Clkim Tech Implementation
Clkim Tech Implementation Rating: 5 out of 5
When it comes to its tech implementation, Clkim nails this one right on the head. The only limitation you will run into is on the lower packages, where you will not have access to some of the most advanced features that you can take advantage of.
Clkim really has gone above and beyond to give users absolutely everything that they need to be able to split test, measure and track each and every aspect of their campaigns. This allows users to experiment with and tweak every aspect of their methods until they are able to maximize their revenues.
You can set the tool to auto rotate between different ads and landing pages. This will give you an easy starting point that you can use to begin testing different methods. From there, you can call up different pages based on the user’s geo-location, or their operating systems.
It allows you to change the destination URL on the fly and create QR codes that you can use as needed. The best part about their tech implementation is how easy it is to use. You will be able to make use of all of the features in no time. The interface is clean and their tools are solid.
It is compatible across the most commonly used platforms. You can use it as a WordPress plugin, a Firefox or Chrome extension and more.
Price for Clkim
Clkim Cost Rating: 4 out of 5
The value of Clkim will strictly depend on the amount that you use it. They charge a monthly fee so higher frequency users will get a lot more value from it than occasional users. They offer four different packages that range from $10 a month and up to $100 a month.
You can pay yearly, or you can pay monthly at a 20% markup. If you anticipate taking the occasional month off from using the service, the monthly packages may be a better deal for you. If you are going to use it continuously, you can save 20% by paying for the year up front.
We recommend the annual plan for heavy users and the monthly plan for casual users or people that will be using it on an experimental basis.
Free Trial
They offer a free trial for those that want to try it out before they spend money on it. The free trial is offered for each of the packages. You will have a chance to test out all of its features without limits before you make the investment in purchasing it. We recommend that you set aside enough time to try out all the features during this trial period to make sure you will be able to monetize using this. If you are still on the fence, they have a one-month ”core” option that you can purchase for $12.
CLKIM Packages
There are four packages that you can purchase from Clkim. Each package will come with additional features for an added charge. They offer the Analyze package for $10 per month, the Optimize Package for $70 per month, and the Monetize Package for $100 per month. These are yearly purchases, so you will be asked to pay for the full 12 months upfront. Alternatively, you can opt for the month to month plans, which cost $12, $84, and $120 respectively.
We recommend starting with the free trial at first and then purchasing a one-month plan. Once you are able to increase your revenues, switch to a yearly plan to save some money.
The Analyze Package is best for beginners and very light users. It’s so cheap that it’s hard to go wrong there. It offers you the ability to brand your links (increase your links CTR by 35%!) plus gain access to their full analytics.
The Optimize Package is for advanced advertisers that utilize UTM tracking and retargeting / remarketing technologies. This package includes all of the features that Analyze and will also allow you retarget users on click. This means you can now begin segmenting audiences based on the fact they simply clicked on your link.
This is highly effective for users that are sending traffic directly to the app stores, Amazon, eBay etc. – essentially any property which does not let you add your own pixels on them.
With Clkim Optimize you can now paint these users and build highly segmented retargeting list – to which you will be able to continue to advertise your offers and make sure you retain the attribution you have been working so hard for!
The Monetize Package is what you should be aiming for. The Monetize Package has all of the features that you could ask for. It has the full gauntlet of monetization options that you can use to maximize your profits. It also comes with a hands-on account manager who will help you with your projects. This is key if you are looking to scale your successful campaigns up.

Account Support
Clkim Account Support Rating: 5 out of 5
Clkim provides Email support to all of its users. It also provides live chat support for all of their paying customers.
Both their live chat and email support is great. They will typically respond to all questions within 24 hours, and their live chat will have agents working round the clock. Their support team is knowledgeable and in our experience, they knew enough about the tool to help with each of the questions we had.
If you buy the Expert Package, you will have an account manager available to oversee your account. We found it to be helpful to have an extra set of eyes tracking your projects to keep things organized. Think of it as a virtual assistant that you don’t have to train beforehand - it’s a nice bonus, but not critical to the success of your project.
Pros of Using Clkim
- Provides advanced tracking that you can use to split test your campaigns to perfection.
- Extremely fast and easy to use. Its interface is well-designed.

For example, social content curators can share links to popular websites like Facebook, CNN, Mashable, etc. and monetize with their own full page interstitial ad – that they fully control – both branding and the monetization content!
Cons of Using Clkim
- The monthly charges aren’t ideal, but it’s certainly worth it if you use it the right way.
- It doesn’t provide a direct monetization method. It does, however, create opportunities to monetize by integrating with other revenue streams for those that use their expert package.
