Creating your first tracked link
Create a short link, attach it to a video, and start seeing clicks.
- Go to Links in your dashboard and create a new link — paste the destination URL (your affiliate link, product page, or anything you want to send viewers to).
- Give it a custom alias if you want a memorable slug instead of a random one.
- Attach the link to the video it appears in. This is what makes per-video attribution work — GoloLink can now tell you clicks came from this video, not just "somewhere."
- Put the short link in your video description (or pinned comment) instead of the raw destination URL.
From here, every click on that link is logged and shown in Analytics, broken down by video, country, device, and referrer.
One link, multiple videos
You can reuse the same short link across multiple videos and placements — GoloLink still tracks which video each click came from behind the scenes.
UTM parameters
GoloLink can automatically append UTM parameters to your destination URL, so your existing analytics (Google Analytics, Shopify, etc.) also see where traffic came from. See UTM parameters and redirects.
