Why did my Linkly clicks suddenly drop?
The Linkly help pages give 4 common reasons. The first to rule out: Clicks are counted only when people go through a Linkly short link, so visitors who use the original address are not counted.

How does Linkly work with Feder?
- Connect Linkly to Feder and it joins your Visits apps.
- When you connect Linkly, Feder checks the connection straight away and shows Connected only when that check passes. If a reading cannot be taken later, Feder shows it as not read, never as zero.
Some numbers are too quiet to judge daily, such as a form filled in a few times a week. Until there is enough of your own history to judge a change, Feder says it is still learning and scores nothing, rather than guessing.
See whether you can trust the numbers in Linkly, one of your Visits apps. Feder only reads. It never changes anything in Linkly.
