New Traffic Source Builder
We’ve been pretty busy at Nudge. So busy in fact that no one has had the opportunity to write about all the cool things we have recently released!
Back in March we released support for UTM parameters. This means that any URL containing UTM source tags, Nudge will use in the traffic source list.
We realize however that not everyone uses UTM and many of you instead, use our current Nudge tags. These have been great, but we thought it was time to give them an overhaul to allow for much easier creation and flexibility.
We have two new tags — ndg_source and ndg_label !
Whenever either of these are present in a URL, Nudge will take them and apply them as the traffic source.
E.g.
http://giveitanudge.com?ndg_source=Facebook&ndg_label=Promoted%20Post would show as Facebook — Promoted Post
To help make things even easier, we have also built a little tool for setting these up, right inside Nudge. This can be found in Settings > Traffic Sources.
Simply fill in the form with a URL, Source and Label and it will generate a new url ready for you to copy. There is even a preview for you to show you how it will look in a campaign.
Jump in, have a play and let us know how you get on. We’re pretty excited about this one and hope it makes setting up those traffic sources a whole lot easier!
