Revenue Protection Tool

Every broken affiliate link costs you money.
Find them before your visitors do.

Paste any review article URL. AffiliateAudit scans every outgoing link in real time — flagging 404s, out-of-stock pages, and dead product listings before they drain your commissions.

Scan an article for broken affiliate links

Paste the full URL of your "Best 10 Products" article or any review page below.

How it works: Your article URL is fetched via a secure CORS proxy, all outgoing links are extracted, and each is individually checked for HTTP errors and out-of-stock signals. Results update live as each link is verified. Note: Amazon and some retailers aggressively block bots — those links will be marked "Verify Manually" rather than guessed.

How AffiliateAudit Works

1

Paste Your Article URL

Drop in the URL of any review post, listicle, or product roundup. Works on any publicly accessible page.

2

We Extract Every Outgoing Link

All external links are pulled from the page — affiliate links, product pages, merchant sites, and more.

3

Each Link is Checked Live

HTTP status codes are verified and page content is scanned for "out of stock" and product unavailability signals.

4

Fix Issues Instantly

Color-coded results show exactly which links are dead, out of stock, or need manual verification. Export to CSV and fix them.

Affiliate Platforms Recognized

AffiliateAudit automatically identifies links from these platforms and highlights them in results.

Out-of-Stock Phrase Detection

Beyond just checking if a page loads, AffiliateAudit scans page content for these signals that indicate a product is no longer purchasable — even when the URL still returns a 200 OK.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't I see Amazon link status directly?

Amazon aggressively detects and blocks automated requests, often serving a CAPTCHA or redirect to the homepage. When detected, AffiliateAudit marks those links "Verify Manually" rather than reporting a false 404. We recommend clicking those links directly to confirm.

Does this work on any article URL?

Yes, as long as the page is publicly accessible (not behind a login or paywall). It works on WordPress blogs, Webflow sites, Ghost publications, and any standard HTML page.

How many links can it scan per article?

There's no hard limit, but very large pages with 200+ external links may take several minutes. For best results, scan individual articles rather than category pages.

Will this affect my site's performance?

No. AffiliateAudit fetches your article via a third-party proxy — it makes a single read request to your server, equivalent to one regular page view.

A redirect link shows as "Live" — is that correct?

Redirects (301/302) are marked in blue. Most affiliate redirects are intentional (cloaked links, tracking links). You should verify the final destination still works for the product you're recommending.

How often should I run an audit?

For high-traffic affiliate articles, weekly. For evergreen content, monthly. Product pages — especially on Amazon — can go out of stock without warning, and seasonal items are especially vulnerable.
