Links
codes and clicks you can count.

Each brand deal gets its own short link, with the brand's discount code if it has one, so every click is counted by the platform it came from. The sales the brand reports go next to the clicks, and all your links live on a link-in-bio page we host for you.

What's included

What every deal gets.

The parts that turn "how did it do?" into an answer with a number on it.

A short link per deal

A clean address on creatorsmg.com for each brand, named after you and the brand, that forwards to the product page.

Clicks by platform

Each place you share it carries its own tag, so clicks from TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and your link-in-bio page are counted apart.

The brand's discount code

Paired with the link on the deal, printed the way the brand issued it, and dropped into captions and descriptions for you.

Sales next to clicks

The brand reports the sales your link and code brought in from its campaign portal, and they sit beside the clicks in both your reports.

A link-in-bio page

One page with your links, your brand links and their discount codes, hosted by us at an address with your handle. It's linked from your media kit too.

Clean counting

Clicks are counted by source, country and device. Bots are kept out of the totals and no visitor's IP address is ever stored.

The routine

How it runs.

From a signed deal to a click count the brand can trust.

  1. The deal is signed

    Your team creates the deal's link, pointing at the brand's page, and adds the brand's discount code if there is one.

  2. It goes where you post

    In the Instagram Story link sticker, your TikTok bio, the YouTube description and your link-in-bio page, each tagged with where it is.

  3. Clicks are counted

    By platform, country and device, as they happen, visible to you and to the brand in its campaign portal.

  4. Sales are added

    The brand tells us the sales it saw from your link and code, and they go in the results report next to the clicks.

In detail

How this actually works.

The parts of links & codes that matter once you are inside it.

Clicks by platform, even when the apps hide where they came from

TikTok's and Instagram's in-app browsers often open a link without saying where the visitor came from. Counted the usual way, a big share of your clicks shows up as "unknown", which is no use to you or the brand.

So the link you share on each platform carries a small tag saying where it was posted. The tag wins when it's there; when it isn't, we fall back to where the visitor came from. The brand sees TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and link-in-bio clicks apart, and you see which platform actually drives people to buy.

Codes and sales next to the clicks

Most brands issue a discount code with a deal. It's stored on the deal with the link, cleaned up to look the way the brand prints it, and put into your captions, Story stickers and YouTube descriptions by your team.

Clicks are only half the story. The brand reports the sales your link and code brought in from its own campaign portal, and those sales sit beside the clicks in the results report. When the next brand asks what you can actually sell, you have the answer from the brand's side, not just yours.

A link-in-bio page you don't have to maintain

Your link-in-bio page lives on creatorsmg.com under your handle. It has your photo and a line about you, buttons to your TikTok, Instagram and YouTube, the links your team sets up with you, and the brands' discount codes with a copy button, so a follower doesn't have to remember one.

Every link on it goes through its tracked short link, so clicks from your page are counted as their own source and you can see how much traffic comes through your bio rather than from a post. If you want, it can carry a brand inquiry form that reaches our team, and it's linked from your media kit as well.

Counted without tracking people

A click is recorded with where it came from, the visitor's country from our network provider, and whether it was a phone, a tablet or a computer. That's all. No IP address is stored, and nothing follows the person around afterwards.

Automated traffic is recognised and kept out of the totals, so a link checker or a crawler doesn't make a post look better than it did.

For brands

Know which creator sent the traffic.

Every creator on your campaign gets their own tracked link, paired with your code if you issue one. Clicks are counted per creator and per platform, and you add the sales you saw from the portal.

Per creator

One link each, so you can compare creators on the campaign directly.

Per platform

TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and link-in-bio clicks counted apart.

Your sales beside them

Report sales from your code in the portal and see them next to the clicks.

Questions

Before you ask.

What creators ask about tracked links and codes.

Do I have to use your links instead of the brand's?

For brand deals, yes, because that's how clicks are counted per platform for the brand's report. The link forwards to whatever page the brand wants, so the visitor ends up in the same place.

Can I put my own links on the link-in-bio page?

Yes. It's your page. Your own links sit alongside your brand links, and your team keeps it current with you, adding a deal's link when it starts and taking it down when you ask.

How do you know the sales?

The brand tells us, from its campaign portal, how many sales and how much revenue came from your link and code. We show what the brand reported and say so, rather than guessing.

Do you track the people who click?

No. A click is counted by where it came from, a country and a device type. No IP address is stored and nothing follows the visitor afterwards. Bots are left out of the counts.

What address does my link-in-bio page have?

It lives on creatorsmg.com under your handle, so it's easy to type and easy to read in a bio. Your media kit links to it, so a brand that finds one finds the other.
