cj & handling the exact page on a merchant's site user lands on

[disgust]

is there a way to this? like in the flexible destination tool for ebay, but for all sites?

I could have sworn I was told there was a way to do this that'd work for all cj sites, but I'm having trouble finding info on it

Hi disgust,

The only way I know about (through CJ) is to enter the link details page and clicking advanced. If the merchant has allowed url redirects you get up a field where you can enter any URI you'd like.

There is, however, an other way as well. The script CJ is running to make this possible, automatically redirects all links to the page you want if you format the link properly (i.e. adds ?url= to the link). You'll have to do this manually though, and I'm not sure how popular it is with merchants in general (since it might skew their statistics). I've done it a few times though, and the tracking seems to be working just fine.

Hope this helps.

yep, the second thing was what I was looking for

I was using?loc= and couldn't figure out why it wouldn't work

thanks!

I believe if you use the "URL" querystring variable at the end of your links you have to encode the value (for example: URL=http%3A%2F%2F).

it seems to work just fine without doing so
