= Link tracking
|
|
|
|
Using link tracking is [43]an easy way for us to find out how people are
|
|
getting to our download page. People might click over to our download
|
|
page from any of a number of areas, and knowing the relative usage of
|
|
those links can help us understand what materials we're producing are
|
|
more effective than others.
|
|
|
|
== Adding links
|
|
|
|
Each link should be constructed by adding ? to the URL, followed by a
|
|
short code that includes:
|
|
|
|
* an indicator for the link source (such as the wiki release notes)
|
|
* an indicator for the Fedora release in specific (such as F15 for the
|
|
final, or F15a for the Alpha test release)
|
|
|
|
So a link to get.fp.o from the one-page release notes would become
|
|
http://get.fedoraproject.org/?opF15.
|
|
|
|
== FAQ
|
|
|
|
I want to copy a link to my status update for social networking, or my
|
|
blog.::
|
|
If you're posting a status update to identi.ca, for example, use the
|
|
link tracking code for status updates. Don't copy a link straight from
|
|
an announcement that includes link tracking from the announcement. You
|
|
can copy the link itself but remember to change the portion after the
|
|
? to instead use the st code for status updates and blogs, followed by
|
|
the Fedora release version (such as F16a, F16b, or F16), like this:
|
|
+
|
|
....
|
|
http://fedoraproject.org/get-prerelease?stF16a
|
|
....
|
|
I want to point people to the announcement from my blog. Should I use
|
|
the announcement link tracking code?::
|
|
The actual URL link itself is the announcement URL. Add the link
|
|
tracking code for blogs, which would start with ?st and end with the
|
|
Fedora release version, like this:
|
|
+
|
|
....
|
|
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F16_release_announcement?stF16a
|
|
....
