Why affiliate links get out of hand
Affiliate income depends on the right link being in the right place, and the system for that is usually a spreadsheet and a lot of memory.
- Links copied from five network dashboards, each with its own format
- A spreadsheet of products, codes and rates that’s months out of date
- Promo codes that expired but still sit in old posts
- The same product linked with three different tracking IDs
- Writers and assistants who can’t find the approved link
