Referral / Affiliate link tracking? - Sam Lego - 04-08-2014 07:50 PM

I need to track some incoming traffic / links to my site.
I can do it with my current web analytics provider but I have to sort through the statistics myself.

I want to be able to track upto a few thousand referral links eg. http://www.example.com/?ref=referrer
I want to have them all sorted so that I can just look at how many visitors I recieved from that referral link and how many of those hits were unique etc. etc.
I would also prefer if this is emedable (<--- is that even a word)

Like I said before this can be done with many different tracking sites but many of them show the entire incoming traffic for a specific link and I have to sort through each referral link myself.
I need it to be able to track 1000+++ different referral links to 10+ pages recieving 50000+ hits per month.

I need this strictly for time saving.

I hope this is enough information.

I'm pretty sure a search like Affiliate Management Software will turn up pre-made server scripts for self managed affiliate programs, they typically will also help calculate monthly commission payments.

There are some very useful Link cloaking and tracking services available online.
Bellow you'll find a link with comparison chart of the top 3 services, and a full review of each one of them.
Hope that helps
