How to connect ArtisanClo to your Post Affiliate Pro

ArtisanClo sits on your site and decides who may reach the offer. Post Affiliate Pro keeps running your campaigns as before and reports every conversion back to ArtisanClo — so CR and revenue show up in your cloaking statistics right next to the bots that were filtered out.

How a visit flows

ArtisanClo decides on your site, before the visit ever reaches Post Affiliate Pro. After that, the visit follows your campaign as usual.

A visit from an ad link

A person or a reviewer clicks the ad and lands on your site.

The check on your site

The ArtisanClo JS tag or PHP file sends the visit to be checked: person or bot.

ArtisanClo

ArtisanClo decides

A person gets a visit label and the offer link; everyone else gets the White Page.

Post Affiliate Pro campaign and offer

A person moves on to your Post Affiliate Pro campaign carrying the visit label, and Post Affiliate Pro sends them to the offer as usual.

White Page

Bots, reviewers and spy services get the White Page and never reach Post Affiliate Pro.

How to connect

Your site connects to ArtisanClo the usual way — with the JS tag or the PHP file. For conversions to come back from Post Affiliate Pro, there are four more steps: in the ArtisanClo flow and in your Post Affiliate Pro account.

  1. 01

    Select Post Affiliate Pro in the flow

    In an ArtisanClo flow in “Cloaking” mode, open the “Tracker” step, go to the “External tracker” block and pick Post Affiliate Pro from the list.

  2. 02

    Add the visit label to the offer link

    The offer link leads to your Post Affiliate Pro campaign. The “Add to the link” button appends the visit label to every offer in the flow, and the field turns green.

  3. 03

    Paste the notification address into Post Affiliate Pro

    The link in the status line opens a window with the address. Copy it and paste it into your Post Affiliate Pro account; the “?” button next to the tracker list shows exactly where.

  4. 04

    Wait for the first conversion

    Once Post Affiliate Pro reports it, the status line says “Conversions are already coming in”, and CR and revenue appear in your cloaking statistics.

What ArtisanClo adds to your tracker

Post Affiliate Pro keeps running your campaigns and counting conversions. ArtisanClo answers one question — who is behind the visit — and explains the answer.

  • A trust score for every visit

    Network, device and browser signals add up to a trust score; VPNs, proxies, data centers and robot browsers are caught along the way. The check runs on your site, so Post Affiliate Pro only receives visits that have already been sorted.

  • Shared memory of bots

    When an ad-review service, a platform robot or a program posing as a browser is identified with certainty in any account, its next visit to your flow gets the White Page at once. Real people with a doubtful network, a VPN or no JavaScript never go into this memory.

  • Shield and auto-shield

    While a review is running, only visits with the platform's click ID — fbclid, gclid, ttclid and more — reach the offer. Auto-shield raises the shield on its own when review traces spike above the usual level.

  • A reason for every decision

    Each click in the log carries one of 83 reasons, and its breakdown shows at which step the visit was stopped — you see which check fired, not just that one did.

How to get started

From the free trial to the first conversions in your cloaking statistics.

  1. 01

    Start the free trial

    Working with Post Affiliate Pro is already available on it.

  2. 02

    Create a flow in ArtisanClo

    Pick the traffic source, the White Page and “Cloaking” mode, and use your Post Affiliate Pro campaign as the offer link.

  3. 03

    Connect your site and Post Affiliate Pro

    Put the JS tag or PHP file from the connection window on your site, then select Post Affiliate Pro in the “Tracker” step and paste the notification address into your Post Affiliate Pro account.

  4. 04

    Watch CR and revenue

    Conversions from Post Affiliate Pro appear in your cloaking statistics — next to every visit's decision and its reason.

If you ever want everything in one place

ArtisanClo has a tracker built in. In “Cloaking + Tracker” mode the flow itself counts clicks, spend, conversions, profit and ROI and takes postbacks from affiliate networks — with no server of your own.

Frequently asked questions

01

How does ArtisanClo work together with Post Affiliate Pro?

ArtisanClo sits on your site and decides who may reach the offer. The offer link leads to your Post Affiliate Pro campaign and carries a visit label; Post Affiliate Pro sends the person to the offer as usual and remembers the label. When a conversion comes in, Post Affiliate Pro reports it to ArtisanClo on its own. To ArtisanClo, your tracker is what a traffic source is to a tracker.

02

Do I need to change anything in my Post Affiliate Pro campaigns?

No. Campaigns, offers and their settings stay in Post Affiliate Pro as they are. You only paste the ArtisanClo notification address into your Post Affiliate Pro account once — it is shared by all your flows.

03

What is a visit label and why is it needed?

It is a number ArtisanClo gives every visit. It travels to Post Affiliate Pro with the offer link and comes back with the conversion — that is how ArtisanClo knows which visit brought the lead or the sale. The “Add to the link” button appends the label to every offer in the flow.

04

How do I know everything is set up?

Check the status line in the “Tracker” step. “Conversions are already coming in” means you are done. If notifications arrive but no visits match them, make sure the visit label is in the offer link and the address in Post Affiliate Pro was pasted as is, without edits.

05

What happens to bots and reviewers?

They get the White Page right on your site and never reach Post Affiliate Pro. You can see why a visit was turned away in the ArtisanClo click log: every visit has its reason, and the click breakdown shows the step where it was stopped.

06

Part of my traffic runs through Keitaro or Binom. Is that fine?

Yes. The external tracker is chosen in each flow separately, so some flows can work with Post Affiliate Pro and others with Keitaro or Binom. Keitaro and Binom also have their own connection methods: a stream filter in Keitaro and a gate in the Binom landing.

07

Which plan includes the Post Affiliate Pro connection?

It works from the free trial and on paid plans. Paid plans are paid in cryptocurrency, and clicks are not billed.

08

Can I move to the built-in tracker later?

Yes. Switch the flow to “Cloaking + Tracker”, and ArtisanClo counts clicks, spend, conversions and ROI itself. While you keep Post Affiliate Pro, its conversions show up in the cloaking statistics.
