SID Confusion

Tony, I just want to double check something. In your book you suggest appending “&SID=” to the direct link so you can track things better. I’ve noticed that within CJ, for keyword links, you have to manually add the SID code but for content links, banners, etc. they actually give you an SID field that you can fill in and once you do that, they update the link code for you.

My question is this. When CJ adds the code for you, they use “?SID=”, not “&SID=”. Does this matter? Should we be using ?SID when we manually put them in our keyword links?

  1. Matty,

    The question mark (”?”) indicates the start of a variable list. The ampersand (”&”) indicates another variable. The only reason you sometimes see “?SID=” is because they sometimes put that SID first in the list of variables.

    Hope that clears it up.

    Tony
