This factor is a yes/no check for whether the page carries a recognized Belboon ad-tracking link. It returns 1 when RankGear finds a Belboon adtracking URL in the rendered body and 0 when it does not — detection only, not a judgment of whether the partnership is disclosed or the link actually works.

What it measures
This factor detects a recognized Belboon ad-tracking URL on the page. Belboon is an affiliate network, and its adtracking links are the redirect endpoints that attribute a referred sale back to the publisher. A page that carries one is monetizing through Belboon’s affiliate program; a page that does not is, as far as this signal can tell, not.
How RankGear measures it
RankGear searches the rendered, script-free page body case-insensitively for an HTTP or HTTPS URL on a www host — with optional trailing digits — at belboon.de/adtracking. The first match scores the factor 1; no match scores 0.
What RankGear looks for
https?://www\d*\.belboon\.de/adtracking...
<a href="https://www.belboon.de/adtracking/...">Partner offer</a>
<a href="http://www2.belboon.de/adtracking/...">Partner offer</a>| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 1 | A Belboon adtracking URL matching the pattern was found in the page body. |
| 0 | No matching Belboon adtracking URL was found. |
How to optimize it
Treat this as an observation about how the page is monetized, not a score to inflate. Where Belboon links belong, use them only for relevant, disclosed partnerships, and apply suitable sponsored relationship markup (for example rel="sponsored") on the link. Do not add affiliate links a page has no editorial reason to carry — presence of the signal reflects a business relationship, not page quality.
Important considerations
- Other Belboon link formats may not match this specific
adtrackingpattern and can be missed. - Presence of the URL does not verify a working conversion path — the link may be broken, expired, or misconfigured.
- Detection is not an endorsement of the merchant, the offer, or the page.
- Review disclosure compliance and destination quality separately; this factor does not check either.
- Correlation is not causation. This is a boolean presence signal within a measured result set, not a lever that makes a page rank or a guarantee of any position.
