If I send out an email campaign, I can't use custom http headers to know that a user arrived from the newsletter.
replyIf you are sending out an email, you can use whatever url form you like?
replyThis is talking about links to third party sites, not your own.
use a unique url for each email
replyAs your reader, I might not actually want you to know.
replyDo you really need to? Basic statistics will tell you if the email campaign had any significant effect on site visits.
replyIf 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?
replyIf 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.
replyIsn't putting in a different query string "including a different url that goes to the same place"?
replyIsn't this functionally the exact same?
presumably 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.
