Using the affiliate plugin to track source of traffic

[Frank]

Good day! I’m thinking of trying to track where my leads are coming from in some fashion. I’m thinking of using the wp affiliate plugin to create virtual affiliates and give them a zero payout amount.

Now, my question is, will I run into grief with real affiliates when performing automated payouts in the future?

Or is there a better way to skin this cat Amin?

You won’t have any issues with that. This is how I check the performance of my ad campaigns too. Simply leave the “paypal email” field of these virtual affiliates empty and the plugin will exclude them when generating the mass payout file.

Thanks! An unadvertised feature that you should write about! This is great.
