If a person has cookies disabled or clears his cookies and visits your link again, it WILL count it. Cookies are set to a 24 hour period, so if the person click on the redirection link after 24 hours, it will count as a unique click.

Click Through Rate

I. Basics

Click-through rate (CTR) is the percentage of people who visit your website and click on an affiliate link. We can track the amount of visitors to your site and compare it to the amount of clicks to a drasky affiliate redirect.

II. Set Up

After you have created a redirect, click on the "See More" link of the corresponding redirect. In the bottom right of the opened div, there is a tracking code. Put that tracking code onto the page which hosts the redirect link. For example, if you own www.mysite.com/rugs.html which has the affiliate link http://drasky.net/user/rug/, place the tracking code onto the www.mysite.com/rugs.html
Our tracker will count the amount of people who visit your site and then compare that to the amount of people who click onto the affilate link and produce your CTR
