The Tracking URL is the URL generated by LinkTrust and issued to affiliates. Traffic is passed through this URL which facilitates tracking. The URL is set up when your account was created and it uses the custom domain you pointed to LinkTrust and points to http://YourCustomDomain/click.track. This URL is automatically populated into creatives if you use the [=TrackingURL=] token. Your Tracking URL can be used in Standard URL or SEO URL format. You can find your tracking URL in Publish > Settings on the left-hand side of Campaign Settings.
