Help & support

TrendMD directs additional visitors to your website(s) via clicks on your internal links, which are distributed on third-party websites in the network. Your credit balance decreases by 1 credit when a click occurs on a link to your content featured on a third-party site. Traffic growth is calculated by dividing the additional visitors directed to a website through the TrendMD widget by the baseline traffic on that site.

Can I track where these visitors are coming from?
Yes - you can track which website(s) and from what articles on third-party sites we are referring visitors from.

After logging in to your dashboard:
Click on the numbers in the “Backlinks” column

Click on “sponsored” button in the window. This window contains a list of the articles where your sponsored link is showing up in. Links to your article will change overtime; even though links to your article may have been seen in the widget results of another article at one point in time, it may have since moved based on clickstream data. See here for details on how we generate recommendations.

Additional pageviews are generated when visitors click on recommended links to your content.

Sponsored recommendations, like all TrendMD recommendations, are links to high quality scholarly content. Customers pay us to distribute these recommendations across our publisher partners and they are clearly marked as sponsored links. TrendMD has strict content guidelines to ensure we are only promoting quality scholarly content. Our goal is to provide your readers with links to great content, whether from your site(s) or third-party publishers.
