First of all TAKE A BACKUP BEFOREHAND if possible at this time.

Now go into your database.
Search for tables which data includes the old domain name.

For example search for http://development.mydomain.com if that was the subdomain or domain your site was initially being build up on.

Now exchange all these entries against the new domain. Make sure to also check if you will need to change the http to https for example change this to https://myproductivedomain.com.

Quick tip:

The SQL statement to do so per identified table is:

UPDATE tablename SET columnname = REPLACE(columnname,”http://development.mydomain.com“,”https://myproductivedomain.com“)

BUT TAKE A BACKUP BEFOREHAND!

Things highlighted must be adapted to your own domains, tables, columns of course.

Others crack a nut with a sledgehammer

When I googled the symptom for the first time, I naturally found several articles that suggested a solution to this problem. The only problem was that all of these posts were looking for the cause in certain WordPress functions, some of which I didn’t even use or which were simply not responsible for the behavior on my case. In other posts, the autoload functions were often blamed for the too large database. Other posts recommended plugins for optimizing the WordPress instance. All nonsense and clickbait, as it turned out.

My problem first appeared after using my WordPress page for about 4 weeks. Before that I had migrated my blog from Joomla to WordPress via a plugin and added features for multilingualism. In short: During the last weeks my database was very busy and a lot of garbage accumulated.

Solved by optimizing the tables in phpMyAdmin

First we open our database in phpMyAdmin. On the top level we sort the contained tables by their size and identify the biggest space wasters:

Attention: At the next step we can easily click wrong options and thus possibly delete whole tables. As a precaution I recommend to make a backup first.

Now we mark the largest tables of our WordPress database with a check mark in the selection box and now click on the drop-down menu next to the “Select All” button at the bottom of the screen.

Here we select the entry “optimized table”.

phpMyAdmin now optimizes the table, or recreates it cleanly, if direct optimization is impossible. In my case the table shrunk from 602 MB to a reasonable 1.5 MB.

Automatic internationalization

With geni.us we can create an internationally functional affiliate link very quickly.
First we have to provide all our tracking IDs of the various affiliate programs once.

Next, we can create our first link for a product. For this it is sufficient to enter a normal Amazon link (not necessarily an affiliate link) in the portal. geni.us will now use this link to search for the matching product and products at all Amazon marketplaces we have set up.

geni.us now creates a short link for its own service and stores the different marketplaces as dynamic forwarding targets.

The shortlink then looks like this, for example: https://geni.us/WjaEcr (Amazon Affiliate Link)

Depending on the country a potential visitor comes from, geni.us will now forward the link to the internationalized marketplace that suits him. This ensures that really every link call also leads to monetization.

Simple central administration

However, the international monetization on the different marketplaces is not the only advantage of geni.us. For example, if you provide links to products on different channels, you spend a lot of time keeping every single link up to date and may have to replace the links on hundreds of videos on YouTube individually.
With geni.us , these “maintenance tasks” are reduced to a minimum because the geni.us short code remains the same everywhere. In the geni.us link portal, the product stored on the link is only changed once. That’ it.

A “Bad-Link-Checker” also informs us if a linked product is no longer available on one of the marketplaces.

Monetization of all website links through a script for WordPress

Particularly useful is the possibility to have all outgoing Amazon links of a WordPress page automatically internationalized by geni.us. For this purpose, the official geni.us plugin “Amazon Link Engine” can be used.
https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/amazon-link-engine/

The nicest thing is that this plugin also automatically adjusts the outgoing link of popular WordPress plugins like AAWP. So I don’t need to care about internationalization and Geo-IP in these plugins anymore.

An AAWP product is embedded as usual and the outgoing link runs automatically through geni.us:

DJI Mavic 2 Pro - Drohne mit Hasselblad L1D-20c Kamera, Video 4K HDR 10 bits, 31 Minuten Flugzeit, 20 MP 1" CMOS-Sensor,...*

Amazon

Does geni.us comply with the Amazon guidelines?

If you believe the manufacturer, yes. I myself have not had any bad experiences yet.

My biggest concern was that Amazon actually prohibits short linking of Amazon affiliate links in my opinion. And geni.us does nothing else, does it?

If you take a closer look at the terms and conditions, you will see that shortlinking is only forbidden if it makes it unrecognizable that the link will lead to Amazon. And exactly this can be achieved by simply placing a note à la “(Amazon Affiliate Link)” behind the link.

According to the manufacturer, Amazon itself has confirmed and approved the product.
Details can be found here: https://www.geni.us/amazon-safe

How much for the fun?

The service can be tested free of charge for 14 days.

For up to 2000 clicks per month the service costs $5 per month. Each additional 1000 clicks cost $2 more. So I think that these costs scale very well with the clicks generated and the pricing is definitely fair.

The account can be terminated at any time without a minimum contract period.
