Sovrn Commerce link monitoring FAQ

Why is my Sovrn Commerce (VigLink) link not tracking?

Sovrn Commerce (VigLink) links can stop tracking even when the URL still loads. Common causes include broken redirect chains, unavailable destinations, explicit ended-offer wording, and supported network fallback pages. These do not always return a hard 404, so basic HTTP status checks can miss them.

How does Partner Revenue Guard monitor Sovrn Commerce links?

PRG follows redirects on each checked Sovrn Commerce link and evaluates the final destination for transport errors, unavailable content, supported soft-404 signatures, and known network fallback pages. Each monitored-link alert shows its estimated revenue at risk.

Is the free Sovrn Commerce link checker really free?

Yes. The homepage scan checks up to 10 affiliate links found on one page, with no signup required. A free account adds scheduled monitoring for up to 75 Sovrn Commerce and other affiliate links.

Can a Sovrn Commerce (VigLink) link return 200 OK and still be broken?

Yes. A page can return 200 while showing a supported not-found signature, unavailable product, ended-offer wording, or known network offline page. PRG evaluates those destination signals as well as HTTP status.
