Trackback Discovery

Trackback Discovery — every referrer, every sub-affiliate, every hidden traffic source.

Map the traffic your tracker never attributed. Trackback Discovery surfaces undeclared referrers, hidden sub-affiliates and the partner sites quietly driving your conversions — then feeds them back into the attribution you already trust.

What it maps

The traffic your attribution platform stopped before it got to you.

Referrer analysis

Identify every domain that sent traffic to your site across your affiliate programme — including domains that were stripped from the referrer chain before your tracker recorded the visit. Full referrer history, not just the last hop.

Sub-affiliate mapping

Build a complete picture of the networks sitting behind your master affiliates — every declared and undeclared sub-partner surfaced, so you know exactly who is driving traffic under each affiliate's tracking tag before it becomes a compliance or quality issue.

Attribution repair

Feed discovered referrer and sub-affiliate data back into your existing tracker — so conversions that were previously attributed to the master affiliate are correctly credited to the actual origin, improving LTV calculations and commission accuracy across the board.

Undeclared-traffic detection

Flag partner sites and traffic sources that are sending conversions to your programme without disclosure — giving you the evidence needed to enforce your programme terms, renegotiate commission structures or terminate where appropriate.

Undeclared traffic

If you can't see where the traffic came from, you can't price it, manage it or trust it.

Most affiliate trackers record the last click and stop there. Trackback Discovery works backwards from the conversion — tracing the referrer chain to its origin, identifying every domain in the path, and surfacing the sub-affiliates and undisclosed partners that your existing tools never captured.

The result feeds directly into your existing attribution setup: no platform migration, no tracking rebuild. Conversions that were previously a black box become attributed, manageable and commercially actionable — with a full audit trail for every discovery.

Outcomes

What affiliate and marketing teams find when they run Trackback Discovery.

Hidden conversions attributed

Conversions previously credited to master affiliates re-attributed to the actual origin domains — restoring accuracy to your commission data and giving you a true picture of which traffic sources are performing for your programme.

Sub-affiliate visibility

A complete map of every declared and undeclared sub-partner operating under your affiliate programme — so you can assess quality, enforce disclosure requirements and decide which relationships to formalise, renegotiate or end.

Commercial leverage on partners

Armed with data showing which undeclared sites are generating your conversions, you have the commercial basis to restructure agreements, introduce direct relationships and stop paying master affiliate commissions on traffic they didn't originate.

Accurate LTV

When attribution is correct, lifetime value calculations reflect the actual acquisition source — giving your finance and analytics teams the accurate cohort data needed for budgeting, bidding and long-term programme planning.

We knew we had sub-affiliates we couldn't see — we just didn't know how many or what they were doing. Trackback Discovery mapped the entire network in the first week. Several of those sites were sending us quality traffic and getting zero credit for it. We restructured two agreements off the back of that data alone.

Why Rightlander

Trackback Discovery works with your existing setup — not instead of it.

Deep referrer chains

Traces the full referrer path back to origin — not just the last known hop. Every domain in the chain is identified, not just the one your tracker caught before attribution was recorded.

Works with existing trackers

Trackback Discovery feeds attribution corrections back into the tracking system you already use — no platform migration, no rebuild, no disruption to your existing reporting infrastructure.

Same scan surface

Trackback Discovery runs on the same continuous scan infrastructure as Rightlander Compliance and Optimise — so adding it to your programme adds capability without adding a new data silo or a separate vendor relationship.

See the traffic your programme has been running blind to.
