Direct Link Tracking

Tracking & Analytics

Direct Link Tracking allows you to track visitors on your landing pages without using a redirect link. This is ideal for scenarios where redirects are restricted (e.g., Google Ads, organic SEO pages) or when you want to track traffic to existing content pages.

How It Works

Instead of sending traffic to a tracking link (e.g., track.yourdomain.com/slug), you send traffic directly to your landing page URL (e.g., yoursite.com/landing). The ClickerVolt script on the page records the visit.

Visitor lands on your page directly
The cvVisit() function records the visit
ClickerVolt generates a Click ID and stores it
You can then track conversions and events as usual

Setup Instructions

1. Access Tracking Setup

In the Target form where you edit your destination URL:

Click the "Setup Tracking" button
Select the "Direct Tracking" tab

2. Install Universal Script

If you haven't already, copy the "Universal Script" and paste it into the <head> section of your landing page. This script is required for all ClickerVolt features.

3. Install Visit Code

Copy the "Track Visit Code" snippet. This contains the specific cvVisit() call for this target.

Paste this code into your landing page, usually right after the Universal Script.

<script>
  // Automatically generated by ClickerVolt UI
  cvVisit('lnk_5fae...21', 'tgt_9b3d...88');
</script>

Features

UTM Parameter Handling

cvVisit automatically captures UTM parameters (utm_source, etc.) from the visitor's browser URL. If a user lands on your page with ?utm_source=fb, it will be recorded and attributed correctly.

Return Visit Detection

The system intelligently detects return visitors. If a user returns to your page later (even without URL parameters), ClickerVolt can often revive their original attribution data from local storage.

Cross-Device Tracking

If you include the ?cvid= parameter in your direct links (e.g., from an email campaign), cvVisit will link the session to that specific Visitor Profile across devices.
