What is affiliate link monetisation?

Affiliate link monetisation ensures that every product link on your site earns commission when readers click through and buy. Without proper tracking, publishers leave significant revenue on the table — broken links, missing affiliate parameters, and unmonetised retailers all represent lost income.

Squirrel automates this entire process. Our tools scan your pages for retailer links, apply proper affiliate tracking from your connected accounts, and fill gaps through the Squirrel Marketplace where you don't yet have direct relationships.

  1. Install a single code snippet Add one line of JavaScript to your site. It loads asynchronously with zero impact on page speed.
  2. Connect your affiliate accounts Link your existing network accounts — Awin, CJ, Rakuten, Impact, Amazon Associates, and more. Your accounts always take priority.
  3. Automatic monetisation begins Squirrel finds every retailer link on your pages, applies tracking, fixes broken links, and fills gaps through Marketplace. Revenue flows immediately.
  4. Track performance in one dashboard See which pages, authors, and retailers drive the most revenue — across all your networks in a single unified view.

Common affiliate link problems Squirrel solves

Broken affiliate links

When retailers change networks or update their URLs, existing links break silently. Squirrel detects and repairs these automatically so you never lose commission to link rot.

Unmonetised retailer links

Editorial teams link to products without checking affiliate coverage. Squirrel ensures every retailer link has proper tracking — using your account or Marketplace as a fallback.

Manual link management at scale

Managing affiliate links across thousands of articles is unsustainable manually. Squirrel automates the entire process site-wide from a single code snippet.

Frequently asked questions

What is affiliate link monetisation?

Affiliate link monetisation is the process of converting product links on your site into tracked affiliate links that earn commission when readers click through and make a purchase. Tools like Squirrel Links automate this process across your entire site.
