Adding tracking Parameters to ShopWiki Click-through URLs |
Some merchants desire to have tracking information (such as a referrer code indicating that a user came to a page from ShopWiki) embedded in product URLs displayed in ShopWiki search results. ShopWiki supports a merchant-configured simple solution for such tracking problems. By including an HTML tag in the home page of your site, you can take advantage of this feature. The tag should look like: <meta name="sourceParameter" content="myparameter">. The important part of this tag is the 'content' attribute. This example tag will cause all URLs from your site to have "&myparameter=shopwiki" appended to the end of every URL. For instance, the following product URL:
The tag: <meta name="sourceParameter" content="myparameter">
http://www.yoursite.com/product.asp?pid=5
Will be transformed into:
http://www.yoursite.com/product.asp?pid=5&myparameter=shopwiki
This will allow you to track click-throughs from ShopWiki. Further, if you would prefer to specify the value of the parameter yourself, you may do so like this:
<meta name="sourceParameter" content="src=7">
so that:
http://www.yoursite.com/product.asp?pid=5
Will be transformed into:
http://www.yoursite.com/product.asp?pid=5&src=7
Where, for your own tracking purposes, the identifier '7' refers to ShopWiki.
We recommend using the following tag, when in doubt:<meta name="sourceParameter" content="src"> |
