Affiliate Tracking
For any serious affiliate and performance marketer, having a good affiliate tracking dashboard is essential.
The purpose is to make the entities talk to each other and have good information flow between your traffic sources and revenue sources.
It also saves you from having to create multiple ads to experiment with each new landing page.
You can use trackers to filter out bot traffic, run split tests on your landing page as well as your offers, post back data to the traffic source, get accurate attribution information, and so on.
A handy website to get all the tracking tokens is TrackingTokens to use on your tracking links.
