If I send out an email campaign, I can't use custom http headers to know that a user arrived from the newsletter.
- grg0 4mo agoDo you really need to? Basic statistics will tell you if the email campaign had any significant effect on site visits.
- maccard 4mo agoIf I release a video and send an email newsletter at the same time, which one caused the traffic increase? Should I invest in making more videos of sending more emails?
- hananova 4mo agoIf you insist on knowing, include a different url in both that goes to the same place and use your damn server logs. You don’t need google analytics and whatever.
- vel0city 4mo agoIsn't putting in a different query string "including a different url that goes to the same place"? Isn't this functionally the exact same?
- zaphar 4mo agopresumably you control the urls you are sending in the email. As a result if you want to use query strings that's fine. The issue only arises when you use query strings to implement tracking on someone else's site instead.
- zahlman 4mo agoAs your reader, I might not actually want you to know.

- cortesoft 4mo agoIf you are sending out an email, you can use whatever url form you like? This is talking about links to third party sites, not your own.
