Redirectless Tracking

Redirectless tracking is an affiliate tracking method that captures clicks client-side through the AnyTrack Tracking Tag instead of routing visitors through a redirect server or CNAME-cloaked tracking subdomain. Visitors go straight from your landing page to the offer, while AnyTrack records the OutboundClick event and Click ID before they leave.

Traditional trackers like Voluum and RedTrack rely on a tracking-server URL (e.g., https://go.yourdomain.com/click/1) that redirects the visitor to the offer. Facebook and Google flag those redirects as cloaking, privacy-focused browsers block the CNAME subdomain, and every blocked redirect is a lost click you already paid for. Redirectless tracking removes the redirect step entirely — no redirect servers, no CNAME cloaking, no click loss — while the Tracking Tag preserves full attribution.

Why Redirects Cause Problems

❗

Important

Traditional trackers like Voluum and RedTrack require a Call to Action URL on your landing page (e.g., https://subdomain.yourdomain.com/click/1). This redirect points to the tracker's server using a CNAME DNS record — browsers identify this as cloaking and block it. The visitor you paid for never reaches the offer.

How Redirectless Tracking Works

1. Visitor clicks an ad and lands on your page (standard campaign URL with UTM parameters)
2. The AnyTrack Tracking Tag loads and captures all tracking parameters (UTMs, Click ID, session data)
3. Visitor clicks a product or affiliate link on your page
4. AutoTag appends the correct SubID parameter to the link
5. Visitor goes directly to the offer — no redirect server in between
6. AnyTrack fires an OutboundClick event and forwards it to all connected ad platforms via Conversion API

The visitor never passes through a third-party tracking server. Attribution data is captured entirely on your page.

Features That Power Redirectless Tracking

AutoTrack automatically captures OutboundClick and FormSubmit events on your site. Every link click and form submission is tracked and forwarded to your ad platforms without any code changes.

AutoTag appends the correct SubID and Click ID to each link based on the destination platform. ClickBank gets tid, Rakuten gets u1, CJ gets sid — all handled automatically.

AutoScan crawls your site to discover which affiliate networks your links belong to. If you use redirect plugins like ThirstyAffiliates, AutoScan resolves the final destination and tags accordingly.
