Stop Using A Link Shortener (like bit.ly and tinyurl) - Learn Why Here!

[@affiliatemarketingdude]

What link shortener did you use before watching this video?

[@gaelpiratelife1941]

I use rebrandly a lot because it's possible to change destination link. I also use my own wordpress shortener. Thanks for the keyword tips 😃

[@SamiFab]

I either use a short redirected link a target site that I own (if it is a long term project) or I use a WordPress Plugin that I created, on a hub site.

[@bin9064]

I am using Bitly. *KZbin Video Suggestion:* Put some Background Music dude so that your audience wouldn't get bored. ^_^ I like your Video by the way. Full of information. Thank you Dude!

[@SamiFab]

​@@bin9064 - sorry friend. My thinking is different: if I want to learn something, I must concentrate on the content. If the lesson/tip/guide is presented in a boring way, music won't fix it. And this gentleman's presentation style, tone, visual aids, creativity and enthusiasm make his videos very interesting as well as very informative. No music needed, in my view.

[@itzbruh]

I never use link shorteners 🙂

[@SamiFab]

Dude - your videos are smooth, easy to follow and value packed. You make it look easy ... which means, behind the scenes you put in an awful lot of thought and effort to create these valuable tips. THANK YOU.

[@affiliatemarketingdude]

lol just a side effect of doing this stuff for 21 years :) and thank you!

[@vladimirsvinogradovs291]

Yes I agree to reap a like for the work

[@kutipaw]

Marcus is one of the few honest marketer on youtube. Simply the best.

[@kevingarris198]

Marcus, Miles Beckler and Mick Meaney are my favorites.

[@ghosthuntingathome9985]

Don't ever stop what you're doing. I have learned so much from you.. I hope one day I can be just like you. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge. God bless you.

[@joelkusgan5266]

Good video Url shortener issues depends on what kind of website you are running. Yes its bad for websites that needs traffic but websites that doesn't need traffic have no issue on this. Changing url in your website source code is very easy for us progammers if you know how to dynamically change your url values.

[@XspeedXracerX]

Thank you, Marcus --- Affiliate Marketing Dude! I'm going to be very honest and admit that I'm one of the 98% that's unsuccessful with A.M. However, out of all those out there on KZbin, I believe that you are the best! My lack of success is my own fault. My excuse, I have a major disability that occupies most of my time and energy --- "A job". Maybe, if I find myself unemployed at some point, I'll find the time to do something with all of the knowledge I've learned... LOL. Keep up the great work, sir!

[@YourpersonalworkforceOrg]

Because it's all scam. Instead of AM learn some digital marketing and outsource to experts. You can get monthly retainers that will make your life better and you actually do something useful. I am not saying all AM is spam, but only about 5% people make real money to live on.

[@tzarg]

may I ask, what's AM? i've never heard that before (except when you're talking about time)

[@TheFreedomProvider]

@@tzarg AM is Affiliate Marketing. The concept is simple - promote other people's products by being an affiliate. When someone buys off your link you earn a commission.

[@unmiss-com]

All shorteners have their advantages and disadvantages. I wanted to create my tool as well but killed the efforts because of other priorities.

[@vladimirsvinogradovs291]

The material is beautifully laid out. In principle, everything is clearly laid out on the shelves. Good job

[@digitalincometactics9858]

I will start owning my shortened links! Thanks Marcus.

[@JC02official]

I recommend not bothering with the shortened links unless you want a virus or your computer

[@investfoxy]

But on the contrast, Don't they serve as backlinks for our website?

[@Faraniainarasoanjanahary]

the video is very clear...thanks a lot

[@Love-Eat-Live]

Great info! Thank you! Your link says it's not secure with a warning sign. Could you post another link that is secure for your plugin?

[@lemonadesoutoflemons]

I think I have to watch this video again bcos I hardly understand

[@bestcoolmedia]

Tinny affiliate plugin is this still available?

[@tzarg]

what do you mean "you don't own it"? so when making these links the link it redirects to now belongs to them? or no? if no then I don't really see the problem

[@Shannon_Vlogs]

I prefer using my own website for redirects- I just feel that it looks more professional

[@affiliatemarketingdude]

you've just been listening to me too long ;) lol

[@winninglifeyo]

Redirects are bad for Amazon tho right?

[@gaelpiratelife1941]

@@winninglifeyo not as long as you mention that is an affiliate link

[@the84magi]

Use the Link Shortner Company's domain name to find low KD words to rank for. Brilliant

[@PhilippeVanLoo]

Great great advice !!! 🙌 Thank you Marcus ! 🙂

[@dontgettakenforaride]

Do you not offer the short url plugin anymore? I filled in my name and email and get page to download the toolbar. But nothing else.

[@ahkeem0]

What if I just have a domain but dnt have a active WordPress website yet is thete still something I can use?

[@rfigley]

IThis is off topic but given your affiliate experience.....'ve been attempting a payoneer account and it keeps saying my address verification isn't working.Its my mailing address which is a box, but as I'm renting temporarily, the my preferrred methd.

[@MeusVideosNoTubo]

Shorts links are not for use professional. This is the point.

[@asiialee6979]

Do you get paid per click on your website? because bitly pays per click just curious and your video is great forget them haters

[@BestURLShortenerBioPageQRCode]

Thank you for sharing this much of information.

[@jamesrossmusic6013]

[@themunchielaunchpad6526]

Hi Dude where can I get your Affiliate Marketing Dude Tracker for my WP website?

[@alexpulido2431]

[@mr.t4980]

But i just wanna rickroll people what about that?

[@robertestrada2651]

Great Content Like always...!! Thxs in advanced!

[@tallipowliusa1918]

[@CRAZYOJ88]

This is just terrible stop calling all those shorteners bad.

[@sagarchavan973]

Great thank you Marcus .. ❤️ I have registered a domain name that contains trademark word in it. Will it create a problem for me in future

[@affiliatemarketingdude]

yes that could be an issue.

[@FoodieLouie]

What is the brand of your mic?

[@TheplugBandit]

Great content!

[@masoomatamim2563]

Hey Marcus - My wordpress dashboard or settings doesn't have a Marketing Tracker option (min 9:02). Is that something I would have to add somehow? Also, I don't have an ahrefs account. Is there a different option if I am just getting started and am not ready to commit to ahrefs? Thanks in advance for your input ;)

[@HowTo5min-co3ni]

affiliate marketing dude tracker does not show up as a plug-in in WordPress. why?

[@affiliatemarketingdude]

[@Love-Eat-Live]

I was able to find another video that had the correct webpage to purchase your plugin. I did and got a confirmation email that I made the purchase, BUT I do NOT see where I can download the plugin. I've been waiting for over a week and emailed you regards to this. Could you please send me the link? I would love to get started with shorting my URLs under my website. THank you!

[@sbyogamix8579]

very helpful! thanks!! :-)

[@gwg12345]

The link shortener not provided due to all the site links redirect to an unrelated offer. Several have mentioned this and first you say its a glitch which is not true. Then you say oh its on the thankyou page and also not true. Very deceptive and a big time waster... bad stuff...

[@affiliatemarketingdude]

everything is on the blog after you opt in.

[@jaynarayan6]

Waw awesome

[@duaneborgaes9223]

Just about thought I had everything figured out. And dude's like, "not so fast."
