It looks like the link may be pulling locally from your machine or is a cached link. Have you checked that the URL you've entered into Marketo begins with "http://www.kemptechnologies.com"?

This is common if you copy and paste relative URLs from a designer's email. Please be sure to load Images FIRST to Marketo, then update the HTML before creating the email.

Amy, looking at the 404 error you can see that the underlying page that your web server is looking for is (using a generic URL because it is easier to understand):

http://example.com/cache/normal/my-page/_utm_source=...

Whereas the page in your browser's location bar is:

http://example.com/my-page/?utm_source=...

So what is happening is your web server (Apache) has broken rewrite rules that are changing the query param ?utm_source, which should be harmless to append to a URL, into part of the URL path.  Therefore the server is correctly returning a 404 because http://example.com/my-page/_utm_source does not exist -- that part isn't broken.  What's broken is the Apache config.  Talk to your server admins... in your business they should definitely know how to fix this!

Hi Rachel -

I tried that and cleared my cache but nothing changed:
