Email Campaign Tracker Links: Disable title when hover over link

[leemoney24]

Hello all,

When I send a mass email with campaign tracker links...everything works great.
My only concern is that when I hover over a link...it displays a long url including the words "...campain_tracker..."
Is it possible to remove that text...only when the user hovers over the link. I tried to change the "title" tag for the URL..no luck.

Thanks,

Leland

In your marketing email template, view the HTML source and edit the campaign_tracker link directly

in the link tag add the directive alt="YOUR NEW DESCRIPTION"

it will look like this:

<a href="your_current_tracker_link" alt="new description"

Thank you...I should have posted the steps that I tried.

#1 - I used the alt="my description" as you suggested...in the final product (email inbox after running test campaign) the link text (on hover) reverted back to the tracker URL link text.
#2 - Next I attempted to use the title="my description"..and that gave me better hope...as it displayed the correct info when I did a preview...and it used the title text (in the preview)...but I realized that the preview was not the "final product" so I ran the test campaign again...and it gave me the tracker URL + "my description" (at the end)
#3 - So I went back to the HTML...and the WYSIWYG editor had changed my entry from <a href="{website}" title="Visit our website" alt="Visit our website">www.impactwelding.com</a> to <a title="Visit our website" alt="Visit our website" href="{website}" >www.impactwelding.com</a>...i don't think this matters...but I wanted to explain what I am seeing.
#4 - I proceeded to verify that the <title> tag would append the <title> to the end of the URL string...as found in #3. On all my other links...it did not append the <title> tag that I specified.

If you have successfully done this...please let me know...and I will keep digging. If this suggestion was in "theory," i kindly ask that you try to duplicate...and let me know if you get the same results.

p.s. This may not be a big deal to many...but I don't want my contact database thinking that we are "tracking" them...although we are interested in knowing what links they are clicking on. Most poeple won't even see that text...but some will.

Thanks,

Leland
