Northern Trail Outfitters (NTO) built an email with images, text, and links pointing to the same URL. NTO wants to understand how each type of link performs.
Which tag should NTO add to the HTML <a> element to differentiate the links?
Correct Answer: B
The tag that NTO should add to the HTML <a> element to differentiate the links is linkname1. Linkname is an attribute that allows NTO to assign a custom name to each link in their email, which can help them track and measure the performance of each link type2. By using linkname, NTO can see how many clicks each image, text, or URL link received in their email reports3. For example, NTO can use linkname like this:
<a href="https://www.nto.com" linkname="logo"> <img src="logo.png" alt="NTO logo"> </a> <a href="https://www.nto.com" linkname="text"> Click here to visit our website </a> <a href="https://www.nto.com" linkname="url"> https://www.nto.com </a> Conversion is not the correct answer, as it does not help differentiate the links. Conversion is an attribute that allows NTO to track and measure the revenue generated by each link in their email4. By using conversion, NTO can see how much sales each link contributed to their email campaigns5. However, conversion does not affect the name or appearance of the links.
Alias is also not the correct answer, as it does not help differentiate the links. Alias is an attribute that allows NTO to assign a friendly name to each link in their email, which can help them improve their email deliverability and reputation. By using alias, NTO can avoid using long or suspicious-looking URLs that may trigger spam filters or deter subscribers from clicking. However, alias does not affect the tracking or reporting of the links.
