Why does the Amazon Link Checker Tool fail for my links?

You may have noticed a "Link Checker" tool inside your Amazon Affiliate account. This is used to check that your links are valid, but the tool is not working properly.

When you use this tool, you may see a warning that your links are not valid, but this is not correct. If you keep testing the same link with the tool you will get a "Valid" message, like in this demonstration video:

Your Amazon Affiliate links should look like this:

The "YOUR-TAG" is the amazon affiliate tag that you have set inside your store. It looks something like "yourtag-20" or "yourtag-21".
