Secured Domain for Tracking Links: Domain Verification

How do I verify that my tracking link domain is secure?

There are two primary methods for verifying that your domain is secure; by testing within a web browser and using a third-party SSL checker.

Verifying Domain Security Through Web Browser

1. In your Marketo instance, navigate to Admin --> Email

2. In this link https://<your_tracking_domain>/trk?=ping, replace <your_tracking_domain> with your actual tracking domain.
