•          Modified Link with Lead Capture

<a target="_blank" href="http://www2.viewmylisting.com/Registrationlink.aspx?coid=XXXX&link=Link_Id_Text&fwd=www.somewebpage.com/Search.htm">Link Text</a>

Note: “XXXX”= VML ID Code. Contact Support at support@taronetwork.com for the ID Code.

•          Webmaster Instructions / Link Placeholder 

target="_blank" - Indicates the link should be opened in a new window.  If omitted the current window will be used.

'http://www2.viewmylisting.com/Registrationlink.aspx'  - Address of the lead capture link page.

'?coid=XXXX' – Company Id provided by Taro Systems, Inc.  Used to pass company logo to maintain identity.

'&link=Link_Id_Text'  - uniquely identifies your existing link.  The Link_ID_Text is added to the notes and should be replaced with text that identifies the link. e.g. 'Search Listing' or 'Request Info'

'&fwd=' - prefixes the original link href text.  Note the http:// prefix was removed from the original href value. This lets the lead capture page know what landing page to take the customer after they have completed the form.

         <a href="Search.htm">Link Text</a>

                     <a href="www.somewebpage.com/Search.htm">Link Text</a>

-          Now add the lead capture link code.

<a href="http://www2.viewmylisting.com/Registrationlink.aspx?coid=XXXX&link=Link_Id_Text&fwd=www.somewebpage.com/Search.htm">Link Text</a>
