If all your links are in good health or if you haven't deployed any links in your ad space yet, you will see the following message under the tool description: "Now all your links work correctly."

If there are any problems with the links, you will see a table with a link of broken links in all your ad spaces. The table shows what affiliate program these links are associated with; why they stopped working; and how many times users clicked on them.

The table contains the following columns:

  • Ad space: your ad space where the broken link is located.
  • Referrer of click: the page on which the user clicked on the broken link. This parameter is not always recorded. For instance, it's not recorded if the user moved to the page from bookmarks or clicked on an animated or interactive banner.
  • Affiliate link: the broken link on which the user clicked.
  • Program: the affiliate program for which the link was created.
  • Date: the first moment of the click when the link stopped working normally.
  • Error: the reason why the link stopped working right. There are five possible reasons that are described in the table below.
