Follows redirect paths
GhostLink follows hops behind creator and sponsor links instead of only checking whether the first URL responds.
Creator Link Monitoring
Creator links can live for years. Do you know where they land today?
GhostLink Monitoring follows redirect paths behind trusted creator, sponsor, affiliate, and ambassador links so teams can see where visitors actually land after redirects.
Example Creator Link
Placement
YouTube description or link-in-bio page
Checked URL
https://creator.example/recommends/kit
Expected Domain
brand.example
Observed Final Destination
brand.example/products/kit
Evidence
Redirect-chain evidence for review
The Problem
Creator links may keep loading long after the campaign owner stops checking them.
Creator links can live in YouTube descriptions, blogs, newsletters, link-in-bio pages, social posts, podcasts, product reviews, and old campaign content for months or years.
Those links may still respond, but tracking systems, shortlinks, affiliate platforms, or landing-page rules can change the redirect path or observed final destination over time.
GhostLink provides trusted link monitoring for selected business links. It is not a malware scanner or a guarantee that a link is safe.

FAQ
Creator link monitoring questions.
What is creator link monitoring?
Creator link monitoring checks selected creator, sponsor, affiliate, and ambassador links to see where visitors land after redirects.
Why monitor YouTube description links?
YouTube description links can stay public for years, even after products, tracking links, or campaign pages change.
How is this different from uptime monitoring?
Uptime monitoring checks whether a URL responds. GhostLink focuses on the redirect path and observed final destination.
Does GhostLink replace an affiliate platform?
No. GhostLink does not manage partners, payouts, commissions, or attribution. It provides redirect-chain evidence for selected trusted links.
Does GhostLink guarantee links are safe?
No. GhostLink helps detect unexpected destination changes, but it does not guarantee safety or replace security tools.
What is the Free Link Check?
It is a point-in-time diagnostic for one authorized URL with an email result. It is not continuous monitoring and provides no safety guarantee.
