[Hidden-tech] Best way to do a trackable link to someone else's site (NON-affiliate)? TIME-SENSITIVE

[Michael Muller]

Shel,

Only one ? question mark. All other variable=value pairs need to be

  * http://websitename.com/page?firstvar=something&secondvar=other&thirdvar=another

If they are using Google Analytics, you may want to use their built-in 
campaign variables
