Hi, Just a query about the Cj tracking link. I need to modify the link a bit to fit my requirement..but I am afraid if it will affect in not tracking correctly. So need your help. This is the default link CJ provides me for a product ... <a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-XXXXX-XXXXX?url=http%3A%2F%2FXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.com%2Fproduct.php%3Fproductid%3XXXX4&cjsku=11154" target="_top"><img src="http://The_image_url.jpg" border="0" alt="XXXXXXXXX"/></a><img src="http://www.lduhtrp.net/image-3645554-10650431" width="1" height="1" border="0"/> Now, if I change it to "http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-XXXXX-XXXXX?url=http%3A%2F%2FXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.com%2Fproduct.php%3Fproductid%3XXXX4&cjsku=11154" and display it with the same image but from my own server, will it track correctly? (masked out some field as it will become affiliate link and not sure if its okay
The CJ 1px image is the only way they can track impressions. If you put the image on your server, it will not track.
So, it wont track only impression? Other things like clicks/sale will be tracked,right? By image on my own server I mean the product image not the 1px image. Its like I am saving the product image on my server and linking the image with that modified track link. Something like ... <a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-XXXXX-XXXXX?url=http%3A%2F%2FXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.com%2Fproduct.php%3Fproductid%3XXXX4&cjsku=11154"><img src="product_image_on_my_server.jpg"/></a>
You can put the product image on your sever without affecting sales or tracking. You need to include the 1 px image for proper tracking and CJ says you need to include it - but you should still get credit for the sale. You must make sure you have permission to use a product image if you aren't using the one provided by cj.
