It's true it doesn't look as pretty, but that's the price you pay I guess, in the end like you say there's always that one person that tries to break the rules :D Ah but you can cheat, by entering utm_nooverride=1 at the end then the first time they load the page it sets the cookie data, but it isn’t altered from that point on, so if they play around with numbers it won’t be altered.

I kind of wanted to keep it pretty clean link ;) And yeh, I definitely could use that. I've been using analytics way too manually (and kept saying "I should use more of these" ;). You are so right. then they would change utm campaing to something else ;)

So you would link them to "http://www.deadwakegame.com/?utm_source=GameDemo&utm_medium=NagScreen&utm_campaign=V1.9.8" They're probably less likely to cheat the system, and in analytics you can track say the number of purchases from each version or source or medium etc :) If you want to track it through Google Analytics and you don’t want people to cheat the system then you should use campaign tracking.
