Hi Dave,

I am Nadav Samet, the founder of KeyTrail.

Thanks for your question. The answer to your question is yes. KeyTrail can definitely handle redirections, as long as you set up the redirect in a way that passes the tracking code to the merchant. This is an easy thing to do with any kind of redirection technique, such as htaccess, php or javascript.

For example if you use the url http://www.yoursite.com/go/merchant to redirect to http://merchant.com, you should make sure that

http://www.yoursite.com/go/merchant?tid=xxxx redirects to
http://merchant.com/?tid=xxxx

If this sounds too complicated - don't worry. KeyTrail support staff will be happy to help you to set it up.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for stopping by. I honestly do not know answer to your question but if I were to take a guess I would say no. I think the tracking is done via javascript + trackind id in affiliate link. If you have redirects, the javascript may not be able to grab your link.

Again it's only my guess. Let's hope some one from KeyTrail swings by to enlighten us.

I was wondering if this product can help tracking keywords even if you have implemented redirects for your affiliate links?
