Sources feature
The Sources feature allows affiliates to add a special parameter to their links that can help determine the source of traffic to their merchant's site.
This is useful in a variety of settings. For example, affiliates can set a different source for each of these instances:
To track traffic from a specific blog post or video
To assess the traffic coming from a specific social media platform
To evaluate the performance of a deep link
To analyze the placement of multiple links (in an email, for example)
To see if your reviews containing referral links gain traction
A/B testing
Knowing the source can help affiliates better understand how and where their efforts are paying off and where their audiences are coming from. Affiliates will be able to see clicks and conversions per source they've created.
Affiliates can add as many different sources as they like. We encourage Advertisers to share this article with them.
