In early February 2021, Amazon drastically expanded the unique method that is used to calculate affiliate commission payouts in five of the 19 Amazon affiliate programs worldwide.

In short, starting at approximately 22:30 pm PST on December 8th and gradually becoming more prominent over the next hour the geni.us domain was partially unavailable due to a DNS error. This broke a number of links using our service and thus clicks from these links wouldn’t resolve. The issue was fully resolved by 2:00 am on December 9th.
Our sincerest apologies if this impacted you or your links during this time.
Ready for the details? It’s a bit of a crazy one…
Just in time for Black Friday / Cyber Monday, we are excited to announce that our patented product link localization technology has been enhanced to now support Amazon Singapore (amazon.sg), Amazon Saudia Arabia (amazon.sa), Amazon Sweden (amazon.se), and the related Amazon affiliate programs!
What this means for you (creators, YouTubers/studios, authors/publishers, musicians/labels, affiliate publishers, influencers, gamers, and directors/VPs of Commerce) is that your Amazon links, managed through Geniuslink, are even smarter and more powerful. If you are starting with an Amazon.com link it means your clicks from Sweden, Singapore, and Saudia Arabia will generate more conversions as each shopper is taken to the correct product in their local Amazon storefronts.
On November 12, the Geniuslink service temporarily went down – and all of our corresponding links were essentially “broken” for nearly an hour and a half. And, for that, I offer my sincerest apologies to all of our clients that rely on our service.
It’s once again time to update our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. With the invalidation of Privacy Shield, CCPA going into effect, and it being a couple of years since we last made a change, we have made some necessary tweaks to ensure everything is clearly conveyed.
Please note that you’ll be prompted to review both the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy when you next log into your Geniuslink account.
