Do affiliate and product links become
harder to manage as they grow?
As your products and content grow, so does the number of URLs you need to share. Long URLs make it harder to identify each product link and keep track of where every link is being used.
Long, complex affiliate URLs
Product URLs can become lengthy when they include affiliate IDs and multiple tracking parameters, making them inconvenient to share.
Hard to identify products and content
As affiliate links accumulate, the URL alone may not make it clear which product or piece of content each link belongs to.
Links scattered across channels
As you share links across blogs, social media, videos, email, and more, keeping track of where each one is used becomes increasingly important.
Hard to compare link response
Even for the same product, separate links can help you review response by content and placement.
What is an affiliate marketing link?
An affiliate marketing link is a URL used in blogs, social media, videos, newsletters, and other content to introduce a product or service and direct visitors to its page.
Links provided by affiliate platforms may include product details, affiliate identifiers, and other parameters, which can make the URL long and complex.
With Vivoldi, you can shorten the complete Destination URL containing affiliate information, organize links by product and content, and review clicks and available traffic information.

Keep your affiliate data intact and shorten only the link you share
Add the complete URL containing your affiliate ID and existing tracking parameters as the Destination URL. When someone clicks the short link, they’ll be redirected to the original URL you registered. To preserve your affiliate data, enter the full URL including all existing parameters.
When adding a Destination URL, use the complete address with all existing affiliate parameters.

Don’t wait for affiliate reports—check today’s link response first
Actual affiliate results such as purchases and commissions need to be reviewed on your affiliate platform, but Vivoldi lets you see link clicks and available traffic data first.
Quickly check whether the content you shared today is getting a response, then use those insights to guide what you publish next.
Vivoldi reports link clicks. Actual orders and commissions should be checked in each affiliate platform’s reports, and the numbers may not match because each platform uses its own attribution and reporting rules.
