    Hi,
    If you are using multiple affiliate links on your site/s you know they break from time to time.

    I would appreciate your help in beta testing my online service that will alert you when ever your affiliate link break. It can follow all redirects and check the final destination URL and even update you if it will change.

    Please contact me if this may interest you.

    How would this service work.

    Personally, I would rather have software so I could mange this myself as I am reluctant to turn my affiliate links over to anyone

    All you need to do is to provide your affiliate links just like you post them on your site (so you don't give away anything that it's not already public) and the system will constantly check them and make sure they are valid.

    On my blog, if there is an affiliate program(that is not through cj or something that requires me to "get approved") i will place an affiliate link.
    I don't see a problem with this as I write whatever I want about the service or product anyways.

    Sounds like a feasible online service. Have you tested it on your own blog to see if it works? Or on any friends or relatives blog to see if it works? Do you have a facebook page/group that you can reach out and test with members there too?

    I have been testing it myself and also a few of my friends.
    It's not working on a specific blog or domain, you just add the link/s you like to check and I monitor them.

    The site is up with registration and admin but I'm looking to expend the test (I test each link more the 100 times a day) for more users with different kinds of affiliate links and errors :)
