[Hidden-tech] Will this create a trackable URL?

[Bruce Hooke]

You could use links such as those to do what you want, but actually making
it work depends on how you've got your website set up and how you gather
traffic data. Page visit data from Google Analytics is broken down such that
different values after the ? in a URL are recorded as different pages. So if
you've got Google Analytics running on your website you could see how many
new people visited business-for-a-better-world.com/telesummit?referrer=Shel
. The "new" part is important so you don't track people returning to that
page via a bookmark.

If I create a link with syntax like

business-for-a-better-world.com/telesummit?Shel or
business-for-a-better-world.com/telesummit?referrer=Shel, will it create a
trackable link that would bring people to
business-for-a-better-world.com/telesummit and track it to a referrer named
Shel?

If not, is there a different syntax that would do this, without formal
affiliate software?

Note: that link is not live, currently.
