Sorry for the really novice question, but can someone explain the benefit of a sub-id? I just don’t quite get the concept.

Also If I want to track the url on Yahoo, Google, and MS, would I have to create 3 unique tracking urls for each ad network? It’s still unclear to me how I could track ad networks individually if I use all 5 sub-id variables at once.

I’m glad the grammar police are in the house. Now go back to reading YOU’RE ebooks.

It’s “you’re” not “your” you dum dum. If you insist on being nasty and flaming someone, you could at least get the grammar right.

I definitely do tracking but I parse out the SUBID info later, dump it into a SQL database and work my magic. Can you insert javascript in a pixel? I tried this with Azoogle before and it didn’t work.

I understand now Matthew. No you do not need to login to create the SUBID. You do need to log in to get the tracking link though.

There are 5 subids you can track at the same time! s1 through s5. These are good if you don’t want to have to break up your subids later. For example s1 could contain the website you are coming from. s2 could contain the keyword. s3 could contain a datestamp… or whichever.

I dynamically fill s1 with all my info. Perhaps I will post to how I do that.

Thanks for putting this type of information out there. I am VERY new at this and I am learning as much as I can. Much of the stuff you write is over my head, but I am learning and I am very glad there are people like you out there willing to share what you know.

Thanks
