Enter one or more originating URLs. An originating URL is the web site URL the user was on when they selected a link to come to your web site.
For each entry, select whether the URL of the site your visitor is coming from 'exactly matches,' 'contains,' 'starts with,' or 'ends with' the "URL Name" entered for the entry.
Select to 'include any' or 'exclude all' for all of the URLs added.
To remove added URLs, select the URL in the list and select the 'Remove' button.
Note: Special care needs to be taken when creating the inbound links for these experiences. Each inbound link should be appended with the following string: "affiliate_entry.cmd". Appending "affliate_entry.cmd" to the linke allows the site to capture the referrer information and place it in the user's session.
Examples:
http://www.site.com/affiliate_entry.cmd - This url will automatically redirect the customer to the home page, after capturing the referrer information in the user’s session.
http://www.site.com/affiliate_entry.cmd?redirectURL=/thumbnail/Apparel/Mens/Shirts/pc/101/c/109/103.uts - This URL, with the "redirectURL=” parameter, redirects the user to the page you specify after capturing the referrer information in the user's session.
http://www.site.com/affiliate_entry.cmd?affiliateURL=optionalname&redirectURL=/thumbnail/Apparel/Mens/Shirts/pc/101/c/109/103.uts - The third URL, with the "redirectURL=” and the "affiliateURL=” will redirect plus will override a specified value into the referrer name. This last way no longer has the benefit of capturing the true originating URL from the referrer, if the link is re-posted elsewhere. It’s there as an option for occasions when you want to allow customers to get the experience if they link from a re-posted location, but still capture some campaign ID information.
