Using Your Own Tracking URL Name
If you would rather use your own URLs in your ads, as opposed to the generic Eztrackz ad tracking URLs, there is a very simple solution. For example, let's assume you have setup three ad tracking links - "id=1", "id=2", "id=3", etc. - and want to use your own URLs in your ads.
Here's how:
1. Create a new directory on your website and call it "web."
2. Within the "web" directory, create a new directory for each id. For example, directory ad1, ad2, ad3 etc. These sub directories must be set up to load a default file of index.html.
3. Within each of these directories, place an index.html that contains only this HTML code:
<html><head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://www.eztrackz.com/tracking.aspx?id=1">
</head></html>
Note: You can copy this HTML, just be sure to insert your own id.
So now, instead of using URLs like this in your ads:
http://www.eztrackz.com/tracking.aspx?id=1
http://www.eztrackz.com/tracking.aspx?id=2
http://www.eztrackz.com/tracking.aspx?id=3
You can use your own URLs such as:
http://www.yoursite.com/web/ad1
http://www.yoursite.com/web/ad2
http://www.yoursite.com/web/ad3
The HTML code above (that you will place in each index.html file) is a simple "meta refresh" that instantly redirects any visitors to the URL you specify in the meta refresh tag. Once you have created one of these index.html files, it only takes a few seconds to make a copy of it, change the URL to correspond to a different ad code, and upload it to your site.
