Clickmagick Link Tracker tutorial

How does click magic work

ClickMagick helps online businesses, particularly affiliate marketers and affiliate marketing companies engaging in traffic exchange and the monitoring of sales funnels, to gather actionable data.

In truth, however, it’s a useful tracking tool whether you’re looking for a landing page, email marketing, or a link management solution. Anyway, regardless of why you need to set up tracking links.Which, is easy to do with ClickMacick. You just have to click on the “Links” tab and create your tracking link.

As we’ll talk about later in this review, bot traffic can be segmented from organic traffic. This segmentation occurs through setting up a “Blocked URL”.

This blocked URL is where all traffic resulting from bot clicks will be sent, which helps ensure you only receive report data from quality traffic sources. In turn, giving you a better idea of how your affiliate links are performing within your sales funnel or landing page by preventing fake clicks skewing reports on tracking links.

ClickMagicks’s feature emphasizes that they can create tracking ids that will help you track and see where all your clicks are coming from. In this tutorial, we will be discussing link tracking in clickmagick

What are Clickmagick Links?

Clickmagick uses postback URLs, sub-IDs and tracking links to track conversions. These three methods are “industry-approved” for all link tracking activity.

Tracking links work best if you are promoting web pages that you control

Postback URLs are most suited for affiliate promotion activity on networks that prohibit the use of post back URLs

Sub IDs should be used as a last resort, in case a network doesn’t support both postback URLs or tracking links

In other words, Clickmagick has built in tracking redundancies for you, ensuring that you can track your links even where ad networks impose restrictions.

This feature lets you establish a tracking link. When the user hits the tracking link, they are redirected to the original URL. It offers a pixel code for tracking and by pasting and copying the code in the squeeze page you can monitor the opt-ins. It lets you set up multiple tracking links at once. There are a range of optional settings also available to mention under each link.

Creating Your Clickmagick Links

Now we're starting to get into what this whole thing is all about, tracking links.

You’ll need to set up new links for every offer you create. As well as for any variation of existing offers that you create.

So learn this bit well because you'll be going through these steps a lot.

Inside your ClickMagick account dashboard, click on:

‘Links' → ‘Create New Link' → ‘Create Link Manually'

This is a really simple process and will only take you few minutes, seconds once you are familiar with it.

If you're a little bit uncertain about exactly what should go where, just click one of the question marks alongside each box, or click the ‘Help' button in the top left of the window.

Personally I usually go with option to cloak the link.

Once you've completed this part, all clicks on this link will be tracked by ClickMagick, but because ClickMagick has got so much under the hood, we're only just scraping the surface.

Creating Link Groups

If you only have a small number of links to track, you may not want to bother with this. If on the other hand you've got multiple links and a number of different offers, you'll definitely want to use this function.

I create link groups for all of my offers.

Inside your ClickMagick account dashboard, click on:

‘Tools' → ‘Group Manager'

Then you're going to see a page like this one:

This really is a straightforward as it looks, all you're doing here is choosing names for groups of links that will make sense to you.
