# Smart Tracking Links

> Create branded redirect links with click fraud protection, A/B testing, geo targeting, and full click-to-conversion attribution

Smart Tracking Links let you create branded, trackable redirect URLs that log every click before sending visitors to your destination. Each click generates a unique Click ID that ties the visitor's journey from ad click through to conversion — all processed at the edge with sub-millisecond overhead.

## Key Capabilities

## Creating a Tracking Link

1. Go to **Dashboard → Tracking Links → Create Link**
2. Select the pixel associated with your domain
3. Give it a name (e.g., "Summer Sale – Facebook Ad")
4. Set the URL slug (e.g., `summer-sale`) — this becomes your tracking URL
5. Enter the destination URL where visitors should land
6. Copy the generated tracking URL and use it in your ads, emails, or posts

### Example

|                       |                                                          |
| --------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Your tracking URL** | `https://track.yourbrand.com/t/summer-sale`              |
| **What happens**      | SignalBridge logs the click → redirects to destination   |
| **Destination URL**   | `https://shop.yourbrand.com/summer?sb_click_id=AbCd1234` |

## A/B Split Testing (Rotator URLs)

Enable rotator mode to split traffic across multiple destinations:

1. Create a tracking link and enable **Rotator** mode
2. Open the link and go to the **Rotator URLs** tab
3. Add destination URLs with weights

| URL                          | Weight | Traffic Share |
| ---------------------------- | ------ | ------------- |
| `shop.com/page-a` (Original) | 100    | 33.3%         |
| `shop.com/page-b`            | 100    | 33.3%         |
| `shop.com/page-c`            | 100    | 33.3%         |

Higher weight = more traffic. The original destination URL is automatically included in the rotation.

<Note>A/B Split Testing is available on Growth plan and above.</Note>

## Geo-Targeted Redirects

Route visitors based on their country:

1. Enable **Geo Targeting** on the tracking link
2. Add rules with country codes and destination URLs
3. Rules are checked in priority order; the default destination is the fallback

| Countries  | Destination      |
| ---------- | ---------------- |
| US, CA     | `shop.com/en-us` |
| DE, AT, CH | `shop.com/de`    |
| Default    | `shop.com/en`    |

Geolocation is powered by Cloudflare's edge network — no extra server hops.

<Note>Geo Targeting is available on Growth plan and above.</Note>

## Click Fraud Protection

Click fraud protection is enabled by default on all plans:

* **Max clicks per IP per hour** (default: 5)
* **Max clicks per IP per day** (default: 20)
* **Fraud Redirect URL** — optionally redirect blocked visitors to a custom page

Blocked clicks are logged and visible in your link analytics.

## Sub-ID Tracking

Pass up to 5 custom sub-IDs through your tracking links:

```
https://track.yourbrand.com/t/summer-sale?sub1=facebook&sub2=creative_v2&sub3=audience_lookalike
```

Sub-IDs are automatically:

* Logged with every click
* Passed through to the destination URL
* Stored with postback conversions for full-funnel attribution

## Postback URLs (S2S Conversions)

For affiliate networks, configure server-to-server postback endpoints:

1. Go to **Settings → Postbacks**
2. Create a postback endpoint and configure parameter mapping
3. Copy the generated URL into your affiliate network dashboard

```
https://ads.signalbridgedata.com/postback?token=YOUR_TOKEN&click_id={click_id}&amount={sale_amount}
```

Click IDs are stored for 30 days for reliable attribution.

<Note>Postback URLs are available on Pro plan and above.</Note>
