AffiliateWP Direct Link Tracking

Affiliate links usually carry referral parameters that visitors recognize, and some people hesitate to click them. AffiliateWP Direct Link Tracking removes that parameter from the link. Affiliates point traffic to your site with a clean, simple URL, and the address visitors see stays tidy.

Affiliates submit their domain for approval. Once you authorize it, traffic from that domain is tracked directly, and referral data is stored in cookies so the affiliate receives credit for conversions. A dedicated Direct Links screen in WordPress lets you manage domains, set limits and control who takes part in the program.

Features

• Links without referral URLs: Affiliates send visitors straight to your site with plain links, so the address contains no visible affiliate referral parameters for visitors to notice.
• Dedicated Direct Links screen: A single admin screen in WordPress gives you central management of all direct tracking domains, so you can review submissions and act on them in one place.
• Domain approval system: Affiliates submit their domain for review, and only authorized domains can earn commission through direct link tracking, which keeps control of the program with you.
• Global or per-affiliate tracking: Turn on direct link tracking for every affiliate at once, or enable it only for selected affiliates when you want tighter control.
• Maximum domains per affiliate: Set a limit on how many domains each affiliate can submit, which helps keep the program orderly and discourages abuse.
• Full domain status management: Approve, reject, deactivate or delete domains from the admin panel, so you can adjust an affiliate's access whenever circumstances change.
• Email notifications: You and your affiliates receive emails when a domain is submitted, approved or rejected, so everyone knows where a request stands.
• Domain blacklist: Block unwanted or malicious domains from being added, which protects your affiliate program from fraudulent submissions.
