Ask How many sub-IDs should I use for Adult affiliate campaigns?

[Daniel084]

When running adult affiliate campaigns, the number of sub-IDs depends on how detailed you want your tracking to be. Sub-IDs help you track where your traffic comes from, like specific ads, websites, or campaigns. Using a few sub-IDs, maybe three to five, is often enough to start. This lets you see which sources bring the best clicks or conversions without making things too complex. For example, you could use one sub-ID for a banner ad, another for a social media post, and one for an email campaign. If you use too many, it might be hard to manage the data. Start small, analyze what works, and add more sub-IDs if you need deeper insights. The key is to keep it simple while learning what drives results. What are your thoughts on organizing sub-IDs for campaigns?

For Adult affiliate campaigns, sub-IDs let you see exactly where your traffic and conversions come from. You should assign at least one sub-ID for each ad network or traffic source. Beyond that, you can track ad creative variations, landing page versions, and GEO targeting. Using 8–12 sub-IDs per campaign usually provides enough granularity without creating messy data. The goal is to have a clear picture of performance, so you can scale winners and stop underperformers. Too few sub-IDs make analysis difficult, and too many can slow down decision-making.

Here's the casual pro move: break it down by variable. Assign one sub-ID for traffic source, another for placement, another for creative, another for device, another for time of day. That's 5 right there. Scale to 10–15 as you test offers and pre-landers. Once you find a winner, drill down. For example, if mobile converts, spin off 5 sub-IDs just for carrier or OS.
