So I've been having my developer work on trying to successfully strip the t202 url string once t202 receives its variables/data. However, it has not worked yet. This is currently my set up:

1.) User comes to landing page w/ t202 variables (www.abc.com/t202kw1adgroup1etc).

2.) Meta refresh to www.abc.com

3.) If/when user clicks out to the affiliate offer page, t202 variables are recalled.

T202 does track the variables and shows them in the reporting interface, but it doesn't track whether or not the user clicks to the affiliate page (well it doesn't associate those clicks w/ the proper user and his variables). I've read a few posts on the forum about others trying to do this, but I'm not sure if anyone's had success making this work properly. Is there a way to make this work? Please get back to me asap as this has been very frustrating and putting a hold on many of my campaigns because I want to ensure the tracking is done properly and as best as possible!

Are you trying to skip the redirect.php process?

Thanks for your quick response Aaron! No, the redirect.php process is not being skipped. Somehow the keywords are just not being sent through when the user clicks out. Is there anyone using t202 that has made this work properly?

You're keyword data is should be captured through your destination url. How did you setup your campaign? Why are you trying to strip the t202 string?

Stripping the url string looks cleaner to users. Is it even possible to make T202 work properly while stripping the url string and having it be recalled when users clickout to the offer?
