Part 01 · Overview

Welcome

What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first

1.4

GPA, above 0 of the 89 other affiliate and referral tools we grade

LinkConnector is a cost-per-sale affiliate network where merchants run programs and affiliates apply to promote them. Merchants choose a self-managed, co-managed or fully managed account, and pay a network access fee plus a share of the commissions they pay affiliates.

To get you started, here are 8 things to know about LinkConnector, taken from its own pages and our grades.

You set up accounts and programs before it does anything, so there is a learning curve.
From our grade for ease of use

  4. 4

    Affiliate network access

    Merchants reach LinkConnector's vetted affiliates and can email them directly or recruit through the in-network tools.

  5. 5

    Fraud and brand controls

    A FraudFREE Promise and a SourceChecker tool restrict which sites may display a merchant's brand.

  6. 6

    Coupon attribution

    Commission can be attributed by private coupon codes alone, with no click or cookie tracking, and unapproved codes can be blocked.

    That is against the other affiliate and referral tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.

  8. 8

    Keep it

    To replace LinkConnector you would be making payouts to partners in many countries, with their tax forms. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

Who LinkConnector is for

  • Fits if you are a merchant who wants a US affiliate network with payment handling
  • Works for brands that want fraud and coupon controls

Who it is not for

  • Pricey if your commissions are large, since 20% to 25% is taken on top of the fee
  • Watch out: both priced tiers have a monthly minimum, 'as low as' $200 and $500
  • Skip it if you want managed service, because Fully Managed is by invitation and unpriced
  • Tight if you want its own tools, which sit under Co-Managed

Good to know

Good for

  • Merchants with an in-house or outsourced affiliate manager
  • Brands that want coupon and brand-control rules enforced in the network

  • Both priced tiers carry a monthly minimum, stated as 'as low as' $200 and $500.
  • Fully Managed accounts are by invitation only and the page gives no price.

Keep it, or make your own?

Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.

Keep it

To replace LinkConnector you would be making payouts to partners in many countries, with their tax forms. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 87 of the 89 other affiliate and referral tools grade higher.

What you could make

  • Reports: an app builder makes this well.

What you could not

  • Payouts to partners in many countries, with their tax forms.
  • Every click and sale traced back to the right partner.

What this rests on. LinkConnector’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
