Recording visits and conversions is central to ClickFlare. To enable this, a domain is required to create all the necessary links for your campaign funnel: click URL, postback URL, campaign URL, and tracking pixel URLs.

You can manage domains in the Settings Menu, located to the right of General Settings. Access the Settings Menu from anywhere in the system by clicking the gear icon in the top-right corner.

Main Domain

The Main Domain is used when generating your campaign URL, click URL, and tracking pixel URLs. It acts as the core domain that supports all links in your campaign setup.

You can choose either a Dedicated Domain or a Custom Domain as your Main Domain. Once selected, the domain will automatically be applied to all campaign-related URLs: campaign URL, click URL, postback URL, and tracking pixel URLs.

Dedicated Domain

A Dedicated Domain is a unique domain automatically assigned to your account by ClickFlare.

Note: The default domain that comes with your account may be shared with other ClickFlare users

Custom Domains

A Custom Domain allows you to track traffic exclusively from your campaigns, independent of other users’ activities. You can assign a Custom Domain to your campaign URL, click URL, and tracking pixel URLs for specific campaigns.

Important note: We highly recommend using a Custom Domain for live ad campaigns.

Visible Domain After Redirect

When using the Double Meta Refresh option in the transition from lander to offer, the Visible Domain After Redirect is the domain that appears in the user’s browser after redirection. This method loads a page’s head twice, hiding the referrer’s data while sending the visitor to your offer.

Important note: We recommend using a custom domain here rather than the default one.

Visible Page On Invalid Visit

An invalid visit occurs when someone accesses a tracking URL without a campaign ID, e.g., https://yourdomain.com/. By default, this will show a 404 Not Found page.

You can redirect such visits to a different URL (for example, your affiliate network) by entering the desired URL and clicking Save.

To do this, simply add the URL and click Save.

Hint: To ensure no untargeted visits are wasted, consider creating a fallback campaign to track all untargeted traffic.
