# How To Use CoHost Tracking Links

## CoHost Tracking Links allow you to gain visibility into which of your marketing channels drive podcast downloads through our click-to-download attribution.

To get started with CoHost's Tracking Links, follow these simple instructions:

### **Creating CoHost Tracking Links**

#### 1) Head over to "Tracking Links" on the left-hand sidebar. ![file-sjmu4mbdlo](https://help.cohostpodcasting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/file-sjmu4mbdlo.png?width=670&height=408&name=file-sjmu4mbdlo.png)

#### 2) Click "Create a tracking link" on the top right of your library.

#### 3) Choose whether you would like to promote your entire show or a specific episode.

Keep in mind that you can only promote episodes that have already been published. If you select “Entire Show” then the tracking link will measure all downloads that come from it to your podcast. If you select “Specific Episode” then only downloads to that specific episode will be tracked.

#### 4) Choose the source of where you are promoting the link.

Choose any platform (source) to promote your tracking link. If any of our pre-populated sources don’t suit, create a custom one by clicking “Other” and typing where you are promoting the link.

Note: Clicks and downloads will be tracked under the source you choose, so you can make this as specific or broad as you would like.

#### 4) Choose a name for your link. This will show up in your link analytics to help you track performance.

#### 5) Add links for each of the listening apps you would like to direct your listeners to.

Remember to grab the episode-specific link on each of the listening apps if you are promoting a specific episode.
