How Can I Test the Campaign URL Options?

The short answer is to use the built-in ‘test’ feature by scrolling down and clicking on it, selecting the first result, then modifying the URL parameter by deleting it and entering ‘garage’ before pressing enter.

Full Explanation

Testing campaign URL options involves interacting directly with the testing tool provided within the system. Initially, you need to scroll to the section where the ‘test’ option is available and click on it. This triggers a list of results based on the current campaign URLs.

After selecting the first result from the test outcomes, you are taken to a page displaying a URL at the top. To test changes effectively, you should focus on modifying the URL parameters specifically by removing the existing parameter you find there. Once the parameter is cleared, you replace it with the keyword ‘garage’ and then press enter to reload the URL with the new parameter value. This allows you to verify how this parameter affects the campaign behavior or tracking.

Step-by-Step Breakdown

1. Scroll down within your campaign URL interface until you find the ‘test’ button.
2. Click on the ‘test’ button to generate a list of clickable results based on your campaign URL setup.
3. Click on the very first result from this list to open the page associated with that URL.
4. Locate the URL displayed at the top of the browser or interface.
5. Delete the existing parameter in the URL to clear it.
6. Type the word ‘garage’ in place of the deleted parameter.
7. Press the Enter key to reload this new URL with the updated parameter.

Real Examples

While specific real-world examples aren’t provided, the process involves changing the campaign URL parameter from whatever value it currently holds to ‘garage’. For instance, if the URL initially looks like www.example.com?campaign=summer, you would delete ‘summer’ and replace it with ‘garage’, resulting in www.example.com?campaign=garage.

Common Mistakes

• Not scrolling down enough to locate the ‘test’ option, causing you to miss this starting point.
• Failing to select the first result which is necessary to access the URL for modification.
• Forgeting to delete the existing parameter before adding ‘garage’, which may lead to URL errors or incorrect testing.
• Not pressing enter after inputting ‘garage’, which means the URL won’t refresh with your changes.

FAQs

Q: Why do I need to delete the URL parameter first?
Because replacing the parameter directly without deletion may result in an incorrect or malformed URL, deleting ensures only the desired term ‘garage’ is present.

Q: What happens after I press enter with the new parameter?
The page reloads using the new URL containing ‘garage’, allowing you to observe how this input affects the campaign tracking or testing results.

• Choosing the first result is essential to access the URL for editing.
