The Problem

Dead links are eating your affiliate income.

You post a video. The link works. Six months later, the product is discontinued, the program changes terms, or the partner just disappears. You never know until you check manually — and nobody checks manually.

68%

of affiliate links break within 18 months. Most creators discover them when a subscriber complains — months too late.

💀

Silent revenue drain

A broken Amazon link in a 200K-view video can cost you hundreds per month. It keeps bleeding even while you sleep.

🕐

Hundreds of videos, zero visibility

Checking affiliate links across 300 videos manually takes days. Nobody does it. Links stay broken for years.

🔄

Programs change without notice

ShareASale, CJ, Rakuten — affiliate networks restructure constantly. Your tracking IDs expire. No email, no warning.

👁️

Soft 404s fool everyone

Some dead links return HTTP 200 but show "product unavailable." Standard tools miss them. KitForge catches them.

FAQ

Common questions.

How does KitForge detect broken affiliate links?
KitForge uses a 6-layer detection engine: HTTP 404/5xx errors, soft 404 detection (content pattern analysis), expired affiliate parameter checking, broken redirect chain detection, closed affiliate program signatures, and domain expiry signals. Each check runs with rotating user agents and per-domain rate limiting to avoid false positives.
Does it work with all affiliate networks?
Yes. KitForge detects links from Amazon Associates, ShareASale, CJ Affiliate, Impact, Rakuten, ClickBank, Skimlinks, NordVPN, Audible, and many more. Revenue loss estimates are calibrated per network using real commission rates.
What happens during the weekly auto-scan?
Every Monday morning, KitForge automatically re-scans all your videos. It compares results to the previous scan and identifies links that have newly broken since last week. If new broken links are found, you receive an email alert listing the video, URL, and estimated revenue impact. Links that were already broken before aren't re-reported.
Is my YouTube data safe?
KitForge uses Google's official YouTube Data API with read-only access to your video descriptions. We never post, edit, or touch your YouTube account. Your OAuth tokens are stored encrypted. We don't sell or share any data.
What if I have more than 50 videos on the free plan?
On the free plan, KitForge scans your 50 most recent videos. You'll still get a full analysis with revenue estimates and replacement suggestions for those 50. Upgrade to Premium for unlimited video scanning.
Can I cancel Premium anytime?
Yes, completely. Cancel from your dashboard and you won't be charged again. You keep access until the end of your billing period.
