I wanted to verify if our method of creating redirects for google campaign URLs is the best way.
Currently we:
This works for us, I just wanted to verify if there was an easier way to do this?
In addition we run into a challenge if we want to run multiple campaigns from different sources but end up on the same page. My work around for this is to add a slightly different non-sef URL such as adding language or category data to make it different.
Currently we:
- Have an existing page with correctly formatted URL being built based off of a menu item such as (index.php?option=com_content&catid=189&id=1060&lang=en&view=article)
- We create a google tracking campaign and end up with needing to append something like (?utm_source=JOP&utm_medium=print&utm_campaign=Conference2019) to a URL
- We usually want an alias doing the work as the URL likely will be published in a print piece something like website.com/2019
- I create a custom URL entry based on the non-sef URL of (index.php?option=com_content&catid=189&id=1060&lang=en&view=article) with an SEF URL of (meetings-and-events/2019-scientific-meeting/2019-scientific-meeting?utm_source=JOP&utm_medium=print&utm_campaign=Conference2019) and finally the alias of 2019.
