Manage links, build product displays, find opportunities and track affiliate performance.
Lasso + Affiliate Analytics
Monetize the content. Understand the site.
Lasso helps affiliate publishers manage links, product displays and monetization workflows. Affiliate Analytics helps you understand what those clicks mean across the wider WordPress site.
If Lasso is already part of your workflow, you do not need to replace it. Add a dedicated analytics layer when you want to connect affiliate activity with pages, visitors, traffic sources and broader site performance.
Two tools. Different layers.
Connect affiliate activity with pages, visitors, traffic sources and audience context.
Different jobs
Lasso helps monetize affiliate content. Affiliate Analytics helps explain what is happening around it.
Lasso is built as an affiliate marketing toolkit for publishers. Its WordPress workflow covers affiliate links, product displays, comparison tables, link health, monetization opportunities and performance features.
Affiliate Analytics starts from a different question: what is happening across the site around the affiliate activity? That means looking beyond the individual link or product display and connecting affiliate clicks with pages, visitors, sessions, traffic sources and audience dimensions.
There is meaningful overlap in analytics, but the products approach the problem from different layers. For some publishers, that makes them useful together rather than mutually exclusive.
