Introduction
Optimise Tracking URLs are broken down into 2 component parts:
Domain – our different networks use different domains so please check this carefully if creating links manually.
QueryString parameters – our tracking requires a minimum of 2 QueryString parameters but there are many optional values available for tracking additional metrics.
Domains
Optimise uses different domains for its different affiliate networks. Please check the table below:
Network | Click Domain | Tracking Domain | Countries |

Notes:
Each network also has its own Click Domain – Please note that these “Click Domains” can change. Any existing “Click Domain” will continue to function even if it is changed.
Click domains can be used with HTTP or HTTPS.
