The Tracking URL is the URL generated by LinkTrust and issued to affiliates. Traffic is passed through this URL which facilitates tracking. The URL is setup when your account was created and it uses the custom domain you pointed to LinkTrust and points to http://YourCustomDomain/track.aspx. This URL is automatically populated into creatives if you use the [=TrackingURL=] token. Your Tracking URL can be used in Standard URL, SEO URL format in version 6.0. You can locate your tracking URL in the "Publish to the Affiliate Center" under "Settings".
