: GA Source/Medium/Campaign for QR or typos I'm doing an experiment for a realtor with a single property sites (e.g. 123address.com) and we want to track the various traffic sources but confused

@Jessie594

Okay so the first thing to make clear here is that you're using the Google Analytics URL Builder to add campaign parameters.

And you're correct, you're confused by the terminology used...


Source: The source sending the traffic via the URL.
Medium: What type of traffic is it.
Term: A term that identifies the specifics of the type of traffic.
Content: Distinguishes between different specifics.
Campaign: A name given to the overall campaign.


So, as an example, for offline QR codes:-

domain.com/?utm_source=offline&utm_medium=mobile&utm_term=signage&utm_content=for_sale_yards&utm_campaign=QR_Codes


This isn't an ideal scenario as from what I can gather, you're trying to add campaign tracking to a URL that will typically be triggered offline, but something such as the above, would allow you to clearly track a campaign for QR code referrals.

If this doesn't answer your question though, you'll have to be clearer about what you're trying to achieve and I'll modify my answer as necessary.

In order to track typos of your domain, you could, create server aliases in your server vhost configuration for this...
