If you ever have to create some tracking urls for your google adword campaigns for a site hosted on a Lotus Domino setup – then you need add the command ‘open’ to your url vars before the url will work. It had a few of us scratching our heads, because webservers normally ignore this stuff – whereas Domino returns a 404 page not found error.

So normally this would work:
http://www.mysite.com/mickysite/?trackid=googleuk

but for domino you need to do the following:
http://www.mysite.com/mickysite/?open&trackid=googleuk

I tidied this up because I think this structure could break some stats packages. Hence I settled for:
http://www.mysite.com/mickysite/?open=1&trackid=googleuk

If this helps you, please let me know!
