Requirements for becoming a Premium Partner

Please see the partner info page about the generic requirements for becoming a Brickwatch Partner.

You will only be charged per click through an ongoing agreement. The service has no start-up fee and can be cancelled any time per end of the current month.

Invoicing agreement

Invoicing will be done monthly, or quarterly for partners in good standing.

CPC based billing is done based on the logging system of Brickwatch.
We have a system that logs all the clicks which go out to the shops, that is when we send a visitor to one of your product pages. All clicks are logged by time, shop and product.

We do not count multiple clicks from a single IP address to the same product for the same shop within the same minute, and robots are blocked from following outgoing links, as well as not logged.

Differences in tracking

We follow industry standards in tracking the outgoing links. If your analytics system shows different results than our system, this might be due to the following reasons:

• Not all browsers set the Referer header, used by e.g. Google Analytics to track the origin of a click.
• Analytics programs like Google Analytics try to count the number of visitors on a page, compared to actual page-visits. Especially when a user visits multiple sets on your site through the Brickwatch tracking system within a short timespan, the Analytics service might count it as one visit.
• A lot of links are from email-notifications. They go through the Brickwatch tracking system, but are often not counted as such by analytics programs.
• Users might have enables the Do-Not-Track setting in their browser, preventing some analytics services from tracking the user.
• Whenever an error occurs between redirecting the user to your site and counting the visit on your end (e.g. broken internet connection, javascript errors on your end, cancellation of the page load), the visit is not counted in your analytics service, but is counted in the Brickwatch tracking system.
