Redirect question

[gkrehbiel]

I would like to track my orders by source (e.g., email, google, yahoo, etc.). One way to do that is through google analytics. For example, I could put a query parameter on each link that indicates the source (store.html?source=google), and then track conversions by source.

That's easy enough, but some of our marketing is done through the mail, and I would like to use friendly URLs. I don't think it's reasonable to ask customers to enter in a long URL with a query string.

So I'm wondering if there's an easy way in shopsite to set up redirect URLs to the page with the query parameter.

E.g., my flyer might say "go to domain.com/offer" and the /offer page would redirect to "offer5.html?source=decembermailing" ... or something like that.

Is this something that could be done through the shopsite interface, or does this have to be done at the server level?

It would have to be done on the server.
