Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity.

Overview

About this plugin

Cloak and manage your affiliate links, then actually track what they earn. com/go/product, organise them, and serve them anywhere on your site. Connect a wecantrack account and the same links start tracking conversions server side, across 450+ affiliate networks, all the way into Google Analytics and your ad platforms.

Other cloaking plugins stop at counting clicks. Affiliate Links, with wecantrack, shows you which clicks became sales.

wecantrack was built by affiliate publishers in 2019 and is backed by a strategic investment from Awin, one of the world’s largest affiliate networks.

Why cloak your links

  • Cleaner, more trustworthy links. Replace raw affiliate parameters with short branded URLs on your own domain.
  • Protect your earnings. Keep network and tracking details out of sight of competitors and link scrapers.
  • Higher click-through. Tidy links read as safer, so more readers click.
  • Ad-network friendly. Cloaked links on your root domain are accepted where raw affiliate URLs are not.

Link management built in, free

  • Click statistics. Track each click with details like browser, language and device.
  • Conditional redirects. Send visitors to different destinations based on language or platform.
  • 301, 302 and 307 redirects. Pick the redirect type per link.
  • Nofollow and noindex. Control how search engines treat each link.
  • Categories and slugs. Organise links into categories and include the category in the URL.
  • Shortcode and HTML generator. Drop links into any post or page in a couple of clicks.
  • Widgets. Show your most popular and most recent links anywhere.

Add wecantrack to turn clicks into conversions

The link management above is free. Connect a wecantrack account to unlock server-side tracking, attribution and the full toolset no standalone cloaker offers:

  • Server-side click tracking. Clicks are recorded on the server, so ad blockers cannot strip your tracking and your attribution coverage stays high.
  • Conversion attribution across 450+ networks. Match every sale back to the click, page and traffic source that earned it.
  • Affiliate Link Generator. Turn any product landing page URL into a properly formatted, trackable affiliate link in seconds. Add custom SubIDs to tag campaigns, content or placements, and pick the right network account from a single search, with no logging into multiple affiliate platforms.
  • Monetisation Script. Automatically detect unmonetised product URLs in your existing content and swap them for wecantrack redirect URLs based on your connected partnerships. Turn pages you have already published into revenue, with no manual link building.
  • Link Tester. Test your outgoing links manually or automatically to catch 404s, broken redirects and dead landing pages before they cost you commission. Includes out-of-stock detection for Amazon and Bol.com, CSV import and export, labels and full API automation.
  • Google Analytics 4, Looker Studio, BigQuery and Zapier. Track affiliate conversions as purchase conversions in GA4, build custom dashboards, and pipe data to 6,000+ apps through Zapier.
  • Google Ads, Meta, Microsoft, TikTok, Pinterest, Reddit, Snapchat and Outbrain. Feed real sales back to your ad platforms so smart bidding optimises on revenue, not clicks.
  • Performance reports. One dashboard with advertiser, network, content, traffic source, campaign and transaction reports, so you can compare partners, pages and channels against previous periods.

Works with your existing setup

Already cloaking with Pretty Links, ThirstyAffiliates, Lasso or Redirection? wecantrack tracking runs alongside them, placing the click ID during the redirect on top of your existing link cloaking, so you can add conversion data without changing how you work. The plugin is also compatible with Datafeedr product tables.
