Getting Started with Linkiful

Welcome to Linkiful! Whether you're a seasoned affiliate marketer or just starting out, this comprehensive guide will help you master the art of creating clean, professional Amazon affiliate links that perform better and build trust with your audience.

What is Linkiful?

Linkiful is a powerful, user-friendly tool designed specifically for Amazon Associates and affiliate marketers. Our platform automatically cleans and optimizes your Amazon affiliate links by removing unnecessary tracking parameters while preserving your essential affiliate tag. The result? Shorter, cleaner, more professional links that maintain full functionality and improve your conversion rates.

Why Clean Your Affiliate Links?

Amazon affiliate links straight from the Associates dashboard can be incredibly long and messy. A typical link might look like this:
