Site Tracking Explained: How VidWorth Attributes Clicks Beyond One Landing Page

A tracked-link click and a site-tracking event are two different things in VidWorth, and mixing them up leads to double-counting or missed attribution.

The tracked link click happens at the moment of redirect — VidWorth logs it before sending the visitor on to wherever the link points.

Site tracking picks up from there: it's shown as working in this workspace, with 189 tracked events recorded at one snapshot, and it logs events on the destination site itself — a page view, a scroll, a button click, whatever the site is set up to report — regardless of which platform sent that visitor.

Why the "regardless of platform" part matters: because site tracking isn't tied to the tracked-link click specifically, it can register activity from a visitor who arrived through a YouTube tracked link, a direct visit, or another route entirely. That makes it useful for understanding what happens on your own site after the click, but it's not itself the video-level attribution join — that join happens through utm_content on the tracked link, not through site tracking alone.

Quick answers

Does site tracking replace the need for a tracked link? No — the tracked link is what carries the video ID; site tracking observes what happens after someone lands, whatever brought them there.

Is 189 events a lot? That number reflects one workspace at one point in time — treat it as an example of what's shown as working, not a benchmark to compare against.

Do I need to install anything separately for site tracking to work? Check your current dashboard for the exact setup step — this describes what the feature does, not a step-by-step install guide.
