Launch a campaign on your own domain
The full path from a bare domain to a campaign you can measure: connect the domain, brand the link, stamp your SubIDs, and read the numbers.
1. Connect your domain
Go to Domains and add the domain or subdomain you want your links on — something like go.mybrand.com. Add the CNAME record shown in the dashboard at your DNS provider. SSL is provisioned for you; the domain flips to Active once DNS validates.
DNS can take a while to propagate. You don't have to wait — create your links on the shared hostname now and switch them to your domain once it's active.
2. Create a project for the campaign
On Projects, create one for this campaign and set your new domain as its default. Every link you create inside the project pre-selects the right domain — one less thing to get wrong at 2am.
3. Create the link
Hit c or Create link. Paste the network URL as the destination, pick a slug your audience won't mind seeing (spring-sale beats x7k2), and save. Batch of links to move? Use Bulk import — up to 100 per paste.
4. Stamp your attribution
Open the link's details panel and add SubIDs so your network's postback tells you where each conversion came from. A useful default: key s1 with value email-{date:YYYYMMDD} — every click carries its source and its date, automatically.
5. Send traffic and read the numbers
Test the short link in an incognito tab first — you should land on the offer in under a second. Then launch. Clicks show up in Analytics within about 30 seconds, broken down by country, device, and referrer.
From here, Health checks watch the destination daily and flag it if the offer dies — you'll see it marked broken in the dashboard instead of finding out from your EPC.
