How do I redirect to preserve tracking tags?
From Market Ruler Help
Some sites do automatic redirection for a variety of reasons:
- A/B Testing
- URL changes
- Ended Campaigns or Landing Pages updated
If your page redirects using JavaScript, you can still track on that page by using a bit of JavaScript for redirection:
<script type="text/javascript">
/* Edit this URL as needed */
var redirect_url = 'http://www.example.com/page/to/redirect.html?to=here';
/* No need to edit below here */
var query_string = window.location.search, referrer = window.document.referrer;
if (query_string) {
redirect_url += (redirect_url.indexOf('?') >= 0 ? '&' : '?') + query_string.substr(1);
}
if (referrer) {
redirect_url += (redirect_url.indexOf('?') >= 0 ? '&' : '?') + "crxref=" + escape(referrer);
}
window.location = redirect_url;
</script>
The redirect code actually preserves all query string parameters, and also adds the page referrer to the URL so it can be recorded by ConversionRuler.
