Description Links That
Tell You the Full Story.
YouTube creators use trimy to track which description links actually get clicked, attribute affiliate and merch revenue by video, and manage sponsor segment URLs that need to change after upload.
Your Best-Performing Video Is Driving Affiliate Sales — But You Can't Prove Which One
Every video description has the same affiliate link. Every sponsor reads the same URL. You have no way to know which video drives the most affiliate clicks, which sponsor mention converts best, or whether your pinned comment link is doing anything at all.
How trimy Helps YouTube Creators Teams
Per-Video Link Attribution
Create a unique tracked link for each video's description. Same affiliate destination, different tracking link per video. See exactly which video drives affiliate clicks and plan your content calendar accordingly.
Sponsor Segment Links You Can Update Live
Sponsors sometimes change their landing page mid-campaign. With trimy, update the destination URL of any link — even after the video is published and indexed. No re-editing, no unlisting.
Merch and Course Links That Track Sales Funnels
Add tracking to your merch store, Patreon, or online course links. See whether your YouTube traffic converts better than your newsletter or Instagram — and double down on what works.
On-Screen QR Codes for End Cards
Generate a branded QR code for end cards or overlays. Viewers scan directly from their phone while watching on TV or desktop. Track scans as a separate channel from description clicks.
How It Works
Create a Link per Video
Before publishing, create a trimy link for each affiliate or sponsor URL — tagged with the video title or ID. Paste the short link into the description.
Publish Your Video
Upload and publish as normal. Your description contains the tracked trimy link. Viewers click it; trimy records each click with device, country, and referrer data.
Update Sponsor URLs Anytime
If a sponsor changes their landing page, update the destination in trimy in seconds. All historical clicks remain recorded; all future clicks go to the new page.
Compare Videos and Channels
View analytics per link to see which video drives the most affiliate clicks. Compare sponsor performance across videos. Share the numbers with sponsors to justify your rates.
AI-Suggested Link Titles and UTM Tags
trimy AI can suggest a descriptive title and UTM parameters for each new video link — so your analytics stay organised without manual tagging. Works best when you paste the video title into the link creation form.
Upgrade to unlockFrequently Asked Questions
Can I track which video in my backlog drives the most affiliate clicks?
Yes. Create a unique trimy link per video, all pointing to the same affiliate destination. Analytics are tracked per link, so you can compare any two videos in the same dashboard.
What if I need to update a sponsor's URL after the video is published?
Edit the destination URL on any trimy link at any time. All printed or published references to the short link — including video descriptions, pinned comments, and end cards — immediately point to the new destination.
Can I create QR codes for video end cards or overlays?
Yes. Generate a QR code for any trimy link. Embed it in your video as a static overlay or end-card graphic. Scans are tracked separately from link clicks so you see both channels in analytics.
Does trimy work with YouTube's own analytics?
Yes — they complement each other. YouTube Analytics tells you video performance (views, watch time, revenue); trimy tells you what those viewers did after clicking your description links. Together you get the full funnel.
Can I track clicks from pinned comments separately?
Yes. Create a separate trimy link specifically for pinned comments (e.g., /video-comment vs. /video-desc). Analytics are tracked per link, so you see description vs. comment click performance independently.
