Hi Team, I like the UI and plug-in, but as an old user of ThirstyAffiliates, I see a lot of room for improvement. I bought the lifetime access, so I write this review and hope you will keep improving the plug-in. Please focus on usability, the UI is good enough as is. The most annoying thing that occured when switching from TA to BetterLinks is that all the affiliate-links I inserted on my 2 year old website, with the TA plug-in dissapeared. I had to be very quick with the automatic keyword linking function, so I had affiliate-links on my website again and so I wouldn't lose any revenue. Please fix: - Auto-Link Keywords inside Headings - I have this unchecked, but it still links inside headings. - If you Auto-Link 'Pensioenbeleggen bij DEGIRO' and 'DEGIRO' to 2 different affiliate-links, 'Pensioenbeleggen bij' is linking to the first, and 'DEGIRO' is linking to the second link. This shouldn't be like this. - I feel like not all the 'broken-links' are correct, most of them work. Please add: - In WordPress: new > add > affiliate link. - Analytics on categories If I come across more, I will gladly let you know. Edit: 4/5 now, because they are very helpfull. Still lots to gain tho! Keep improving. 🙂

I have been using this plugin for a long time. I like how clean and simple its UI is, which makes it easier to create and manage affiliate links. In addition, I found the support team very helpful as they quickly address the issue whenever I reach out to them. Thank you BetterLinks team!

Really appreciate the quick, friendly and competent support. The plugin solved an issue so easily after many hours of trying other solutions.

Switched from Pretty Links Pro to Better Links Pro and there was some trouble importing all the links from Pretty Links, but the support was great and after a couple of days they had fixed it all! Also, the Pro version gives me the possibility to add missing links to alot of keywords. That saves me many work hours. The only thing I'm missing is the possibility to get more in depth statistics, but that will hopefully get better in the future.
