Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Royal Links – Affiliate Link Cloaking, Shortener & Tracker
Royal Links gives you every feature for free. Geo-targeting, A/B split testing, QR codes, automatic keyword linking, product displays, device-based redirects, link scheduling — all included at no cost. There is no premium tier and no upsell.
Yes. Go to Royal Links > Tools and use the Migration Wizard. It imports your links, categories, and click history from the most common affiliate link plugins in one click. Your existing short URLs and redirects will keep working.
Yes. Configure country-based redirect rules on any link at no cost. When a visitor clicks that link, their country is detected and they are redirected to the appropriate destination. No API key needed, no usage limits.
Yes. Amazon's terms require that affiliate links are not cloaked (the destination must be visible). Royal Links supports uncloaked redirects — just set the redirect type and Amazon links will work within their guidelines. You can also use the nofollow attribute for compliance.
Royal Links supports 301 (permanent), 302 (temporary), and 307 (temporary, preserves method) redirects. On top of that, you can layer device-based redirects, geo-targeting redirects, and time-based redirects that automatically switch destinations on a schedule.
No. Royal Links is the full version. Every feature is included and there is no paid upgrade. We built this as a completely free plugin.
Define keywords and associate them with your links. Royal Links automatically scans your post and page content and turns matching keywords into linked text pointing to the destinations you configured. You control the maximum number of links per keyword, which post types to scan, and which content areas to target.
Your links, analytics, and settings are stored entirely in your own WordPress database. The only external service Royal Links contacts is ip-api.com, and only when you have configured geo-targeting rules on a specific link. If you don't use geo-targeting, no external requests are made. See the External Services section for full details.
Link cloaking replaces long, ugly affiliate URLs with clean, branded short links on your own domain (e.g., yoursite.com/go/product-name instead of affiliate-network.com/ref?id=12345&tracking=abc). This makes links more trustworthy to visitors, easier to share, and protects your affiliate commissions from being stripped. Royal Links handles all of this automatically with 301, 302, or 307 redirects.
Install Royal Links and create a new link with your affiliate URL as the destination. Royal Links automatically tracks every click with detailed analytics — browser, device, operating system, country, referrer, and timestamp. View performance in the analytics dashboard with charts, top-performing links, and referrer breakdowns. You can also track QR code scans separately.
