Hi,
I'm a bit of a technically limited webmaster so bear with me.
I'm doing an interactive PDF that is gonna be sent to 500 people. On this PDF I'll put a hyperlink to my site that says designed by
Freelance designer and artworker in London, or something like that.
My site
Freelance designer and artworker in London is a WordPress blog.
I would like to know how many people click through to this link and how many pages they look at, what they're interested in, etc. But Google Analytics would record these visitors as direct traffic, I would think, so there'll be no way of differentiating them from my other direct traffic.
I wonder if I create another front page which has the same code as my "index.php" and call it something else, like "fromPDF.php" and link to that then I can track the visitors from the PDF. Unfortunately,
http://robcubbon.com/fromPDF.php doesn't work. Here is the code from a WordPress index.php
<?php
/* Short and sweet */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
require('./wp-blog-header.php');
?>
I'll post this question on the WordPress forum. I just wondered if anyone knew a quick work around here.
Sorry to burble on. Cheers!
