why these 27 tracking parameters matter

GDN to advertorial funnel breakdown & pro-level tracking setup

Want to see a key element of what it takes to scale a display traffic to advertorial offer on cold traffic?

Take a look at this GDN to advertorial tracking link:

That right there is 27 tracking parameters.

(we'll dive into what each of them mean & their importance in just a bit...)

This kind of tracking granularity allows you to understand how each of your ads/campaigns/networks/split tests are working and is critical when it comes to scaling a true multi-channel offer on paid traffic.

And in this week's Funnel of the Week funnel breakdown, we are diving into exactly this kind of advertorial to VSL funnel with John Belcher...

...Starting with understanding these 27 tracking parameters:

John is ex-Google, co-built AdSkills, built GiddyUp's elite internal testing/traffic "Red Team", and has helped many brands scale from 7 or 8 figures to 9 figures + with his patented traffic & conversion focused approach he calls "Funnel Plumbing."

(More on that topic in upcoming clips this week)

Go here to get in touch with John, he's a beast: https://johntbelcher.com/

John saw a GDN (Google Display Network) ad for this product and grabbed the full link - including all 27 link parameters - and we dove into a breakdown of the full funnel from that jumping off point.

(including the upsells & post purchase email flow)
