7 Ooh.li Link Essentials


With Linqia's pay-per-click (PPC) model, we pay you for the authentic traffic you send to a brand’s landing page. For each program, we'll provide you with a unique tracking pixel called an  ooh.li link so we can accurately track your valid clicks across all your channels during the program. We ask that you remember to incorporate your ooh.li links into each program are two main reasons: 

  1. All valid traffic from your posts to the brand's landing page are driven through these links; and 
  2. Linqia influencers are compensated based on the amount of traffic they drive. As a result, correct placement and usage of Ooh.li links is the most effective way to maximize your earnings with Linqia.

Read on for a list of best practices to help you incorporate your Ooh.li links into your next Linqia program:


1. Share Your Personal Ooh.Li Link 

The most important rule of using Ooh.li links is to only use the one personalized for the program’s landing page. If you drive traffic using a link other than your Ooh.li link, you won’t be compensated for traffic driven to the page. If you can’t find your Ooh.li link in your Linqia dashboard, read this short tutorial or reach out to your program support team for help.

2. Link Your Ooh.li At Least 5 Times 

Placing your Ooh.li link in at least 5 areas of your post increases the likelihood of readers clicking through. Linqia influencers find the most engagement when they link in the beginning (in the headline or first sentence), middle (in the meat of the story) and end (in the call to action for more info) of a post.

3. Link Phrases Rather Than Words

Linking phrases can increase traffic, as phrases draw more attention to the hyperlinked text. We also recommend linking action phrases, particularly those relating to program landing page content, to encourage readers to take action. For example, in a pasta sauce program with extra recipes on the landing page it’s better to link  the phrase “Check out other ways to use this sauce” rather than just “sauce,” or “dinner.”

4. Always Hyperlink Images 

Include photos in all of your Linqia program posts and link them with your unique Ooh.li link. Research shows that  images are effective and engaging – colored visuals increase someone’s willingness to read an article by 80%. We recommend four or more images per post as past programs show that influencers see increased engagement in posts with four or more photos.

5. Include Ooh.li In All Social Media Posts

Including your Ooh.li link in all your social posts related to the program is another great way to drive traffic. Link program pins with Ooh.li links on Pinterest or include them in Facebook posts and tweets on Twitter. Because Instagram does not support live links in the photo captions, many influencers put the Ooh.li link in their profile bios and direct followers there in the captions of program Instagram posts.

6. Use Link Shorteners Carefully

If you do choose to use shorteners in your posts, make sure to shorten your Ooh.li links and not the program landing page URL. Keep in mind that services like Bit.ly will show a higher click count than Ooh.li links because they do not filter out bot and fraud traffic. As a result, it’s not uncommon for Bit.ly click counts and Ooh.li click counts to differ.

7. Do Not Participate In "Click Groups" Or Ask Anyone To Click Your Link 

While it is important to have a strong call to action that encourages readers to learn more, it is against the Linqia Terms of Use to directly ask readers to click on your Ooh.li link. Brands love working with Linqia because our influencers inspire action through amazing stories, beautiful photography, and organically grown relationships with their audiences. If you need help constructing a compelling call-to-action, reach out to the program support team for inspiration.
