A screen record for generating a tracking link via ReklamStore Affiliate (previously ReklamAction) panel.

A tracking link is a special kind of link that tracks who clicked, when and from where. Using it is essential in affiliate campaigns. Without tracking the campaign results, none can determine how much return they get for their advertising spent.

With ReklamStore Affiliate, you can easily generate your tracking links to measure your campaign success. As you can see on the gif above, the only thing an affiliate must do is to copy their already generated tracking link. Default parameters are enough for us to create a session and redirect the user to the offer URL. However, there are instances you might wish to track other information. In those cases, you can add the additional parameters to your campaign tracking link. Read the rest of the article to learn more.

Let's dig in and check how to copy the link and the other features we are providing to our affiliates.

Your default tracking link will look like:

http://ad.adrttt.com/aff_c?offer_id=XXXXX&aff_id=XXXXX

It's already generated under your approved campaigns. You can copy and start using it right away. Here are the steps to find where it's located.

  1. Login to your ReklamStore Affiliate account.
  2. Click Offers from the menu.
  3. Click the first item under Offers menu, Approved Campaigns.
  4. Select a campaign in which you would like to copy the tracking link.
  5. Copy the field below Your Tracking Link.

Generate TinyURL: In case you would like to use the shortened version of your tracking link, you can use this function.
