I have found the google analytics have actually the gif for me to add in the email, but i am not sure whether the parameter setting is apporpriate
I follow some suggestion on internet, the only parameter required is
Parameter Description
utmac Google Analytics account ID
utmn Random ID to prevent the browser from caching the returned image
utmp Relative path of the page to be tracked
utmr Complete referral URL
and the paratmer suggested on google
Campaign Source (utm_source)
Campaign Medium (utm_medium)
Campaign Name (utm_campaign)
to create a gif
http://www.google-analytics.com/__utm.gif?utmac=UA-29940706-1&utmn=1214284135&utmp=receipent-email@hotmail.com&utmr=0?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter1
The problem are:
Whether the gif parameter correct?
Is it takes a day before the actual tracking generate on the google analytic website?
The way to do this is change the Campaign Name (utm_campaign) for other campaign, if the user want to track the result, just add the gif into the email, that's all?
Thank you
The most important parameter is utmcc
that contain Analytics cookies values, and especially the __utma
cookie value that contain visitor/session informations :
__utma=<domain_hash>.<session_id>.<first_time>.<last_time>.<current_time>.<session_count>
Note : please avoid to push personals datas like email into Analytics.
EDIT:
Don't forget that the majority of email client DO NOT load image by default. So you will not obtain accurate statistics.
