One of my most powerful marketing tools

5.0 6 years ago

Comments: A +++ brand and one of my most favorite tools out there. CSR and Geniuslink have become an important partner in marketing for myself and for my clients.

Pros:

I have customers who buy my books (and client books) all over the world and GeniusLInk is an incredible resource to help them get to the proper store. I love the landing page as it really makes my links shine. It's also my most important tool for finding out what promotions and links are bringing in the most bang for the buck.

Cons:

Slightly complicated to set up but CSR and the team went above and beyond to get me sorted.

A Must-Have For International Affiliate Marketing & Beyond

5.0 6 years ago

Comments: Geniuslink has been instrumental in expanding my affiliate marketing to the international level. As a YouTube creator who often discusses and reviews tech products, I have an audience that extends far beyond the USA. I am now able to monetize the views and clicks I receive in other countries with just one URL link - while also using my own vanity URL - something I would most certainly not be able to do without Geniuslink. With multiple pricing options for affiliate marketers large and small, Geniuslink is a service I recommend to anybody looking at expanding their online affiliate marketing efforts to a global audience!

Pros:

Geniuslinks provides a quick, easy-to-use, and intuitive way for me to forward viewers to a specific web page based on their current country location - all from one vanity URL. This is incredibly helpful in monetizing my views and clicks outside of the US while only having to use one URL link that looks clean, easy to understand, and click-worthy.

Cons:

Sometimes I feel as though Geniuslink's prices are slightly higher than they should be. Having said that, however, Geniuslink continues to implement additional features that I find very helpful to my international affiliate marketing efforts. As such, I can understand the sometimes costly plans for Geniuslink's service and I can clearly see the value in investing in their service.

We Love Geniuslink

5.0 6 years ago

Comments: As Faveable grew, we started receiving a lot of emails from our international readers. They wanted help finding our product recommendations in their country. Geniuslink elegantly solved this problem for us. Their solution was installed quickly and easily. And the redirects are so accurate that the email requests completely stopped after it was implemented. In addition, the guidance of the Geniuslink team has been invaluable to us over the years. Because they helped make our international customers very happy, we become big fans of the company.

Pros:

It's easy to install and it provides benefits right away. Also the Geniuslink support team is fantastic, if you ever have any questions.

Cons:

Custom installations are a little trickier. But that is inherent in the custom installation process.

A Must Have For Marketers

5.0 6 years ago

Comments: Based on ROI along it's a no brainer. They literally find me money every month. Furthermore, they might be the most responsive company I've ever done business with. Tech support and management are equally accessible which is a rarity today.

Pros:

1. Couldn't be easier to use. (I'm "technologically challenged" so if I can easily use it effectively ANYONE can.) 2. The ROI is phenomenal. Every single month GeniusLink makes sure I'm not leaving any money on the table with Apple or Amazon.

Cons:

I think they under price their service for the value they provide. I'd actually pay much more to utilize it.

Highly recommend

5.0 6 years ago

Comments: Monetization of international affiliate traffic

Pros:

Geniuslink's consistently delivers for us. We've been using it for years, and we're to the point where we forget we have it implemented, in a good way. Performance is reliable, consistent, and the customer service team proactively reaches out if there are anomalous dips.

Cons:

Very minor, since the customer service is so responsive, but sometimes the reporting dashboard doesn't pull historical reporting. An email to the GeniusLink crew though is typically returned same day, so again, minor con.

Geniuslink review

5.0 6 years ago

Comments: Geniuslink are a benchmark for tech companies - they provide an excellent service, great value for money and constantly strive to innovate and improve their offering.

Pros:

Many things but the two I use the most are the ability to automatically track links and geo-target to a near perfect degree

Cons:

Nothing - I only wish they covered more merchants and released even more products

I love Geniuslink because it has made my life so much easier

5.0 3 years ago

Pros:

I recently started using Geniuslink, and I'm so happy I did. It's been so easy to set up links with websites as well as other places like my blog, YouTube channel, and social media. The best part is that I don't need have to go to multiple websites to keep track of them, all of them are tracked on one platform which really saves me a lot of time.

Cons:

they should start offering some advanced features which their competitors are offering

Makes organising your links super simple

5.0 6 years ago

Comments: Very handy. I post affiliate links on my blog as well as YouTube. I can track where my traffic is coming from and easily find links from even years ago. It saves me so much time and helps my business a lot

Pros:

The search function mean you can find links you've made years ago in seconds. Plus it will send amazon traffic to the appropriate regional stores and makes me more money. Also I love that you can pay in "buckets" of clicks, so you only ever pay for how much it is used.

Cons:

I am wary of using "masked" links for amazon affiliate links, but so long as you use the correct disclaimers it is fine

Pros:

I am currently just very happy with it Price can creep up with high traffic, but so does revenue (at least I hope so!), thus overall it is worth it

Awesome product, can't wait or a mobile view

5.0 6 years ago

Pros:

The ease of setting up links with multiple destinations is fantastic, and lets me provide ONE link with choices to my audience.

Cons:

The mobile view. I really really need a way to at minimum access my links (and ideally create them too) on the phone. I respond to the majority of my youtube questions from the phone and often need to access links.

So happy I signed up for Genius Link, and I recommend to all my clients, too!

5.0 6 years ago

Comments: GL was easy to set up, and I appreciate how it walks you through ways to improve the links and income from those links. I'm also part of the GL FB group. It's a solid community, and when I posted with a specific question, I got an immediate response from one of the owners to problem solve. It's more than worth what I pay for it.

Pros:

That I'm making more money in affiliates.

Cons:

Can't say there's anything I don't like.

Link shortener with stats

2.0 5 years ago

Comments: I think overall there are easier url shorteners to use. However, on a business scale this software might work

Pros:

Geniuslink first good to use at the start to create shorter links and also be able to see various stats for those links once they are posted

Cons:

I found it to be clunky and not very clear to use. I was using the free version but it did not specify limitations until they are reached and it was not easy to turn off
