AffiliateWP – Direct Link Tracking 1.3

Without the need of an affiliate link, direct link tracking enables affiliates to connect directly to your site.

This is a significant incentive for your affiliates and may result in more revenue for you.

If a visitor notices an affiliate link while on an affiliate\’s website, they will understand that the affiliate will receive a commission if they click on the link and buy your goods. In certain cases, an affiliate link may cause a visitor to be suspicious about the information on your site, and they will avoid clicking the link. A prospective client who becomes dissatisfied with an affiliate link may result in a lost transaction for you (and a missed commission for your affiliate).

By using Direct Link Tracking, visitors will be totally ignorant of any affiliate connections, significantly boosting the likelihood that they will click a link to your site and proceed to make a purchase. You\’ll be happier as a result of more sales, and your affiliates will be happier as a result of increased commission.

Utilize Direct Link Tracking for the following benefits:

Increased potential for more sales

Visitors will be unaware that they have clicked on affiliate links.

Affiliates who are happier and more driven

Due to the absence of an affiliate link, affiliates have a greater possibility of receiving a commission and will work more diligently to obtain it. Visitors cannot copy and paste the URL into a new window to disable tracking, since there are none!

Optimized SEO

Links to your site will be more SEO-friendly since they will not include affiliate characteristics.

How is Direct Link Tracking implemented?

After activating the Direct Link Tracking add-on, affiliates will be able to input their domain (or domains) in their Affiliate Area on your site. Once the affiliate has submitted a domain for approval and the site administrator has accepted it, the affiliate may connect straight to your site from theirs, without utilizing their referral link.

When a visitor clicks on the affiliate\’s link and is sent to your website, the domain is checked in the database. If the domain is associated with an affiliate, the affiliate\’s ID is saved in the browser\’s cookies in the same way as a standard affiliate link is.

If the consumer then completes a purchase (or a conversion), the affiliate will get a referral.
