Does anyone know how to add a referrer-string parameter in a URL, it would be "src=dm". My client is telling me I need to add this into the html code of their email blast so that specific link does not go to a splash page when clicked on.

If anyone know anything about this please let me know

Thank You!

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, elo2282.

You mean modify the GET request to include a query string for a link in the email? Such as

http://www.example.com/page.htm?src=dm

I will try it this is what the link looks like
http://ny.example.com/ShopOnline.asp

This is an an email blast, when you click on the link above it takes you to their headquarter site, they said adding that string below would solve the problem, just don't where to put it

That didn't work...I cant figure out where to put it or why when you click on that link it redirects you to another page, you can even see the link come up for a second then it switches over....

Is that how you thought it should look? I'm not to advanced in html....just know the basics...

Just take what you've got there and append the question mark and the variable name/value pair to the end of it.
