Question 1

Why do I need Smart Link if I already have a link shortener?

Accepted Answer

Traditional shorteners just count clicks. Smart Link tracks OS data, geolocation, device type, and referrer metrics so you know the real intent behind your traffic — not just the volume.

Question 2

How is Smart Link different from ClickMagick or Voluum?

Accepted Answer

Smart Link combines link tracking, geo targeting, bot protection, A/B testing, bio pages, and creator monetization in one free platform — replacing tools that individually cost $99-$149/month.

Question 3

How does device targeting increase conversions?

Accepted Answer

Instead of showing two buttons, you create one Smart Link. We detect the device and route iOS users to the App Store and Android users to Google Play — reducing friction and increasing conversions.

Question 4

Can I track clicks for free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Smart Link provides real-time analytics for all your links including device, location, and click-through data completely free.

Question 5

Can I use my own custom domain?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can connect your own domain (e.g., links.yourbrand.com) to maintain full brand consistency across all touchpoints.

Question 6

What is the best alternative to ClickMagick in 2026?

Accepted Answer

Smart Link is the best ClickMagick alternative in 2026, offering enterprise-grade bot protection, sub-ID tracking, and A/B testing with a free core tier, saving you $99/mo.

Question 7

How to block bot traffic from Facebook and Google ads?

Accepted Answer

You can block bot traffic by using an affiliate tracking platform with a Datacenter Shield. Smart Link automatically detects and blocks scrapers and VPN traffic, ensuring your pixels only fire for real humans.

Question 8

How to track affiliate links without a website?

Accepted Answer

You don't need a website to track affiliate links. You can use Smart Link to create a free Link-in-Bio page, add your tracked affiliate links to it, and share that single bio link on your social media profiles.

Question 9

Is Linktree good for affiliate marketing?

Accepted Answer

Linktree is basic and lacks deep analytics. For serious affiliate marketing, you need a platform like Smart Link that provides granular tracking (OS, device, geo), bot protection, and direct A/B testing within your bio page.

Question 10

How to route traffic based on country and device?

Accepted Answer

Using the Smart Link routing engine, you can set rules to redirect users from the US to Offer A, and users from the UK to Offer B, all under a single tracking link. You can also route based on iOS vs Android.
