Seeking Help Can you embed lead form for affiliate $$$?
- Thread starter Honeybadger
- Start date
Yes you can aslong as you simply iframe the advertiser’s’ tracking URL.
However, most advertisers do not allow iframe traffic.
We mainly operate in sweepstakes and dating. I don’t know a single advertiser which allows iframe traffic on their lead-gen offers. Might be different in other verticals?

ty @Franke for advice
would be good to avoid handling data
also less backend tech work
may need to contact each advertiser directly

Form POST locations can be remote but the POST URL(URI) has to accept the remote POST
This is done with a script on your server using authorization keys or tokens that will be recognized.
In simple terms: your site has to prove it's authorized as authentic to the server it posts to.
<iframe is a VERY insecure way to do this -- "embed" cross-domain is not a good way to do this at all.
It's fine to embed a video, social media post or something trivial.
You should never POST your financial data to an embed or <iframe --that is just lunacy.

I have seen that sort of thing done
For privacy reasons, in might be enter the type improvement and your zip code(postal code) or city and submit
--not personal data just data that would segment your request and give your locale.
YES!
You can set up a goal in Google Analytics to track such visits.
You can see the instructions here at Optimize Smart.
I haven't done this in G4 Analytics yet.

When you POST data; the script can easily envelope the query string (the affiliate submitted data) and the remote server IP address and a lot more.
However, some browsers and browser addons may truncate (remove) the entire /?{query} <-over that you have no control.
General practice when there is no referring domain will be determined by the POST script.
Is this a danger or can I accept the traffic as slippage and keep all of the profit?

Of a remote server --yes if the include your gtag ID
"You can route data through a server-side implementation via Tag Manager or the Google tag (gtag.js)."
Most of the time they will not --it's a complicated process

- They would need to use the page just for you; or,
- be rendering the script (GA) specifically for each affiliate; by
- enveloping the affiliate ID from a session or URL

SEE THIS:
This how it's done in GA4 from the horse's mouth.
This is done with the GA cookie so it's not going to be exact. Cookies suck they are blocked and deleted sometimes.
s2s post-backs are the right way to do this really --if you are concerned with accuracy (and not relying on cookies).
Caveat: the GA js code or the s2s post-backs can be shaved quite easily with developer scripting. All you need is a case if switch (time [all] ) or (affiliate ID [or IDs]. So, it all depends on honesty, intent and competency.
