How to integrate Dreamhost affiliate conversions in Google Analytics

In order for us to Dreamhost conversions in Google Analytics and other marketing tools you use, it is necessary to attribute your sales data to the traffic data from your websites or landing pages. Our system automatically places SubIDs in all your affiliate links, which enables us to automatically match your traffic and affiliate conversion data.

The installation is done in four simple steps:

  1. Create a wecantrack account
  2. Connect your Dreamhost account to our system via API
  3. Connect your website to our system
  4. Activate the integration feature

 

If you would like to connect your Dreamhost publisher account to wecantrack you need to give us your account’s API key and Network ID for each of your Dreamhost affiliate accounts. Those credentials need to be filled in within our data sources page which you can find by following this link: https://app.wecant​rack.com/user/data​-source/networks/d​reamhost/accounts/​create

You can give each of the data connections different names and tags which enables you to easily filter your data on account or sub account level.

  • WordPress and developer-focused content publishers with high-volume DreamHost click activity who need clean SubID attribution for paid acquisition.
  • Paid media buyers running Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, or Meta to DreamHost landing pages and needing one-time CPA commission data flowing back for hosting-vertical ROAS optimisation.
  • YouTube and newsletter creators reviewing web hosts and recommending DreamHost who need session-level commission data alongside their DreamHost dashboards.
  • Existing wecantrack customers adding DreamHost alongside other web hosting affiliate programs (Bluehost, SiteGround, Hostinger) for unified hosting-vertical attribution.
