Links & Tracking
Learn how affiliate links work and keep your campaigns organized.
Check your link before you launch
Make sure your link is working correctly before sending traffic.
-
01
Copy the provider link
Use the unique link from your affiliate account as the base for your promotions.
-
02
Add supported campaign tags
Use the provider’s supported tags to organize traffic sources and campaigns.
-
03
Test the destination
Open the complete link and check it reaches the intended page.
-
04
Review the dashboard
Check that your test activity is recorded in the provider’s reporting.
Understand the funnel
Traffic goes through several stages before it can earn a confirmed commission.
Clicks
They follow your referral link.
Registrations
They sign up with the provider.
Qualifying payments
Eligible validated payments earn commission.
Keep campaign sources organized
Use a consistent naming approach to understand which content sends traffic.
| Channel | Campaign tag | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Website | seo-review | Comparison page |
| Social | social-demo | Feature video |
| Community | community-qa | Helpful answer |
When something looks wrong
Common questions to help you check your tracking.
Clicks missing
Check the exact link, redirect destination, supported parameters and reporting filters. Allow for the provider’s reporting update process.
Registrations without payments
A registration is not a qualifying payment. Check the conversion definition and the provider’s validated activity records.
Commissions still pending
Review validation status, payment eligibility, refunds and any requested account information. Contact the provider for account-specific questions.
Use validated provider reporting for confirmed earnings.
Only the provider can confirm eligible activity and commissions.
90-day cookie and missing attribution
Tracking is based on browser cookies.
-
Use the same browser and device
Different browsers or devices, cleared cookies and incognito use can prevent tracking.
-
Do not refer yourself
Self-referrals are prohibited and may not appear in reporting.
-
Ask FirstPromoter about missing tracking
If a genuine signup or sale is still missing after these checks, contact support@firstpromoter.com .
Reporting can take time to update. Check the current dashboard status and reporting period before contacting support; an old notice does not establish a current outage.
Where to review results
Reports offers Overview, Links, Traffic sources and Sub-Ids views. Set the timeframe before comparing results. Review the Customers and Rewards sections for the corresponding customer and reward records.
Use Referral links to create links and customize tokens. Use only campaign parameters supported by the dashboard; the naming examples above are suggestions, not verified parameter syntax.
