This is something that I thought the adtracks did already butas I was setting up this last tracker I noticed it didnt have this option maybe can be added to a future option I am not sure how it is written but an example is I want to send ppl to my battle page so i create the news letter and it already creates the link for the tracker name as it does now but also an option within the tracker to ad a redirect link so it be http://www.domain.com/go/battle/whatevergoes here to redirecthttp://www.domain.com/battles)
I hope that you understand what I am trying to get at here.

Sure it does. your talking about redirects.

There are 2 ways to do that. the 'on the fly' way or the 'change the url' way.

lets say you want to send a link directly to an artist whos URL is
http://yourJamroom.com/metallica

for 'on the fly' you create the link to look like this:
http://yourJamroom.com/go/(campaign name)/(sub campaign name)/metallica

and you will be directed to
http://yourJamroom.com/metallica

If that URL does not exist, then jamroom will bring you back to the top page.(so make sure its spelt right)

The other way to do it is just to set up the campaign first
http://yourJamroom.com/go/battles/newsletter

click on it once. As soon as you click on it the campaign will be created. Next go to your stats page and view all the stats from today. You should see:
battles
newsletter 1 1

Click on 'newsletter' and then on 'edit subcampaign' in this section you will see the URL field. Update this to the location of your battle and all future clicks will go directly to the battle page.

(if you update the main 'battles' campaign then all future subcampaings will get the same URL as the campaign they are under.)

does that answer your question?

interesting im going to try it right now

[Michael]

That method is only going to be good for recording CLICKS, so make sure you set you campaing to record clicks only.

This will stop it from tainting any other data.

If your intention is to record people signing up to a battle as a result of the newsletter, then tracking code to tell adtrackz that it should record a 'signup' or 'sale' needs to be entered into the 'Thank you' page after they have signed up to a battle.

Let me know if that is the intention and ill help set that up if you like.
