Coug Network Links

Coug Network Links creates a separate trackable link for every platform in a network campaign. Enter one destination, add your platforms, and compare where and when your audience clicks without relying on an external tracking service.

Why did I create this plugin?

I needed to measure precisely how much traffic each of my platforms sent to the same destination. I wanted to know which networks actually generated clicks, which days performed best, and when my audience responded most.

Existing solutions often felt too complex, too focused on affiliate marketing, or dependent on external services. I created Coug Network Links to provide a simple, self-hosted answer to that real need. I now share it so creators, freelancers, bloggers, and small businesses can understand where their traffic comes from without another subscription or complicated tool.
