    don’t know why they named it gambling, this can be used for other types of websites. I use it for my amazon aff. website and its all good

    would recomend for starters, but you might need a denser tool when ur site grows.

    Although it does the same thing as a 404 checker, I use it because of the slack integration 🙂

    I tried it because someone from an affiliate forum recommended it. Now i use it everytime I start a new affiliate website because it’s easy to install and it has the slack integration (that we use on our team). I recommend it

    Simple and effective. It just tells you when your links aren’t working

    Solid choice if your just starting in the niche. It says gambling on the title, but it can be used for any affiliate website

    Saved me a couple of bucks already. Sometimes the links get broken for no reason and you end up losing money. It basically alerts you when it happens. Easy to set up

    It does its job, verifies your affiliate links and it lets you know if they’re broken.
