Affiliate Tracking for Affiliate Directories

Affiliate directories are where potential partners discover programs to join. If you're a SaaS company that came over from ShareASale to Awin, you're still paying network fees for features designed for product retailers while missing subscription-specific tracking. Trackli helps you track which directories send you the best affiliates, manage inbound applications from directory listings, and measure the ROI of each directory placement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which affiliate directories should I list my SaaS program on?
Start with general directories like OfferVault and AffiliateFix, then add niche SaaS affiliate directories. Trackli helps you measure which directories drive the best partners so you can focus your efforts on the most productive ones.
How do I track which directory an affiliate came from?
Trackli generates unique signup URLs for each directory listing. When an affiliate signs up through a directory-specific link, they're automatically tagged with that source. You can then filter and analyze performance by directory.
Is it worth listing on paid affiliate directories?
It depends on the directory's audience quality. Use Trackli's ROI tracking to measure the actual revenue generated by affiliates from each directory. If a paid listing brings in partners who generate significant commissions, the investment pays for itself.
Can I create different application processes for directory affiliates?
Yes. You can have stricter vetting for directory-sourced applications since these affiliates may be less familiar with your product compared to customer-turned-affiliates. Customize application questions based on the referral source.
How do I optimize my directory listings?
Use Trackli's data to see which listing details correlate with higher-quality applications. Test different program descriptions, commission rates, and marketing highlights. Focus optimization efforts on directories that drive the most revenue.
