How to generate, place, and track promo links.
How to take a link
Two ways — both create a promo short link you can place.
- Catalog: open Products → Take link → add subids (default 1, up to 5) → generate.
- Paste URL: open Links → paste product URL → Generate → add subids → create short link.
After success, the short link appears below — copy it. Commission shown is an estimate; payouts follow each network.
How short links work
Generated links look like:
https://trafseek.xyz/r/xxxxxxxx
- Place the short link in posts, communities, bio, or stories.
- Clicks hit TrafSeek first (counted), then redirect to the affiliate product page.
- Always use the short link — raw product URLs won’t count in your analytics.
- Same product + same subids reuses an existing short link; different subids create a new one.
Custom params (subid1–subid5)
The dialog starts with subid1; use Add subid for subid2… up to subid5.
- Values are stored on the short link and visible in Analytics.
- On redirect, subid1–subid5 are appended; Amazon also maps subid1 to ascsubtag.
- Optional — you can take links and track clicks without subids.
Examples
| Param | Example | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
subid1 | ig | Channel: Instagram |
subid2 | post42 | Content ID |
subid3 | story | Format |
subid4 | us | Market |
subid5 | q4 | Campaign period |
Link examples
You share the short link (params are bound server-side, not typed into the short URL).
https://trafseek.xyz/r/Ab12CdEf
After a click, the destination may look like:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09V3KXJPB?tag=yourtag-20&subid1=ig&subid2=post42&subid3=story&subid4=us&subid5=q4&ascsubtag=ig
Partial params work too, e.g. channel + content only:
…&subid1=tiktok&subid2=video88&ascsubtag=tiktok
Analytics
- Analytics shows total clicks, 7-day trends, and per-link performance.
- Clicks count only for traffic through /r/... short links.
- Commission is an estimate by category, not settled payout — networks have the final say.
Notes
- Tracking tags are platform-owned — you don’t enter affiliate tags yourself.
- Cookie windows vary by network (often ~24h or longer); follow each program’s rules.
- Content must follow affiliate policies — violations can void commissions or restrict accounts.
- If linking fails, use a product detail URL from a supported marketplace.
