Amateur affiliates look at their dashboard, see 10 sales, and celebrate. Professional media buyers look at 10 sales and immediately ask: "Which exact ad creative, on which website placement, targeting which age demographic generated these 10 sales?" If you cannot trace a conversion back to its absolute origin, you cannot optimize your ad spend. To achieve this, you must master the technical language of tracking parameters.
The Anatomy of a Tracking URL
When you generate a link inside Affiliate Duniya, it isn't just a simple redirect. It is a highly customizable data-capture mechanism. The URL string is built using key-value pairs separated by an ampersand (&). Let’s break down the most critical components:
1. Offer ID and Affiliate ID (The Baseline)
?offer_id=104&aff_id=882
This is the mandatory baseline. It tells our server exactly which product is being promoted (Offer 104) and who is getting paid for the conversion (Affiliate 882).
2. The Power of Sub-IDs (Sub1 to Sub5)
Sub-IDs are empty variables that publishers can use to pass specific dynamic data from their traffic source (like Facebook or Google) directly into the Affiliate Duniya dashboard. Most networks offer 5 parameters: sub1 through sub5.
- Routing Campaign Data: You might set
sub1={campaign_name}to track if the click came from your "Winter Sale" ad or your "Retargeting" ad. - Granular Creative Tracking: You can use
sub2={ad_id}to see exactly which image or video the user clicked. If you test 10 videos, checking yoursub2reports in Affiliate Duniya will instantly reveal which single video is generating 80% of your profits. - Placement Optimization: For Native or Pop traffic, using
sub3={widget_id}or{site_id}allows you to identify malicious or low-converting websites and block them in your traffic source, saving thousands of dollars.
The Click ID (ClickID / Transaction ID)
While Sub-IDs are used by the publisher for their own data, the Click ID is generated by our server. It is a unique, alphanumeric hash (e.g., 1a2b3c4d5e6f) created the millisecond the user clicks the link. This ID is the absolute backbone of Server-to-Server (S2S) tracking.
The Click ID follows the user to the advertiser's landing page. If the user converts, the advertiser's server sends a Global Postback to Affiliate Duniya containing only two pieces of data: The Click ID and the Payout Amount. Because the Click ID is tied to your original click, our system instantly knows your Affiliate ID, your Sub-IDs, and the exact time of the click, attributing the revenue flawlessly.
