Hey Guys,

I am having a wierd problem... When i setup a campgain and i want the ad to point to

[foo.com...]

I then enable tagging in my campagin and the actual URL looks like this

[foo.com...]

The actual location the user ends up (i tried it, i clicked on my ad) is:

[foo.com...] (ie. One level up) even though the URL says

[foo.com...]

What am i doing wrong? How can i fix this? Your Help would be much appreciated as this is driving me crazy.

Thanks,
Karim0028

only thing i can think of is that they may not have their url editing algorithm set to process urls as fully as some webmasters may rewrite them...

it looks like it's dropping the last part because there's no (page) file name extension...

you have:
[foo.com...]

try:
[foo.com...]
(if not .php, then whatever your page's implied or redirected file extension is)

Try adding the trailing slash since you are pointing to a directory and not a specific page. Google is adding the Analytics Auto-tag to the end of your URL, and when the URL is the default for the folder, it should have its trailing slash added before any additional querystring variables are appended.

So try -> [foo.com...]
