Description

AffiliateWP Direct Link Tracking is a WordPress plugin add-on that lets affiliates send visitors to your site using links on their own website instead of a special affiliate URL. Affiliates submit their domains for your approval, and when someone arrives from an approved domain, the visit is tracked and a referral can be created if they convert.

Key Features

  • Domain approval – You decide which affiliate domains are allowed before any direct link tracking can earn commission.
  • Direct Links admin screen – A dedicated area in the WordPress admin gives you an overview of all tracked domains and lets you manage them.
  • Global or per-affiliate control – You can turn Direct Link Tracking on for everyone or only for selected affiliates.
  • Domain limits – You set how many domains each affiliate may submit, either site-wide or for individual affiliates.
  • Email notifications – The site administrator is emailed when a domain is submitted, and the affiliate is emailed when their domain is approved or rejected.
  • Domain blacklist – You can block specific domains so they cannot be added and visits from them are not stored.

Who Is It For

This add-on is for store owners and site operators already running AffiliateWP who want affiliates to promote them through ordinary links on the affiliates' own websites. It suits programs where affiliates prefer not to share obvious affiliate URLs with their audience.
