Frumbik Affiliate Hub – Affiliate Links, Amazon Product Displays, Click Tracking & Geo-Targeting
Affiliate links are the backbone of your revenue, but managing them shouldn’t be a full-time job. Frumbik Affiliate Hub turns scattered, ugly affiliate URLs into clean branded links — and gives you the analytics, Amazon integration, and automation tools to earn more from every click. Stop paying for features that should be free. Frumbik Affiliate Hub is 100% free, open source, and packed with capabilities that rival — and often exceed — the most popular premium affiliate plugins on the market. Link Management & Cloaking Transform messy URLs like https://partner-site.com/ref?id=12345&campaign=xyz into clean, trustworthy links like yoursite.com/go/best-hosting. Organize everything with categories and tags, and insert links from the Gutenberg or Classic editor in seconds. Your visitors see professional links. You see higher click-through rates. Destination Rules: Geo-Targeting, Expiration & A/B Testing (NEW) Send German visitors to amazon.de and Americans to amazon.com — per link, no code. Schedule links to expire (show a 404, redirect to a fallback URL, or auto-unpublish), and split-test destination URLs with weighted A/B rotation — results appear right in your analytics dashboard, with bot traffic filtered out. Every one of these is a paid add-on in premium competitors; here they are free. Amazon Products Integration (NEW) Display product boxes, comparison tables, and bestseller lists from Amazon — directly in your content. Supports 22 Amazon marketplaces with automatic geo-targeting, so visitors always land on their local store. A built-in TOS Compliance Engine handles price freshness, affiliate disclaimers, and link transparency automatically. No competitor offers this level of compliance out of the box. Price History Charts & Drop Alerts (NEW) Show your readers how an Amazon product’s price moved over the last 90 days with [afh_price_history asin="B0..."] — a clean chart rendered on your own server, no external chart service. Get an e-mail the moment a tracked price drops by more than your chosen percentage, plus an optional weekly summary of clicks, top links and broken links. Analytics & Click Tracking Know exactly which links perform and where your clicks come from. The Enhanced Analytics dashboard shows interactive charts, geographic data on a world map, browser and device breakdowns, and unique visitor tracking. Export everything to CSV for deeper analysis. Google Analytics 4 Integration (NEW) Send affiliate link click events directly to your GA4 property — including link slug, ASIN, marketplace, and page URL. Works with your existing Google Analytics setup. Optionally load gtag.js from the plugin, or use your own. No coding required.

It’s free. Not “free with limits” or “free trial” — genuinely free and open source under GPLv2. No upsells, no premium tier, no nag screens. Most affiliate plugins charge annual subscriptions for features like link cloaking, auto-linking, click analytics, Amazon product displays, or geo-targeting — and you often need multiple paid plugins to cover everything. With Frumbik Affiliate Hub, you get all of these capabilities in one plugin, completely free. No annual fees, no feature gates, no “upgrade to unlock” prompts. Just install and use everything from day one — including features you won’t find anywhere else, like the TOS Compliance Engine and built-in GA4 event tracking.

MaxMind GeoLite2 Database Service What it is: MaxMind provides geolocation data through their GeoLite2 database What it’s used for: Converting visitor IP addresses to geographical locations (country, city, coordinates) for analytics What data is sent: Only IP addresses of visitors who click affiliate links. IP data is processed locally using the downloaded database — no visitor data is sent to MaxMind servers in real-time. When it’s sent: Only when the GeoLocation module is enabled and a visitor clicks an affiliate link Database updates: When a license key is configured, the plugin automatically re-downloads the GeoLite2 database weekly via WordPress Cron (no visitor data is sent — only a download request using the administrator’s license key) Service provider: MaxMind, Inc. Terms of service: https://www.maxmind.com/en/terms-of-use Privacy policy: https://www.maxmind.com/en/privacy-policy Database download: https://download.maxmind.com/ (requires free license key) IP Geolocation API Services What they are: Fallback geolocation services, used only when the local MaxMind database is unavailable and GeoLocation tracking is enabled What data is sent: The visitor’s IP address only (anonymized when IP anonymization is on), one request per click. IP-API.com is also used for admin-initiated benchmark tests, which send public test IPs such as 8.8.8.8 — never visitor data. IP-API.com — Terms & privacy: https://ip-api.com/docs/legal (45 requests/minute free tier) IPApi.co — Privacy: https://ipapi.co/privacy/ | Terms: https://ipapi.co/terms/ (15,000 requests/month free tier) IPInfo.io — Privacy: https://ipinfo.io/privacy-policy | Terms: https://ipinfo.io/terms-of-service (50,000 requests/month free tier) GitHub API Service What it is: GitHub’s REST API and archive downloads, used to fetch the open-source MaxMind GeoIP2 PHP libraries What data is sent: No visitor or site data — only standard HTTP headers (server IP, plugin User-Agent “AffiliateHub-WordPress-Plugin”) When it’s used: Only when an administrator manually clicks “Install Native GeoIP2 Library” in the plugin settings — never automatically Domains contacted: https://api.github.com/ (release metadata for maxmind/GeoIP2-php and maxmind/MaxMind-DB-Reader-php), https://github.com/ and https://codeload.github.com/ (ZIP archive downloads) Service provider: GitHub, Inc. (Microsoft) Privacy policy: https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/privacy-policies/github-privacy-statement Terms of service: https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-terms-of-service Link Scanner The Link Scanner module checks your affiliate link destination URLs to verify they are still active and responding. It sends HTTP HEAD/GET requests to the destination URLs stored in your affiliate links These are URLs you have entered yourself — no visitor data is sent Requests are only triggered manually by an administrator from the Link Scanner settings page No third-party service is involved — requests go directly to the destination URLs Google Analytics 4 (optional) What it is: Google Analytics 4 tracking via Google Tag Manager What it’s used for: Sending affiliate link click events to GA4 for analytics What data is sent: Click event data (event name, link slug, ASIN, marketplace, page URL) — sent from visitor’s browser to Google When it’s sent: Only when the Google Analytics 4 module is enabled in plugin settings Optional script loading: When “Load gtag.js” is enabled, the plugin loads a JavaScript tracking library from Google’s CDN. This is optional and disabled by default. Server-side events (Measurement Protocol, optional): When the site owner additionally provides a GA4 Measurement Protocol API secret, the plugin sends click events for visitors who enter affiliate redirect links directly (from e-mails, social media, QR codes) from the WordPress server to Google. Data sent: the Google Analytics client/session identifier read from the visitor’s existing GA cookies, the clicked link’s ID/slug/destination/title and the traffic source name. The visitor’s IP address is NOT sent (the request originates from the server). No events are sent for visitors without a Google Analytics cookie. Domains contacted: – https://www.googletagmanager.com/ (gtag.js library download) – https://www.google-analytics.com/ (event data collection; also the Measurement Protocol endpoint when an API secret is configured) Service provider: Google LLC Terms of service: https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/us/ Privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy User Control and Privacy All external services are optional and off by default — the plugin works without any external connections, and disabling GeoLocation stops all IP-based tracking and API calls No CDN dependencies — all JavaScript and CSS assets are bundled locally Local processing preferred — the MaxMind database (user-supplied license key) processes IPs locally; APIs are only a fallback Source Code This plugin includes third-party JavaScript libraries in both minified and human-readable form.
