1. Give your source a name
: It can be anything you want. This name will be how your client will be designated in our tool.

2. Provider Key: It’s the website URL.

3. Add Client 

 

Important: Please note that HTTP and HTTPS sites are tracked separately by Ahrefs. Therefore, you need to add both as sources in DashThis to track them. If you omit the “HTTP” or “HTTPS” of an URL,  both results in your source will show in your data (e.g., http://example.com, or http://www.example.com, or https://example.com, or https://www.example.com).
