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.wecantrack.com/user/data-source/networks/dreamhost/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.
