Insecure links via network companies
Insecure Affiliate links
I just asked a question about insecure affiliate links, and therefor I dived into this matter a bit deeper, and these are my findings.
I am affiliated with UnlimitedHealth, a secured company with https. They have there affiliation outsourced at TradeTracker.
I make my affiliate links with the link generator of TradeTracker, and they deliver insecure text links.
Text link generator
With as result:
You can imagine that I will not sell a thing with this result.
Checkup your links
And be aware of whether your network company has failed to adjust this
I advice you all to check up your company links, when the company added SSL, the generator has to change that too into https.
I have changed all my links from:
http://www.unlimitedhealth.nl/... into
https://unlimitedhealth.nl/... to make them work again
I have written an email to TradeTracker, to, please, solve this problem asap.

Thanks for sharing Loes, it's always important to know this kind of things about affiliate products.
Hi Loes I am with trade tracker as well I only have one company that I promote and checked the code, sure enough, it was HTTP but I used pretty link and they do seem to open ok. Is there any other way of checking?
Check it incognito, and look what result you get. When the company is http is should open, when they have become https you probably get a warning page
Just checked the trade checker code incognito and went straight through to my promotion company.
Hi Loes I'm just wondering, would it be because you are using SiteRubix? SiteRubix doesn't carry the SSL.
I don't understand that cos their link is http but the site i'm promoting is https and my links work
I recently had the same problem and contacted the company providing the product, and they suggested what I suggested to them via my email enquiry and link the images of their product to my affiliate. I just need to crop out the free trial part.
That would be nice and I wish that could be the same in my case. Unfortunately, it isn't.
Good luck!!!
