you can buy your own domain and create short links to your own domain instead of using Vivoldi's default domains vvd.bz and vvd.im.
In other words, if your domain is cupas.kr, which you bought from a domain buying website like Gavia, you can register this domain with Vivoldi.
And when you convert the link to this domain, the short URL will look like cupas.kr/cH5A. This way, Naver won't even know it's a shortened URL.

To recap, here's how it works
- Quickly coming, low quality: convert links to 302, 301 using Redirect method and use it for Naver blog.
- Slow or low quality: Redirect links to 200 and use it for Naver blogs.
- Difficult to get low quality: I used my own domain and converted the link to 200 and used it for Naver blog.
For now, Vivoldi is the only way to use the 200 (Page Redirect) method.
