FAQs

For you inquisitive types

Is Affilimate a Wordpress plugin?

Nope, Affilimate is an independent web application. It works with any blogging software, from Wordpress to Squarespace, Blogger, or any other platform. If your site has a sitemap, we can track it.

Will Affilimate affect my site speed?

First off, since Affilimate is an independent app instead of a plugin, this means all the intensive processing of your data happens on our server, not yours. So you don't need to worry about Affilimate affecting your server speed.

We're also smart about making sure that our script doesn't cause your page to load more slowly or make Google sad. Your pagespeed is important to us! Learn more about how we keep Affilimate fast.

Do I need to change all my links so Affilimate can track them?

No! The neat thing about Affilimate is that you can leave all your links the way they are today, and be able to start tracking them all within a few minutes. Affilimate is also compatible with cloaked links, if you're already using a tool like Thirsty Affiliates or Pretty Links.

How is Affilimate different from Google Analytics?

With Google Analytics, you would need to set up events on every single page that contains affiliate links, for every single link. On many blogs, this can be hundreds or even thousands of links.

Instead, we use a smart algorithm that finds all the affiliate links on your website in just a few minutes, and a tiny code snippet that tracks anytime those links are clicked or viewed.

And that's just to get click tracking, whereas Affilimate also offers context-aware heatmaps, centralized commission reporting, as well as many other features.

Is Affilimate GDPR-compliant?

Affilimate does not store any personal data about your website's visitors. All IP addresses are anonymized, and we don't share your visitor's data with advertisers. You can learn more in our privacy policy.
