Creating and validating RioAff tracking links

A link test must prove campaign attribution, not merely that the landing page opens.

A pre-launch test

A clean device creates one click; the analyst checks campaign ID, subID and the redirect path.

Finding lost attribution

Why links must be separated

• Tracking links are supplied through the affiliate account.
• Their form, placement and operation should not be altered without approval.
• Additional properties require written consent.

Parameters worth retaining

1. Create a test campaign.
2. Open the link from a clean device.
3. Verify the click in the dashboard.
4. Scale only after attribution is confirmed.

Naming rules

A separate link for every property and GEO makes attribution auditable and mismatches easier to investigate.

Testing a link

Create a separate link for each property, GEO and placement type. Open it in a clean session, verify the final host and parameters, then complete a permitted test action. The click and later events should appear in the expected campaign. One controlled test before spending is far easier than investigating attribution after hundreds of visits.

Testing a link before launch

Open the link in a clean browser, complete an approved test flow and verify click ID and registration in the dashboard.

Give every subid a clear purpose and never place personal data in URL parameters.
