Cuelinks Review

Are you an Indian blogger with tons of Indian traffic? Want to make money from your blog beyond AdSense ?
If your answer is Yes, today I have a great solution for you to make more money along with AdSense. One of the biggest challenges for an average Indian blogger is to get started with Affiliate marketing. If you have been blogging for a while, you must be aware of the fact: Affiliate marketing pays more than AdSense in the certain scenario.
The solution that I'm talking about is Cuelinks , and it works along with AdSense. So you don't have to discard AdSense ads to use Cuelinks.
In this guide, I will share everything you need to know about Cuelinks, How to implement Cuelinks?blog monetization on your blog, and all information from getting started to get paid.
Cuelinks is one of the easiest methods to monetize your blog, where you don't have to do anything after setting up once. It will hardly take 10 minutes to setup after getting approval.
Cuelinks is a content monetization network that works like Viglink and Skimlinks When you sign up for Cuelinks, It will give you few line of Javascript code that you need to place on your blog once, and it will automatically convert your links to Indian merchant sites into an affiliate link.
Whenever a reader clicks on such links on your blog post and makes a purchase, you get a handsome commission out of it. In short, Cuelinks make affiliate marketing pretty easy for you or anybody else.
Note: If you have never heard of Affiliate marketing before, here is an eBook that teaches you everything about affiliate marketing
By default, Cuelinks monetize all the merchant links they are associated with. In case, if you want to work directly with any particular merchant (Ex: Flipkart affiliate), you can mail it to Cuelinks team, and they will remove Flipkart from your account.
Cuelinks is great for any Indian blog whose target audience is India or getting traffic from India. It's great for those bloggers who link out to e-commerce or product based Indian site. Here is a list of notable Merchant from Cuelinks:
Cuelinks saves your time for signing up separately for an?individual affiliate program. None the less, you can generate a direct affiliate link to the specific page on any of the merchant site. Here is how you can do that:
On the next page, enter the product URL from the merchant site, and click on Link me to get unique Affiliate link
Optionally you can directly go to link kit (While you are logged into Cuelinks account) and generate affiliate marketing board a deep affiliate link for any merchant product page, which is an affiliate with Cuelinks.
Cuelinks work great when you have linked to merchant sites, but how about when you don't have a link to a particular site? This is where Cuewords come into the picture. This is the latest feature from them, and it automatically converts text into links. This is pretty useful for Indian bloggers who haven't added many links in their old blog post.
Cuewords give you option to control how many words on a page it should convert into affiliate links. I would recommend keep it between 3-5, as too many links will be annoying to the readers.
I have made this 12-minute?video, which shows you how to use Cuelinks, and in the end I shared some exclusive tips for those who want to build a business using Cuelinks:
With Cuelinks, you can start an online coupons & deals site. Every day, you will get an email for on-going deals, and you can use it to start an online business of yours. You can use themes like CouponPress to start your deal site. Do watch above video till the end, as I shared how you could use Cuelinks to make money without a blog.

Harsh i am an avid reader here. i definately having a connect with you guys. Apart from this i faced a issue so i thought i should share.
I guess your positive review is old and needs to be changed. Why i am saying this??
It is because i have used them and my website has good visitors every day..But i used to think the visitors do not convert. But once i checked and told my relative to buy godaddy ,bigrock, paytm links to buy product but i was shocked to see even after waiting for 4 days their dashboard shows no sales/no commision. To my HORROR i mailed them to ask for the ques, why is it. They did not reply for another 2 days. IT IS DEFINITELY THEY ARE NOT SERIOUS FOR BUSINESS. tHEIR SUPPORT,TRACKING(OR MAY THEY DO THIS KNOWINGLY) SUCKS big time.
I learnt Basics of cuelinks through your video. I must say your blog is one of the favorite blogging guide blog for me. Today even I missed out my one class to learn cuelinks from you as I was wondering about it for months. Thank you for making such a great guiding videos and blogs.
But I need to clear one thing. How much time it takes to start showing the live banner ad on our blog? As I placed the deals banner ad code in my text widget in my wordpress site and when I visited my site, there was blank sidebar. Please help and guide me to get rid of my this problem !
The biggest problem with Cuelinks is that their Javascript installation and automatic link tracking doesn't work when users have ad block enabled.
Essentially, you generate traffic and a lot of potential revenue is lost. I would suggest manual linking in combination with cuelinks to keep revenue high.
You shouldn't. In case, if you wish to keep the number of plugins at minimal on your blog, you should rather try using Google tag manager for adding tags like Cuelinks, Google Analytics & much more.
I would like to know which will be best to choose among. Cue links. Viglinks and Skim links
Which one of the cuelinks, viglinks is better? Or are they special in their own terms.
does this affiliate link created using viglinks, skimlinks is do-follow link or no-follow? I remember having a do follow affiliate link will results in google penalty as per panda update
Also have a look at VigLInk as they have now access to Indian database. It would better in many situation. You can learn more about it here: -
yes, you can use AdSesen + Affiliate ads at the same time. Read more here: -
I have a question there is Rs 500 as min thresh hold so i have earned Rs 800 in the last Month, So now i want to withdraw this amount but while filling the bank details there is one option Legal Entity Name?. What is this can you tell me ???
just signed up for the same i have just started my blog and not have much traffic
There needs to be correction in the revenue share.75% is for merchants who earn more than 50000/mo.
Need to know whether cuelinks going to deduct some amount during the final payment..can somebody brief me about the revenue sharing between publisher and cuelinks?? will be grateful
Very informative and a briefly described post about affiliate marketing in india, but am confused about the revenue distribution between the publisher and cuelinks i.e, are they going to deduct 25% of the amount from the accumulated earnings?? please revert
If you are thinking of starting an online coupon or deals website, then why go with blogger? Instead I will suggest you to go with WordPress. It is far more flexible and you will have more control over your website.
