The Smart URL Shortener for Affiliate Marketers
ShortlyLink turns long affiliate links into short, branded, trackable ones — then tracks every click, detects bots, A/B tests destinations, and reports conversions and revenue in real time.
What is ShortlyLink?
ShortlyLink is a smart URL shortener and link-management platform built for affiliate marketers. It turns long affiliate and campaign URLs into short, branded, trackable links and adds real-time click analytics, geo and A/B redirect targeting, conversion and revenue tracking, bot and fraud protection, styled QR codes, and link-in-bio pages — so you can attribute revenue, not just count clicks.

What is ShortlyLink?
+
ShortlyLink is a smart URL shortener and link-management platform built for affiliate marketers. It turns long affiliate and campaign URLs into short, branded, trackable links and adds real-time click analytics, geo and A/B redirect targeting, conversion and revenue tracking, bot and fraud protection, styled QR codes, and link-in-bio pages.
Is ShortlyLink free to use?
+
Yes. ShortlyLink is currently in beta with a free plan and a limited number of spots, and you can create your first tracked short link in under a minute without a credit card.
Who is ShortlyLink for?
+
ShortlyLink is designed for affiliate marketers, media buyers, agencies, and creators who need accurate attribution on every click — including conversion tracking, bot filtering, and campaign-level reporting — rather than just a plain link shortener.
How does ShortlyLink track conversions?
+
ShortlyLink tracks conversions two ways: server-to-server postback URLs that affiliate networks call with a click ID, amount, and status, and a pixel you place on your own thank-you page. Each redirect appends a click ID, an expiry, and an HMAC signature to your destination; conversions are validated against that signature (valid for 24 hours) and deduplicated by click ID, so forged or double-counted conversions are rejected. Results appear in a revenue dashboard with confirmed, pending, and rejected states.
Can one short link send visitors to different destinations?
+
Yes. A single ShortlyLink short link resolves through a priority chain: geo rules by country, then weighted URL rotation, then an A/B test, then a mobile deep link into your iOS or Android app, and finally the default destination URL. Each stage only runs if an earlier one has not already chosen a destination, so weighted rotation and A/B testing are mutually exclusive on the same link.
