Print Ad Trackign with Kentico
I am hoping someone could assist me with an issue I have come upon.
If i have a generic url which I use for a print ad, example www.samplesite.com/dogs
Is it possible to have it redirect to a url which I could use for tracking purposes which would look something like.
http://www.samplesite.com/?utm_source=NY%2BTimes&utm_medium=Print&utm_content=06-10&utm_campaign=General
I need to be able to track our marketing efforts.
Thank you for any help.

Hi, You can redirect each page to some url that you will specify on the document's Properties tab -> Menu section -> URL Redirection field. You can also track the campaigns using the web analytics module to track marketing campaigns or conversions. Best regards, Juraj Ondrus

Thanks Juraj,
Unfortunately, we use the same page for a number of different ads, so this will not allow for a redirect to a given tracking URL.

RE:Print Ad Trackign with Kentico
Hi Juraj,
Found this question here and it's exactly what I need to implement.
Basically I need to implement the following scenario; (2 different vanity url pointing to the same page but different tracking parameters)
This vanity URL when accessed
www.directasia.com/deal
redirects to home page
http://www.directasia.com?cid=2012d00165&utm_source=lta&utm_medium=offline&utm_term=road-tax-flyer_deal&utm_campaign=offline
2nd vanity URL when accessed;
www.directasia.com/offer
redirects to same home page but with different tracking
http://www.directasia.com?cid=2012d00166&utm_source=collaterals&utm_medium=offline&utm_term=carpark-coupon_offer&utm_campaign=offline
Is this scenario possible?

Hi,
If you will create such a redirect URLs for given documents (on the properties tab of given document) I do not see any reason why it should not work.
Best regards,

RE:Print Ad Trackign with Kentico
I can create the aliases of the homepage on properties tab. But I need to configure that URL1 goes to TRACKING1 and URL2 goes to TRACKING2?
I can't find that options.
How do I make sure there won't be a mix of redirection? say URL1 goes to TRACKING2 for example? This may skew the number in the reports.

RE:Print Ad Trackign with Kentico
Hi,
I am sorry but it does not make any sense to me. I thought that "offer" and "deal" are different pages since having different URLs for one page is not a good SEO practice.
Anyway, I think you will need to handle the redirection using some code in a custom web part.
Or, if you could describe your need in more details and clear way, maybe we can find some other way.
Best regards,
Juraj Ondrus

RE:Print Ad Trackign with Kentico
Hi Juraj,
"Offer" & "Deal" are 2 different aliases (I call this vanity url) and redirecting to same page whichs is our homepage but with different tracking urls.
"offer" will be tracking a different campaign medium
"deal" will be tracking another campaign medium.
Hope this is clear.
Thanks!

RE:Print Ad Trackign with Kentico
Hi,
And why are you talking about redirection - this is confusing me.
You can setup two aliases for given document A and B. In the alias setup, you will add the tracking campaigns. So, if someone hits the alias A, campaign X will be logged, if alias B - campaign Y will be logged. I do not see any reason for any other redirection.
Best regards,
Juraj Ondrus

RE:Print Ad Trackign with Kentico
Hi,
I only have 1 document, Document A.
In the alias I can add the 2 vanity urls such as "/offer" & "/deal"
when someone hits /deal, this should be redirected to site.com/cid=2012d00165&utm_source=lta
when someone hits /offer, this should be redirected to site.com/cid=2012d00166&utm_source=collaterals
As I mention both alias will redirect to the same document. Question is, where should I put the 2 different trackings?
In Extended properties section under document properties tab, I see "Track campaign: " field, are you referring to this when you said tracking? If so, how can add the other tracking then?

RE:Print Ad Trackign with Kentico
Hi, It is not working in that way - there is no redirection. Please, see the tracking camaigns documentation. In the tracking campaign field you will add just name of the campaign - A and B and then, in the web analytics module you can see the results how many users visited given URL. As I mentioned before - if you require a 301 redirection to a URL with that query string, you need to check the URL requests in the code and do the redirection on your own. Best regards, Juraj Ondrus
