How Link Tracking Can Earn YOU More Money with Affiliate Marketing
This is the second video in this series entitled Why Use Tracking Links.
If you want to know – what are the differences between Tracking Links vs. Tracking Coupons and why experienced affiliates prefer link tracking- you’ve come to the right place!
What are the differences between Tracking Links & Tracking Coupons?
In affiliate marketing, each purchase is tracked with a unique link or discount code that is connected to your affiliate profile.
Tracking Coupons are also called “Offline Codes” as well as “Coupon Redemption” & “Coupon Attribution Codes”.
Tracking coupons are personal codes you can share with your audience – each affiliate gets a unique code.
These codes are provided to you by ArabClicks – when your follower enters your code at the advertiser checkout, they’ll enjoy a discount and you’ll get a commision for their purchase.
This is in contrast with Tracking Links which pay you when someone clicks your links first and only then makes a purchase.
Both are best in different situations.
In which situations are Tracked Coupons best?
Because they work without using a tracked link, tracked coupon codes are ideal for social media.
Instagram, Facebook and Twitter reach algorithms don’t like when you post Links – because they send users off of their website.
However there are a lot of situations in which link-tracking is better.
Let’s discuss 6 main reasons why many experienced affiliates prefer tracking links.
6 main reasons why many experienced affiliates prefer tracking links
- Earn for Longer with Cookies
Depending on the cookie period – which is decided by each advertiser, you can earn from purchases that take place up to several weeks after the initial click.
This means that you can capture profit from user intent when your audience are still in the research stage – locking in your commission for when they do decide to make their purchase.
As long as your Tracking Link was the last one clicked, your cookie is stored in the customer browser, – so just one click can earn you commissions from multiple purchases.
For example, if you promoted an AliExpress sale on your website but the user didn’t purchase on the same day, you’ll still earn a commission for this user purchase in the coming days or weeks – depending on the advertiser cookie period. - In-Depth Performance Data
With Tracking Links you get a full battery of data for all of your clicks and conversions so you can optimize your campaigns.
And using link parameters, you can also track the different results you obtain from small variations in your promotional materials.
This kind of in-depth data is simply unavailable when using tracking coupons.
