# Off-Site Links

Off-site links are hyperlinks whose URL resolves to an off-site domain.

If enabled, an event handler function is added for all links have href values for off-site domains. Note that by default, query parameters are removed from the off-site link to reduce the number of unique URLs.

**Using off-site links**

Suppose the on-site domain field contains:

`onsitedoms:"localhost,webtrends.corp"`

and the page contains the following hyperlink:

`<a href="http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_analytics">Wikipedia</a>`

Clicking the link generates the following parameters:

`DCS.dcssip=wikipedia.org` `DCS.dcsuri=/wiki/Web_analytics` `DCS.dcsref=http://tagbuilder.webtrends.com/Help/EventTracking/Offsite.aspx` `WT.ti=Offsite:wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_analytics?` `WT.dl=24`

**Defining the onsitedoms parameter**

The `onsitedoms` config parameter allows you to define what domains will be considered "on domain". For example, if you want to track off-site links from the product site yourcompanyshopping.com, and you enable off-site link tracking, you can ensure that links to your branding site continue to be tracked as on-site links by setting the `onsitedoms` config parameter to `yourcompanyshopping.com`,`yourbrand.com`.

**JavaScript Example:**

```
window.webtrendsAsyncInit = function () {
        var dcs = new Webtrends.dcs();
        dcs.init( {
                dcsid: "dcs12345610000wocrvqy1nqm_123p",
                //offsite and anchor event tracking
                offsite : true,
                onsitedoms:"webtrends.com,webtrendssupport.com"
        });
        dcs.track();
}
```
