I've read in various places that it's a no-no to put utm tracking parameters on your own site because it could distort the original source. For example, let's say you share a link on twitter that drives to your blog post at blog.yourcompany.com/article-a
And then you have a banner in the side bar of that post that promotes an ebook that's hosted on LP pages.your company.com/ebook.
And you want track when people download the book that were referred from the blog, so you append the url to:
pages.your company.com/ebook?utm_source=yourcompany&medium=blog&campaign=x&content=banner
So if person went from twitter, to blog post, to LP and downloaded, that you'd lose the twitter piece in your tracking.
But Marketo gives you original referrer, which would contain twitter.
I guess you could also look at referrer URL to see last page that drove them to the download, but UTM parameters just seem better.
So I'm wondering if anyone has opinions either way on whether you should/shouldn't use utm parameters on your own website.
Thanks.
