Mass produce tracking links?

Sup STM,

Looking for some guidance on how you pros pump out 1000s of tracking links for your campaigns. I doubt you guys manually edit your links to track 100s of images in multiple placements etc.

Do you use a excel macro or something similar?

Cheers

What source are you trying to track for?

why do you need 1000's of tracking links? Multiple creatives? different campaigns?

I'm not sure what you mean, but I'll take a stab at it:

You can take 1 campaign link and just append an number to the end

One way to do this is with excel using concatenate:

1. Put your tracking link in A1
2. Put a number in there B1
3. Drag the little dot downward to iterate numbers
4. Use =CONCATENATE(A1,B1)

One link, many keywords. That's it really. Macros/Dynamic tags do it for you most cases, but other times you got to enter them manually so you could just use excel or google docs to copy a list of sites/placements and append them to a link if you wanted to make it quicker.

Thanks for the idea Jasper. Ill play around with excel and see if I can get it to make variations with multiple tokens.

Cheers.
