🎯 6. Sub-ID Tracking (Traffic Sources)

Sub-IDs let you track which traffic source generated each click and conversion — without creating extra links. This is a standard feature in professional tracking platforms.

How It Works

Just append any identifier after your slug in the URL. No setup needed — it works instantly with every link you create:

your-slug/facebook your-slug/google-ad1 your-slug/email-march your-slug/youtube-review your-slug/solo-ad-john

Everything after the slug becomes the sub-ID. The visitor is redirected to the same destination — but the sub-ID is stored with the click.

Alternative: Query Parameter

You can also pass the sub-ID as a query parameter if you prefer:

your-slug?sid=facebook your-slug?sub_id=google-ad1 your-slug?subid=email-march

All three query param names (sid, sub_id, subid) are supported.

Use Cases

|

| Scenario | | Sub-IDs to Use |

|

| Track which ad platform converts best | | /facebook, /google, /bing, /youtube |

| Split-test ad creatives | | /fb-ad1, /fb-ad2, /fb-ad3 |

| Track email campaigns | | /email-mar2, /email-apr1, /broadcast-friday |

| Track solo ad vendors | | /solo-john, /solo-mike, /solo-sarah |

Where Sub-IDs Appear

Dashboard — Sub ID column in Recent Clicks and Recent Conversions tables

Link Stats — Full Sub-ID Breakdown table with clicks, conversions, revenue, conversion rate, and EPC per sub-ID

Conversions — Sub ID column on the main Conversions page

W+ / JVZoo — Sub ID column on marketplace add-on pages

CSV Exports — Sub ID included in all data exports

✅ Example: You're promoting an offer on Facebook and via email. Create one link (/my-offer), then share my-offer/facebook in ads and my-offer/email in emails. Check the Link Stats page to see which source drives more sales.

💡 Tips:

Sub-IDs are case-sensitive: /Facebook and /facebook are tracked separately

Keep sub-IDs short and descriptive — they appear in tables and exports

No limit on how many sub-IDs you can use per link

Clicks without a sub-ID show as empty in the breakdown — that's normal
