NATS 3
|
|---|
A linkcode is a referral URL tracked by NATS.
Redirecting to the Correct Page
When NATS turns a linkcode into a tour URL, it automatically appends a slash (/) to the end of barewords. You can prevent this by appending a question mark to the end of the URL. For example:
| Tour URL | Where Linkcodes Go |
|---|---|
| http://example.com/tour | http://example.com/tour/?nats=natscode |
| http://example.com/tour? | http://example.com/tour?nats=natscode |
Qualified Link Codes
If there's a extra "t" in your linkcode, you probably grabbed the wrong link code from the top of the Sites edit page.
http://join.site.com/ttrack/<?=$_REQUEST['nats']?$_REQUEST['nats']:'MDowOjE'?>/page.html
The ttrack is used for qualified clicks; track is used for normal hits.
