Setup101 vs Youfiliate

Choose Youfiliate

Youfiliate if your problem is the individual links themselves: you want each Amazon or network link to route by country, be monitored, and be swapped in bulk across your YouTube descriptions.

Choose Setup101

Setup101 if you want a page your viewers browse: the whole kit from a video, each product with a photo, note and buy link, and one link for the lot that you never have to change in the description.

  3. 03Keep Youfiliate for single-product links where country routing matters most.

Links you've already put in old videos and posts will keep pointing at Youfiliate until you change them. Update your most-viewed content first, using our free link checker to find any that are already broken. Then use one permanent setup link per video, so this is the last time you edit them.
