Tracking Overview - Optimise Knowledgebase

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
Optimise Australia	clk.omgt2.com	track.omguk.com	Australia
Optimise Brazil	clk.omgt6.com	track.omguk.com	Brazil
Optimise India	clk.omgt5.com	track.in.omgpm.com	India
Optimise PL	–	track.omgpl.com	Poland
Optimise SE ASIA	clk.omgt3.com	track.omguk.com	Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Phillipines, Hong Kong
Optimise UK	clk.omgt1.com	track.omguk.com	United Kingdom, France

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.

r	String	No	Deeplink parameter. Please refer to Deep Linking Guide

Unique Identifier (UID)/SubID

Using UID allows affiliate to record a unique click reference and track through to a sale.

http://track.omguk.com/?AID=XXX&PID=XXX&UID={UIDValue}

A UID is an alpha-numeric string up to 50 characters in length.

Additional UID/SubID values are available. Please view the UID/SubID Guide for more information.

Reporting of UID against transactions can be extracted from the Transactions Summary report and also the Transactions Summary Web Service.

Deeplinking

Please refer to the dedicated Deep Linking Guide for information on how to generate deeplinks.

How do I open in a new window?

You can configure this via the interface where you collect your tracking URL:

Image

This is set by changing the target on the anchor to _blank for a new window or _top to open over the existing window:

<a href="http://track.omguk.com/?AID=XXX&PID=XXX" target="_blank">{Link text goes here}</a>

  Simply add &UID={YourStringHere} to the end of your click URL. You can find out more here: https://kb.optimisemedia.com/?article=adding-a-subid-uid
Rashmi

do we have to make a separate column in csv to insert tracking url when a user click on a particular product to track the user’s click or transaction

  I’m not quite sure what you are referring to about inserting a column in a CSV?

How to add user specific UID, which will help to track user transaction
- Optimise Media
  
  Hi Komal.
  
  Please take a look at this guide: https://kb.optimisemedia.com/?article=adding-a-subid-uid
  
  Thanks
  - Komal
    
    I have read this guide, but how can I add UID user specific. As manually I have add UID “copon01”, I have used this url. But how this url is user specific? How can I add UID automatically as any user login?
    
    One more question
    There is a option View uploaded emails. What is this? How can upload
    - Optimise Media
      
      This is entirely dependant on the platform you are using on your website or app. You will need to populate this UserID value into &UID= parameter.

        My website is on WordPress, how can I populate userid value into &UID=
      - Optimise Media
        
        You would need to code this in WordPress. I’m afraid that’s not something we could directly advise on. You may want to look at this: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_current_user_id/

  Hi Bradley. That looks like a conversion tag for an Advertiser. Take a look at the documentation here: https://kb.optimisemedia.com/?article=quick-start-guide
