Click ID Placeholder
When you are using our JS tag with Auto-Tagging activated, you can make use of our Click ID placeholder in case you want to be in full control where exactly our click IDs should be placed.
This can also be helpful if you cloak your affiliate URLs and do not want to set up our Clickout API or use our WordPress plugin. You will then need to place the subid and Click ID placeholder in the redirect URL and forward the parameter and value to the affiliate URL during the redirect process.
