Click Analytics
Every time a visitor clicks an AffRank-injected link, we record the full context of that click. The Analytics Dashboard shows you what’s working, what isn’t, and where to focus.
What gets tracked on every click
| Data point | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Keyword | Which affiliate link was clicked |
| Source page | Which page on your site drove the click |
| Traffic source | Where the visitor came from (Google, Reddit, direct, etc.) |
| Placement | Where on the page the link appeared (inline content, comparison table, sidebar) |
| Anchor text | The exact text that was clicked |
| Device / Browser / OS | Desktop vs. mobile, browser type |
| Timestamp | When the click happened |

Total clicks
The top-level count of all clicks across all your domains and keywords. Filter by date range to see trends over time.
Clicks by keyword
Which keywords are getting clicked most. Sorted by total clicks. Use this to spot which affiliate programs are resonating with your audience and which ones to add more content for.
Clicks by page
Which articles or pages on your site drive the most clicks. High click pages with low revenue (after postback setup) are prime candidates for optimization — better offers, better keyword placement.
Clicks by source
Where your converting traffic comes from. Organic search, social referrals, direct — knowing your best traffic sources helps you prioritize where to publish.
Click trends
A time-series chart of daily clicks. Use this to spot seasonal patterns, catch drops after site changes, or confirm that new content is driving incremental clicks.
Reading EPC
EPC (Earnings Per Click) only appears after you’ve set up postback tracking. It’s calculated as:
EPC = Total Commission ÷ Total ClicksA high EPC keyword earns you more per visitor. Use EPC to:
- Find your best-performing affiliate programs
- Decide where to add more content
- Identify keywords worth bidding on
