Sup guys,
how do you avoid showing an url like ?ftzgbfuzgibsedrttuvzb6t76srdtizttadwaawddw&affcam paign=dumbpeople to your visitors?
I just find it looks totally scammy and it reduces my conversionrate and it's also plain dumb. I currently do a PHP redirect like this:
mydomain.com/welcome => long tracking url => mydomain.com/welcome/1
But that adds 200-300ms to the load time, when the tracker is on a 3rd party domain and it's just a very caveman approach. Also the user can still sense he's beeing redirected.
Any better solutions? I don't want the user to notice ANY tracking.
Depending on your tracker, you might be able to send a click event via jQuery.post() to your tracker in the background when the user clicks on your link, while sending him straight to your destination page.
Google Analytics works that way for example.
hey Steve,
With Thrive, you can just put our landing page pixel directly on your landing page to track clicks, without a tracking URL altogether.
You can then just use your landing page URL (e.g. mydomain.com/welcome) directly in your traffic source as the destination URL.
That will save you all the redirect time immediately.
We have lots of users using this now, and there are so many benefits to doing this.
You can still split test different offers and rotate them on your landing page as normal.

Hope this helps!
