I want to talk here about a really nice and free service available for those that want an easy way to manage their affiliate links or any links/banners on their websites / emails sent out and get real time stats.

Let’s say you are using multiple affiliate programs to earn, or you have many websites where you put your affiliate links, or you just want to check the link for a banner and see which banner or placement generates the higher click through rate, in this case you would need a system that can easily help you, and the best part, for free.

ProLinkManager.com is such an online system that let’s you manage unlimited links and get your own stats besides what the affiliate programs offer you.

With ProLinkManager you can easily and dynamically change your links on all your websites. Let’s say you are having an affiliate link that you need to change to direct to a new promo / landing page, and that link would be posted on 100 web pages (on same website or a different websites)… that would be a real pain in the ass (sorry for the language). But what if you would have more links that need updated? It’s a lot of work. But with ProLinkManager you can do this in just a few steps.

Basically the idea behind this website is to put your affiliate links in the system and get a redirect URL (something like www.prolinkmanager.com/index.php_linkid=123). You can use this link on any of your websites, and when you make a change in the system for the destination URL, it will automatically redirect to your new link (in our case affiliate link). The advantages for this is that you just have to login to ProLinkManager and update the link you want there and voila… links on all pages / websites will redirect to the new destination URL; no more need to go on many web pages and change the link manually (if you get to have many pages this could take ages). All these links you can categorise in the way you want, based on the websites they are, or placements etc.

Also, you will get real time stats for each click through so you will know how your campaign is performing. More, the URL provided by ProLinkManager to use will avoid visitors to by-pass your affiliate link.

The situations for using ProLinkManager are many with their advantages. You can use this service to count the traffic you send to your affiliate partners, or you can put some of these links in your email newsletter and see how many clicks through you receive from your campaign, you can use the system to hide other links (avoid visitors’ by-pass), use it for simple redirection or to check how many times your files are downloaded.

The stats are handy: you are able to check the stats by day for each link in a really nice graphic or overall stats for a month, that you can actually export to an Excel sheet for your own records, or general overview that will show you the evolution of clicks through over the past months. This way you will see which programs tend to have a higher click rate, which could translate to you in higher possible conversions and revenues if you will just decide to push that brand stronger – a very good method of optimizing the monetization of your sites.

As you can see possibilities of use are many. Me, for example, I started using the links for a few websites. I was always curios to see where the visitors are leaving from my website, what resources they access so I can develop even more that section. Now I can see all these stats from one place. Before I was able to get such stats when logging in to the few programs I am affiliated with, so you can imagine how time wasting that was.

For more information about this service just visit ProLinkManager.com. I hope you will all find how useful this service is in comparison with some other that limit your links or that you have to pay for.
