Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Amazon Link Engine

Yes! Geniuslink is safe to use with the Amazon Associate program, and has been trusted by thousands of Amazon associates for years. Just be sure to follow the program guidelines and do not use your links to deceive your visitors. Note that you can also enable our "on-click" method in the plugin advanced settings, which preserves your raw Amazon links until the moment they are clicked. Some users prefer this method because the Amazon Associates Program has additional guidelines for using "short links", and by using this option your links remain in their original form.

Yes. By default, the ALE will honor any existing Associates IDs that are already added to the link. This will ensure that you still earn the affiliate commissions you deserve on your existing affiliate links within your site. In addition, this is great for blogs that have multiple editors with multiple Amazon Associates IDs to keep track of clicks, commissions, etc. per editor. By selecting this option the ALE will honor any existing Associates IDs already within links on the site, ensuring those editors continue to get the credit they deserve for helping you earn those affiliate commissions. If you would like to toggle this on or off, simply uncheck the “Honor Existing Associate IDs” checkbox in the Amazon Link Engine settings under "Advanced Settings".

iTunes Link Engine: The Amazon Link Engine is fully compatible with the iTunes Link Engine plugin. Skimlinks: The Amazon Link Engine plugin works perfectly with Skimlinks. VigLink: The VigLink plugin, however, will overwrite the ALE and not allow your links to be globalized if it has already been installed. If you are currently using this plugin, you simply need to deactivate it from your Wordpress site, download and activate the Amazon Link Engine plugin, and then reactivate the Viglink plugin. Once this is done, the plugins will work seamlessly together. Amazon Publisher Studio: The Amazon Publisher Studio tool is unfortunately not compatible with this version of the ALE plugin.
