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. The easiest way to add tracking tothe traffic sent from ShopWiki is to register for a merchant account and add the code you wish to track with there.
In addition, you can control on a page by page basis as well. 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">
