Affiliate marketing is a rapidly evolving field, and professionals (or not so professionals) are always looking for tools that offer them a better quality service at a better price, the essence of the free market, right?
AffiliTest has been a popular option for checking affiliate links, but what alternatives exist in 2024?
AffiliTest: A Review
Affilitest is a unique tool that was launched on the market several years ago, whose main use is to reveal the redirections that an affiliate link follows from the moment you click on the link until you reach the destination page, usually an app in the Google Play Store or Apple Store, but perhaps also the landing page of a product, if it is an offer or product for desktop.
Suppose that a studio that creates mobile applications has just launched its new game for Android and has just uploaded its App to the Google Play Store. This app development studio needs to promote its new application, so it decides to join an affiliate network that we will call Network A. Now Network A has among its offers the new app for Android and any of the affiliates of Network A can take the affiliate link of the new App and promote it. But to generate even more traffic, Network A partners with Network B to access all of their affiliates for a small percentage of the commission.
If you are an affiliate of Network B, you can take the link to the new App, but you will receive a lower commission if you convert the offer than if you were an affiliate of Network A.
In the case of the example I describe, the situation is not so bad, because you are just one redirect (or hop) away from the network that has the advertiser “directly”. But in many lower-ranking affiliate networks, redirects or hops before reaching the network that has the direct advertiser can be very numerous.
That is the importance of tools like Affilitest. They allow you to discover Networks that are closer to the original advertiser (that is, with fewer redirects) and in this way earn higher commissions, because you get the intermediary networks out of the way.
Emerging Alternatives
In 2024, several platforms have emerged as strong competitors, offering similar or even expanded services compared to AffiliTest:
- LinksTest.com: This practically new tool offers detailed monitoring of the redirects of any affiliate link. It offers the same features as Affilitest but at 50% of the price.
- Affbank: With a vast library of affiliate offers and an ad spy tool, Affbank has positioned itself as a one-stop alternative for affiliate marketers.
- OfferVault: This offer aggregator is known for its extensive database and search tools that make it easy to select the best offers to promote.
While Affbank and OfferVault offer databases with offers and affiliate networks, at the time of last review they do not offer a redirect discovery tool as effective as Affilitest or LinksTests.
LinksTest the best alternative to Affilitest
LinksTest.com offers the same features as Affilitest but at a much better price.
To begin, the link testing interface is very intuitive.
- You type or paste your Affiliate Link
- Select the Platform: Android, iOS, Mac, Windows
- Depending on the Platform you choose the versions dropdown will be populated with the versions available for that Platform
- Select the country target for the offer
- Just hit Test
In an example with a link from Hang My Ads mobile affiliate network as input, you will see an output similar to this:
LinksTest also offers a very useful API to test multiple affiliate links simultaneously and get the results programmatically. The documentation is clear and simple and is found within the Admin section once you register for free.
In conclusion, LinksTest stands out as a highly valuable tool for testing multiple affiliate links simultaneously and retrieving the results programmatically through its API. The clear and user-friendly documentation provided within the Admin section ensures a seamless experience for users. When compared to Affilitest, it becomes evident that LinksTest excels in terms of cutting-edge technology and cost-effectiveness. For those seeking a reliable and efficient solution, LinksTest emerges as the obvious choice.
Thank you so much for reading this far.
Until next time!!
