There comes a time in every affiliate marketers when the thought of increasing the affiliate conversion rate make them to discover new trick and strategy.

Today I thought I would introduce a simple that could help you to save your business as affiliate marketers.

You must be aware that software that will easily mask your URL’s or Affiliate Links allows you to increase your profits dramatically. Today I thought to introduce an useful FREE service that could help you to save your conversion too.

Before to enter the details about this new service, let me share you which are the benefit to mask your URL in affiliate marketing:

• Benefit  n° 1 – The first reason I always use short affiliate links to redirect my affiliate products, is because once joined to affiliate network, affiliate programs provide affiliate links too long and I’m too afraid of having my commission stolen and lose up to 50% of affiliate commission.
• Benefit n° 2 – I’m annoyed by the the ugliness of affiliate URL’s and I also believe that when my readers visit my site and click on affiliate link, the first thing that they may get is own be annoyed by the long affiliate URL. Shortening service allows you to get more click on your links by using short links, not long affiliate links.

What Is LinkShiftr?

URL shorteners is become very popular on social media like Twitter and Facebook, due its the character count restrictions. I have saw many of these URL shortening services out there, and some of them that offer some statistics and metrics, but LinkShiftr bring the its service at the next level.

Today I want to tell you more about this service and some of the features that set LinkShiftr apart from the competition.

So I highly reccomend to read this post at all affiliate and Internet marketers out there.

According to the site, LinkShiftr includes is a comprehensive service which includes some of the best elements of URL shorteners like bit.ly and combines them with the higher-end capabilities of a service like Tracking202.

This service was created to help affiliates make better campaigns in less time.” Among the key features included in LinkShiftr are easy link rotation, split test optimization, cloaked links, variable passing, and conversion tracking across platforms.

How to Promote Your Affiliate Products For Free With LinkShiftr

Once you’ve registered to LinkShiftr aalyou have to do is “shifting” your URLs directly from your control panel.

I will make a clear example with the latest affiliate ads guide by Johnatan Volk. First to all I grab the affiliate from Clickbank.

Go on Clickbank, then marketplace. Now, type the affiliate product you wish to promote.

For instance I’ll type “Facebook Ads Guide Johnatan Volk”. Once got the result, then click on the “promote” button. A little window will open where you must to type your Account Nickname. Now, click on “create” button, you will get an affiliate link like this:

“http://f2dc7akb-2sfjae4nxnf6oez3o.hop.clickbank.net/”

Now Go on LinkShiftr and enter the URL to shift.

One of the best features of LinkShiftr is the ability to change the destination of a shortened URL after it has already been set.

Imagine the situation: You have used an affiliate link which you have already posted in multiple webpages for a long time but, at an certain point, the affiliate offer expires, and you have a lot of pages where the link si broke.

Well, Linkshift allows you to change all your affiliate URL without change the link in each webpage at time.

Additional Options

More still, in addition to setting “vanity” shortened URLs, you can have that single URL point toward multiple destinations on a weighted random basis.

If I add three URL, each of them are able to redirect my visitors to my affiliate site. Also, I can configure the relative “weight” of the destinations, for instance I can add 5/10 visitors go to the first, 2/10 go to the second and 3/10 go to the third, and so on.

Split Tests

Split test is an important factor that any affiliate marketers should to consider. Most marketers know the method of A/B split testing to determine which elements on a page are performing well, and which are not.

For instance, one might typically test two different landing page. One would then outperform the other, and you would know which is the top-performing page.

The traffic control center of LinkShiftr can help you with that too. It offers multiple conversion tracking capabilities, including unsecure pixel, secure pixel and third-party pixel. These tracking pixels are placed on your conversion page, whatever that may be.

When combined with the stats afforded by the multiple destination shortened URL above, you can gain quite a bit of information about which offers perform the best, which landing pages are most popular, and so on.

Free and Paid Subscription

The best thing of this service is that is FREE to use. However there are a paid subscription as well.

If you use the free “basic” account, you are offered core link redirection, destination URL rotation, click tracking, variable passing, location tracking, destination URL weighting. This do not costs you a cent so I reccomend to sign up right now.

As I said first, there’s the chance to choose for a paid “pro” account. This does everything that the basic account can do, but it also provides for conversion tracking and unlimited destination URLs. The cost of a pro account is $9.99 per month.

Make Money With LinkShiftr

Through LinkShiftr you can make money too. They have an affiliate program that pay $1 for free account signups and $3 for pro accounts. However, I’ve noticed that when I try my signup link, it sends me to a blank page. I wonder if this is getting ironed out during the current “beta” phase of LinkShiftr.

Conclusion

If you wish using LinkShiftr for URL shortening and redirection purposes, the FREE account will be  definitely the way to go . Weighting and the destination URL rotation are particularly valuable. If you are serious about affiliate marketing the pro account will be the right choice because you’ll get conversion tracking capability.
