Hello, Is it possible to make search friendly tracking links? I have a website that I am driving traffic to from another site and would like to track how much traffic I am actualy driving on each link. I was told that everythign after the "?" will be disgarded by SE's and it will read the first part of the URL ok. Others said that this is not the case. is there any search friendly way to write unique URLs with tracking codes? Thanks!!
Once you add a tracking code to the end of the link, it isn't truly search engine friendly. Google or whoever won't understand that www.site.com/page.html and www.site.com/page.html?source=xyz+link=zyx are actually the same page.
Some redirect links are search engine friendly but you should steer clear of them just in case. Use javascript instead to record when a user clicks on a specific link. Store the results in a text file or a database. http://www.smart-it-consulting.com/article.htm?node=155&page=96 http://www.php-development.ru/php-scripts/click-tracker.php If you are able to use google analytics then you can use this to track clicks on any links within your site, including adsense.
