How is Custom URLs tracked by MyDataNinja

For custom URLs, MyDataNinja uses its own tracking parameter named NJID. NJID is basically a custom URL parameter, that turns your website’s URL into a trackable one. Creating your unique NJID is a very simple process, first, you should add your website to the MyDataNinja tool, and create a custom URL.

Instead of using short URL trackers that only display clicks and impressions, NJIDs tracks not only clicks, but leads, sales, and revenue from both short and regular URLs.

NJIDs are used in non-advertisement platforms just for tracking (such as emails, SMS, forms, etc), and they will bring data that will not be associated with any advertisement, which we call organic data and you can find it on the reporting page.
