Hi, thank you for taking your time to make this video - liked!
I am a bit confused about the setup is this the On-Premise or Cloud option with the plugin?

[@jasonfoss]

Thanks!
It's neither, technically! This is the Matomo for WordPress option. It's done via their WordPress plugin and installs it as part of the WordPress database.

Thanks so much for this video. I will try it out. Is there any cost involved? Or is it always free?

[@jasonfoss]

There are costs if you need to purchase upgraded plugins for extra functionality - but if all you need is the basic stuff then it's free! I don't know about *always*... You'd need to ask them about that! :)

Does this track how long they stay on a page?
What if i have an affiliate link on my page?
Is there any way to track if they click the link or button?
Like maybe a UTM parameter to add to the affiliate link?

[@jasonfoss]

1 - Pretty sure it does, yeah
2 - You can track outbound links, if that's what you mean :)
3 - Same is 2 - yes you can
4 - UTMs are useful for tracking links in to your website, but not outbound.
Cheers!

You might need to open a ticket with them - they will no doubt have some specific things to work though with you.
