Can I check Affiliatelinks?

Most affiliate links are special crafted links, sending a visitor to the affiliate network first to record the click for future tracking your sale. Then the visitor is redirected to the final destination., probably appending some query parameters.

Those affiliate links would show up in the reports as redirects. There is an option in the component to ignore these redirects: Domains to ignore redirects

Some networks provide clean linking. For those, the direct URL to the merchant is used and some JavaScript translates the normal link into a tracking link. Those links should work fine with the broken link checker. 

A final type of tracking is where you add a tracking parameter to the query. Like Amazon tracking links. Those should work fine as wel, just use the full link not the shortened one.

Examples

• https://www.bol.com/nl/nl/ - Normal link modified with JavaScript, should work fine.
• https://partner.bol.com/ - Tracking link with redirects: add domain (partner.bom.com) to configuration: Domains to ignore redirects
•  https://www.amazon.nl - Direct link with query parameter, should work fine.
• https://amzn.to/3Sv7CLc - Direct link with query parameters, but shortened. Will redirect add domain ( amzn.to) to configuration: Domains to ignore redirects

Some networks have some kind of WAF, those might block the checker.
