Tracking a link

If I have a link in my email signature, can I track those people who clicked from the signature? I use the link other places as well but just want to know if people are clicking from the email signature.

Yes, use the "clicked link in email" filter in a smart list. you will be able to select an email, then the URL.

if the same URL is present more than once in your email, add a URL parameter at the end to distinguish between them.

http://my.domain.com/mypage.html?link=1

http://my.domain.com/mypage.html?link=2

will be seen as different URLs by Marketo.

Or add an id to the <A> and constrain by Link ID.

I actually think all email links should have ids, not just ones with the same URL in different positions. Makes writing triggers so much friendlier, and you don't have to change the rules if the URL changes. Don't understand how anyone can stand doing it any other way!

What is <A>?

<A> means the <a> html tag, such as <a href="http://my.domain.com/mypage.html​" ID="LinkIDAsSuggestedBySanford">text here</a>

Re: Tracking a link

Would I need to clone the landing page in order to change the id?

Re: Tracking a link

Only if the link is in the template. Otherwise you change it at the email level.
