Category clarity

“Affiliate tracking” can mean two different products

Metricanic is for the media-buying side of affiliate and performance marketing. That distinction matters when you are choosing software.

Metricanic fits here

Ad tracker / CPA campaign tracker

Used by a buyer to measure purchased traffic, route visits, test funnels, receive conversions, join cost with payout, and find profitable or wasteful campaign segments.

  • Traffic sources and campaign links
  • Landing pages, offers, rotators, and paths
  • Cost, payout, revenue, profit, ROI, and CPA

A different category

Affiliate program management

Used by a merchant or network to recruit publishers, create partner links, attribute referrals, manage commissions, and pay affiliates. Metricanic is not this type of platform.

If you buy traffic from sources such as native, push, pop, search, social, or display and send it through landers to CPA offers, you are looking for the first category.

Ad tracker questions

Answers about paid-traffic tracking, CPA campaigns, routing, postbacks, and the role of AI.

What is an ad tracker for media buying?

An ad tracker records the paid-traffic path from visit to click and conversion, joins traffic cost with payout or revenue, and lets a buyer analyze performance by campaign, source, placement, creative, geo, device, landing page, offer, and other buying dimensions.

Is a CPA tracker different from affiliate management software?

Yes. A CPA campaign tracker helps a media buyer measure and optimize purchased traffic. Affiliate management software usually helps a merchant or network recruit partners, attribute partner referrals, and calculate commissions. Metricanic belongs to the first category.

Can Metricanic track landing pages and offers?

Yes. Metricanic connects campaigns, traffic sources, rotator paths, landing pages, offers, visits, clicks, events, goals, payouts, costs, and postbacks in one reporting workflow.

Does Metricanic support server-to-server postbacks?

Yes. Goal rules can define conversion behavior, payout and cost handling, stored event values, and postback URLs that use macros from visit and event context.

Can I use Metricanic without an AI connection?

Yes. Tracking, routing, reporting, event goals, postbacks, and automation rules work as the core tracker workflow. The ChatGPT and Claude connection is an additional analysis layer on eligible plans.
