The Amazon Link Checker helps you verify that links are tracking sales. If you receive an unexpected "invalid" result, review this troubleshooting checklist.
Troubleshooting Steps
- Check URLs: Ensure the destination link is the full Amazon URL and that your Associate tag matches your profile exactly.
- Discontinued Listings: Verify the product is still active on Amazon. If a product is out of stock or removed, the Link Checker returns an error.
- Redirect chains: Link shorteners can break the checking sequence. Spreadr creates compliant direct links to avoid this issue.
Known Checker Latency
Occasionally, the Link Checker tool experiences latency issues. Retrying the check after a brief moment usually clears transient errors. You can watch a demonstration in this screen recording demonstration.
