While i have not done this for the directory info, I have successfully done this for many other things that we needed, but were not able to get tagged on the page. Also, if you have a content management system, you can frequently configure them to place the published URL in a custom Meta tag parameter.

The dcs.* parameters get transformed by the SDC server back into whatever they should be in logs. DCS.dcsuri gets turned back into the URI field for example. DCS.dcssta gets turned back into the status code field. When you peek at what SDC is sending, those are parameters, yes. But they don't end up that way in the SDC logs. Regarding the vintage of your WebTrends program --- it's actually the vintage of the SDC tag that's the issue. I'll be sure that's more clear in the posting. The Tagbuilder tag definitely creates WT.es, and I think one or two of the previous versions (pre-tagbuilder). I believe version 1.07 was the first one that did so. Not all tags have a version number in them. Eric – Regarding dcs.dcsuri – no, it won’t work. The dcs.* parameters get transformed by the SDC server back into whatever they should be in logs.
