Hello, is anyone running Impact Radius affiliate links in Google ADS?

I am able to get my ads approved with a tracking template, and I see clicks on Google Ads, I see clicks on my tracking tool and also clicks show up under Raw clicks in Impact.

Does anyone have a method or a fix for the parallel tracking? Other platforms changed their tracking model, however impact sucks and direct linking seems to no longer work.
 
So with parallel tracking Google loads the final URL while sending tracking info separately in the background. Impact doesnt seem to handle that well anymore with direct links. But what we do is send traffic to a simple page (on our site ) (like something like /go/offer....) that instantly redirects to the Impact link, that way, Google sees it as a clean domain, and Impact still gets the full tracking. You just add your tracking template at the account or campaign level and it works fine. Not sure if that would help but from our experience you should give it a try

The domain has to be certified in order to use it in a redirect path, as a tracking template. So that does not work anymore. I wonder if some additional parameters would work. At this point nothing seems to work.

Have you found any solution on this? Thank you
 
Impact’s tracking templates work, but parallel tracking often eats the clicks—tweak your URLs carefully.
 
Direct linking with Impact is basically dead now, you need a proper tracker in between.
 
Some people use a short redirect or lightweight landing to pass through clicks before Impact.
 
Make sure your final URL and tracking template aren’t conflicting; Google hates double redirects.
 
Honestly, patience and testing different template setups is key, Impact doesn’t play nice with Ads.
 
What services do you trust for using their platform for tracking? Something that will work on google ads without any issues?

What do you mean? Even if you would straight up run the affiliate link as the tracking template - it would still eat the click. Pretty much dead no matter what, unless I guess you go white hat and use a landing page in between the offer
