track links with a ? in the address

[girsch]

hi there - i am now using awstats and I ran a test where I went to a link on my site where the link was followed by ?2003001

I want to use a system like this to track which clients are clicking the links in the email I send.

It didn't show up in awstats. Is this something that awstats doesn't track or am I giving the links to the clients incorrectly?

I give the link like:

www.avenuebdesign.com/dentist?2003001

Any ideas?

thanks

Jon

See following section of the awstats.conf file, edit as desired:

# Keep or remove the query string to the URL in the statistics for individual
# pages. This is primarily used to differentiate between the URLs of dynamic
# pages. If set to 1, mypage.html?id=x and mypage.html?id=y are counted as two
# different pages.
# Warning, when set to 1, memory required to run AWStats is dramatically
# increased if you have a lot of changing URLs (for example URLs with a random
# id inside). Such web sites should not set this option to 1 or use seriously
# the next parameter URLWithQueryWithoutFollowingParameters.
# Change : Effective for new updates only
# Possible values:
# 0 - URLs are cleaned from the query string (ie: "/mypage.html")
# 1 - Full URL with query string is used (ie: "/mypage.html?p=x&q=y")
# Default: 0
#
URLWithQuery=0
