Zapworld Click Tracker

A transparent click-tracking service by Zapworld LLC. It records ad clicks and always sends the request to exactly the destination written in the tracking URL.

What it does

Records ad clicks

Campaign, ad group, ad, keyword, device and Google click ID, captured from Google Ads ValueTrack parameters into a click log.

Redirects transparently

Every tracking URL carries its destination in the visible redirect_url parameter. The tracker redirects to that exact address, on every path.

Validates destinations

Only http(s) destinations on an allowlist of approved domains are redirected. Anything else is refused with an error page, never sent elsewhere.

Never slows visitors down

With Google Ads parallel tracking, visitors go straight to the landing page while the tracking URL is handled in the background.

How the transparent redirect works

A tracking URL looks like this. The final part, redirect_url, is the destination:

https://track.zapworld.co/c?cid=123&gclid=TEST&redirect_url=https%3A%2F%2Fzapworld.co%2F

When the URL is requested, the tracker records the click and answers with an HTTP 302 redirect whose Location is the redirect_url value, decoded once and otherwise unchanged. There are no intermediate hops, no parameters added to the destination, and no server-side setting can send the request anywhere else. Destinations outside the tracker's allowlist are refused with an error page; they are never redirected somewhere else instead.

With Google Ads parallel tracking, the visitor goes straight to the landing page. The tracking URL is requested separately in the background, so tracking never slows the visitor down.

Built for Google Ads

Parallel tracking. The tracker answers in milliseconds; nothing in the redirect path waits on another service.
ValueTrack. Reads the standard ValueTrack parameters, including {gclid}, {wbraid} and {gbraid}. Full parameter list.
Same response for everyone. Real visitors, Googlebot and Google's ad-review systems get the same redirect. Nothing changes the destination based on user agent, location or device.
HTTPS only. Every request is served over TLS; plain HTTP is upgraded to HTTPS on the same host.

Our transparency commitments

The destination is always the value of the redirect_url parameter, on every path of track.zapworld.co.
No backend destination overrides, rotators or offer switching.
No parameters are added to, removed from or changed in the destination URL.
Nested click trackers in a destination must be Google-certified and URL-encoded.
We tell Google before changing any parameter name or adding a new one.

Read the technical documentation for the exact rules.

Privacy

The redirect sets no cookies, and IP addresses are not recorded in the click log. See the privacy policy.
