Thank you for this. It was very clear and useful. Unfortunately, the debugView option is not showing the newly created events. Anything I am doing wrong?
What if you are in more than one affiliate program- would you set up events for each one? Like Amazon, shareasale, etc.? If not, how would you filter to see which ones are being clicked? Also, is there a way to see what post is getting the affiliate link click- like to see what blog posts are leading to the most clicks? Thanks!
With google tag manager you can add other tags like facebook pixel in addition to GA4 tag. It also provides some additional features like the ability to add events without touching the code.
Thanks Julian would it work if I use pretty links plugins and use direct affiliate linjs and could I make conversion related to only page which contain affiliate links not all pages links?
I have noticed that in GA4 only 10% of the UTM parameters are being passed compared to GA Universal. As a result, in GA4 I see more referral and direct users. Would you know why this is happening please? Thanks
Tracking affiliate clicks is NOT the same as tracking conversions. You can only track conversions with affiliate programs that support a subid. I know this because I sell software that can track affiliate clicks and conversions and upload this info to GA 4. This includes page referral and commission amount. It uses the standard GA 4 e-commerce events.

hi measure school,nice tutorial but can we track the actual sale of amazon product
Is it possible to track the actual sales/conversions you make as an affiliate on GA4? Or can we just track clicks as shown in this video?
Hi, did u find out how to do that?
Thanks Julian
would it work if I use pretty links plugins and use direct affiliate linjs
and could I make conversion related to only page which contain affiliate links not all pages links?
no, because pretty links are not outbound links. You would need a different technique
How do we track aff links if they are cloaked or redirection (307 or 302)? I still considering how to do it.

Might be a technical issue.
@@MeasureSchool Thanks for the reply. By technical issue, are you referring to an issue on the website?

yes, that would be a different tracking technique and you wouldn't need additional software for this.
Hi, i would like to learn more about your software. Is it possible to have a zoom?
