Redirect links
Your organization's website is set up with Oracle Eloqua tracking scripts so that you can track usage, and Oracle Eloqua landing pages are also tracked by default. However, using redirect links (URLs generated by Oracle Eloqua), you can also track links to untracked web pages or files. If, for example, you link to a third-party website from a landing page, you can track clickthroughs to the website using redirect links. Redirect links contain the elqTrack=true parameter in their URL. Learn more about this parameter.

Note: Oracle Eloqua landing pages are tracked by default, no action is required to track landing pages. If a landing page URL is detected in the field for a webpage link type, the tracking option will be disabled and the URL link will not be displayed in manage links.
Adding and removing redirect links in the Design Editor
By default, Oracle Eloqua adds the elqTrack=true parameter to hyperlinks in the landing page and email Design Editors.
To remove the parameter, click on the hyperlink to open the Hyperlink panel, and deselect the Add tracking for untracked external pages option.
What contacts will see
After saving the email or landing page with a redirect link, Oracle Eloqua generates a unique URL for the redirect. When a contact clicks the hyperlink, the Oracle Eloqua-generated URL link opens first. Then the contact is redirected to the destination URL.
Redirect links are also generated when you add files to the file storage component library.
