Session based parameters

Hi
I have a customer that runs a number of external advertisments that point at the customers site. Included in the link are parameters identifying the campaign and the affiliate (Default.aspx?ID=222&campaign=XXX&affiliate=YYY). These XXX and YYY parametres need to follow every link the end user clicks on until they have purchased one or more products.

Is there any way Dynamicweb can be set up to handle this, custom or otherwise?

Thanks
David

Hi David,

We have something like that finishing up development. We also trigger a link to the affiliater site when a user registers and a first order is made. We use some cookies stored for up to 30 days (since dealing with anonymous users we can't identify them otherwise).

With this approach we don't need to have those links followed. If you need some in depth analysis, a module can flag that session and pull the visitor's statistics.

Let's see if Dynamicweb can also help with that :P
