How to Track Click Through Links on a Mapped Image

Click Here Click Here

In Your HTML Editor

  1. Upload an image.

Create Maps on the Image
The code will look something like this:
<map name="Map">
<area shape="rect" coords="30,135,83,159" href="#New">
<area shape="rect" coords="84,135,157,160" href="#Refresh">
</map>

In the Message Tab

  1. In the HTML message body, place a link to the image, and the map coordinates.
    <img src="images/mainmenu_all.jpg" border="0" usemap="#Map">

  2. You can link the mapped portion of the image to another site or to a named anchor. On the example below, click on the New and Refresh buttons to be taken to the bottom of the page.

Track the Clicks on the Mapped Sections of the Image

In the code, replace the mapped destinations with simulated click through merge fields:

<map name="Map">
<area shape="rect" coords="30,135,83,159" href="http://10.10.35.11:81/CT00001301{ENCODEDUNIQUEID}.html">
<area shape="rect" coords="84,135,157,160" href="http://10.10.35.11:81/CT00001302{ENCODEDUNIQUEID}.html">
</map>

10.10.35.11:81 is the server IP

000013 is the campaign ID (there are six digits total, the campaign ID in this example is 13}

01 is the click through ID

In the Click-Thru Tab

  1. Enter the destination URL.

  2. DO NOT enter anything in the display text area.

  3. Select a field in the table to update.

Send your message and test your links. The appropriate field should update just as it would with a normal click through.

Ok, you clicked on the New button. Back to image.
