davenelsonQ: Getting started questions
I have a bunch of affiliate links already on my website. Can LinkCentral discover these and start tracking them? Is the only way to track an affiliate link by manually filling out the Add New Link section?
I sent a support email trying to sync my AppSumo purchase with the WordPress extension so functionality like checking for broken links is enabled. Hoping to hear back on that front unless answering here is easier.
Overall, looks like a powerful, feature rich product. Just hoping this is largely automated over a lot of manual work to track links.
Thank you.

Regarding affiliate links: currently, LinkCentral doesn’t automatically scan your website for existing links. To start tracking, you’ll need to add your links into LinkCentral first. There are several ways to do this:
- Add them manually via Add New Link
- Import a CSV file with your links
- Import directly from ThirstyAffiliates or Pretty Links (if you’ve used those before)
- Use the REST API for bulk or automated imports
This way, once your links are in LinkCentral, all the tracking and management features (including the Broken Links Checker) will work seamlessly.
I hope this helps!
