Why Link Shortening is Crucial for Affiliate & Referral Marketing

Affiliate and referral marketing rely on tracking link performance to measure clicks, conversions, and commissions. However, long and cluttered URLs can make links look untrustworthy, leading to lower click-through rates and missed opportunities. That’s where CutMe Short helps – by providing branded, trackable short links that improve engagement and provide detailed analytics to optimize campaigns.
