I updated the code on http://linktrack.info/blog/free-branded-url-tracking to accommodate Plus+ tracking. Try it out and let me know if you have any problems.

I understand in concept what you are saying.

I am too busy using your product with links I want to track to take the time to study how to rewrite the .htaccess file to follow the rules to support the plus tracking concept.

So I will table it for now.

Thanks for your post response.

You are probably using the sample .htaccess file from our post http://linktrack.info/blog/free-branded-url-tracking. The redirect defined in that .htaccess file was as simple as we could make it and doesn’t account for additional parameters like you would use with Plus+ tracking. You could rewrite our sample file to accommodate Plus+ tracking (and if you do, please send me a copy to post) but out of the box it won’t work they way you’re expecting. The free branded url tracking is not something we officially support (since it relies on another server that we can’t control), but here’s essentially how it works:

Right now, the re-write in the sample .htaccess says “take all incoming requests like http://mydomain.com/my_link and route them to http://linktrack.info/my_link“. If you re-write the file for Plus+ tracking, you want it to say, “take all incoming requests like http://mydomain.com/my_link/plus_tracking and rewrite the to http://mydomain.com/my_link/plus_tracking OR take all incoming requests like http://mydomain.com/my_link and route them to http://linktrack.info/my_link”

That’s probably clear as mud, so let me know if you have any questions.

When I use it with your linktrack.info url it works great.

However, when I use it in combination with my branded version:

http://hoims.com/afe7f3c/OrWa03052010

It shows a broken link.

My branded image works fine if I don’t add the tracking info

To confuse matters, I think even when it shows as a broken link on my website (wordpress blog) I think it still registers as a visitor on my linktrack pro account.

Is the error part of the Tracking feature? My branded site? Or?

If information is power, your product gives a lot of power to those marketing on the internet!

Thanks for the question! The system doesn’t allow for bulk actions or folder creation (yet), but I can do a one time bulk update for you manually. Just send a list of the links you want updated as well as the username for your account via the web form: http://linktrack.info/contact

Glad you’re enjoying the service!

This is an incredible program and I already have a list of over 1000 links I want to add to your system.

I wish I didn’t have to pay every month but thats just because I am cheap skate.

The 6.99 is real steal for all the use I get on a monthly basis!
