Profile Builder Pro – WordPress Plugin V3.16.0
AffiliateWP Direct Link Tracking changes how affiliate referrals are detected. Instead of requiring affiliates to use specially formatted affiliate links with tracking parameters, this addon credits referrals when visitors arrive from an affiliate’s registered website. The affiliate simply links to your site normally, and the system tracks the referral through HTTP referrer data.
How It Works
Affiliates register their website URLs in their AffiliateWP account. When a visitor clicks a standard link on the affiliate’s site and arrives at your store, the addon checks the referring URL against registered affiliate domains. If the referrer matches, the visit is attributed to that affiliate.
Benefits for Affiliates
- Natural linking — affiliates link to your site with standard URLs, which appear more authentic to their audience
- SEO-friendly — direct links pass link equity without the redirect overhead of tracked affiliate URLs
- Social media compatible — works on platforms that strip or modify URL parameters
- Simpler promotion — affiliates share regular URLs instead of complex tracked links
Domain Management
Affiliates can register multiple domains in their account. Administrators approve or reject domain registrations to prevent unauthorized tracking claims. Each approved domain is linked to the affiliate’s account for automatic referral attribution.
Combination with Standard Tracking
Direct link tracking works alongside standard AffiliateWP referral tracking. If a visitor arrives through a traditional affiliate link, that method takes priority. Direct link tracking serves as a complementary attribution method for affiliates who prefer natural linking.
