Hi,

I am trying to set my destination URL to a specific place within a webpage. I think this is called an anchor link. If I enter the URL into my address bar then I am brought to the exact location on the page, but when i add tracking the page is loaded at the top.

The URL looks like this: www.examplepage.com/subpage.html

The URL with the anchor text looks like this: www.examplepage.com/subpage.html#TheSpot

my tracking: ?chn=GGL&yadda&yadda

So, what is the problem? Is there something I need to add to my tracking? I assume the # sign and ? cause problems. I'm not a programmer, just a PPC Chick so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi JustGirl,

To link to an anchor/bookmark/fragment (there's lots of different terminologies out there!) when the page contains a query string, you put the fragment at the end, like this:

www.examplepage.com/subpage.html?chn=GGL&yadda&yadda#TheSpot

Is this what you were using?

Thanks Andy!

I had mixed up the order. I was using:
www.examplepage.com/subpage.html#TheSpot?chn=GGL&yadda&yadda

I just tried it your way and it worked! Yay!

I really appreciate the help!
