Affiliate link checker with a verdict, not a guess

Before traffic goes out, open the offer link the way the audience will: from their country, carrier and device, in a real browser. Say where it should land and get a one-word verdict with the evidence behind it.

optional, enables the verdict

App package, Apple store id, store URL or landing-page domain. Without it the result is unverified.

Direct tests run from our own server: no country, city or carrier targeting.

Standard and Full add screenshots of every page after the click, and a video. Sign up or sign in to enable these.

Free check: the redirect chain, final URL and verdict. Screenshots, batches and the API come with an account.

What breaks between the tracking link and the offer

An affiliate link passes through a tracker, often a smartlink, sometimes a pre-lander, before it reaches the offer. Every hop can go wrong for one audience and not another: a geo rule that sends the wrong country to a fallback, a device split that opens the Play Store for iPhone users, a carrier check that fails on Wi-Fi, a paused offer that redirects to a generic page. The tracker still counts the click. Nothing converts.

OfferProbe runs the link through the same path with the same targeting and tells you what happened. Set the expectation, an app package name, a store id or a landing domain, and the result says working, wrong destination, no destination or broken. When our proxy or infrastructure fails instead of the link, the test is inconclusive and not billed.

How it works

  1. 01

    Paste the offer or tracking link

    The link your ads would send traffic to, including the tracker parameters you use.

  2. 02

    Match the offer’s targeting

    Country and, where the offer is restricted, state, city, carrier or connection type; the device, OS version and browser it accepts.

  3. 03

    Name the destination

    An app package, a store id or a landing domain. The verdict is measured against it.

  4. 04

    Act on the verdict

    Working: send traffic. Wrong destination or broken: send the chain to the advertiser.

What you get

One-word verdict
Working, wrong destination, no destination or broken, judged against the destination you named.
The hop list to send the advertiser
Every redirect with its status code, ending on the final URL, so “it works on our side” has an answer.
Proof of where it was tested from
The exit IP, its country and carrier, and the exact device fingerprint used.
Screenshots, batches and webhooks
With an account: a screenshot of the landing page, batches of 100 links, a webhook when each finishes and the same API behind this page.

What people check with it

Approve offers before a campaign

Test each offer from every geo and device in the media plan and only launch the ones that reach the store.

Keep an eye on running offers

Re-test on your own schedule over the API and get a webhook when each result is in.

Settle disputes with evidence

A wrong destination on iOS from the US, with the chain and screenshot attached, is a ticket the advertiser can act on.

Questions

How is this different from a broken link checker?

A broken link checker crawls a site for 404s. An affiliate link checker follows one tracking link through its redirects to the offer and judges whether the right audience reaches the right page. The same link can be fine on desktop from one country and broken on mobile from another.

Which verdicts can a test give?

Working, wrong destination, no destination or broken, plus unverified when no destination was named to judge against and inconclusive when our side failed. Inconclusive and cancelled tests are never billed.

Can I test CPA, CPI and smartlink offers?

Yes. Any link a browser can open: tracker links, smartlinks, rotators and short links. App-install offers end on the store page or the deep link, which the verdict checks against the package name or store id you provide.

How does the free check differ from a paid test?

The free check runs the fast mode: chain, final URL and verdict, from a real browser and exit, with the same country, carrier and device targeting. An account adds screenshots and recordings, skip-visits for cloaked landers, batches and the API.

Does it work for links behind a cloaker?

Yes, that is what skip-visits and fresh fingerprints are for. The cloaking checker page explains how.
