Direct Linking for Affiliate Offers

Direct Linking is a tracking method that lets affiliates send traffic directly to your landing pages using a lightweight script — with no redirect in between. It’s the simplest way to preserve the user experience and reduce page load times.

This method uses a click tracking script embedded in your landing page to track visits, and a conversion script placed on your post-conversion pages to record performance.

✅ No Redirects Needed – Eliminate extra hops in the funnel for a smoother visitor experience.
✅ Clean Attribution – Track affiliate clicks and conversions directly from your own domain.
✅ Fully Compliant – Meets tracking needs while adhering to privacy and cookie standards.
✅ Minimal Impact – Adds only a lightweight tracking script to your page.

1. Create a New Offer in Trackdesk
During offer creation, select Direct Linking as your tracking method in the “Landing Pages” step.

2. Place the Click Script on Your Landing Page
Insert the Trackdesk click tracking script into the <head> tag of each landing page. This logs every visit properly.

3. Add the Conversion Script to Your Thank-You Page
Place the appropriate conversion script on post-purchase (or confirmation) pages to register completed actions.

4. Launch the Offer
Once scripts are live, publish the offer. You’ll begin seeing real-time click and conversion data in your dashboard.
